Course contents :
|
| Steel Constructions:
The course constitutes an introduction to steel construction and to the design of the main structural elements of a steel structure. It includes the following subjects:
- Knowledge of the steel material and its fabrication mode
- Steel constructions safety
- Resistance of steel profile cross-sections
- Design of members subjected to tension
- Design of members subjected to compression
- Design of members subjected to bending
|
|
Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Steel constructions:
At the end of this course and the exercise sessions, the students will be able to design simple steel structural members with idealised support conditions and subjected to one of the following basic loadings: pure tension, pure compression, simple bending. For this purpose, they will be able to check the necessary resistance and stability requirements at ultimate limit state and the displacement limitations at serviceability limit state. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Solid and material mechanics |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Steel constructions:
- Theory lessons: 14h (attendance is strongly recommended but not compulsory)
- Exercise sessions: 14h (attendance is COMPULSORY), including 2h test and 4h work on a group project consisting in the design of a basic structure.
Exercise sessions are organised during which the concepts taught in the theory lessons are applied. Some exercises will be solved and explained in detail during these sessions while others will be partially or fully solved by the students themselves.
For the group work, a report will have to be handed in at a date to be decided by the teacher. At their request, the students might meet the teacher who has corrected their report to discuss the observed mistakes. |
|
Mode of delivery (face-to-face ; distance-learning) :
|
| Face-to-face lecture |
|
Recommended or required readings :
|
| Steel constructions:
For the theory lessons, the students will be given notes covering the whole course contents.
For the exercise sessions, the students will be given an exercise book in which they can find many solved and unsolved exercises. |
|
Assessment methods and criteria :
|
| Steel constructions:
An oral examination will be organised at the end of the term, as well as a 2 hours long written examination. For the theory examination, the students will be asked to physically understand the phenomena and be able to explain them instead of repeating the notes content.
An exercise test will be organised after the first exercise session. The subject will be the design of members submitted to pure tension or pure compression. After the group work, a report will be handed in and evaluated. The obtained marks will be taken into account to compute the course global mark. A written exercise examination will be organised, for which the students will be allowed to have their books and notes. |
