Course contents :
|
| Steel constructions:
The course follows the course of Steel Construction I. The knowledge gained from this previous course is extended to structural members with more complex support conditions and sensitive to new instability phenomena (coupled instabilities - flexural buckling and lateral torsional buckling). The course includes the following subjects:
- Design of members subjected to compression with more complex support conditions
- Design of members subjected to bending with more complex support conditions
- Design of members subjected to both compression and bending
- Design of connecting elements

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| Steel constructions:
At the end of this course and the exercise sessions, the students will be able (in addition to the skills learned in the course of Steel Construction I) to design steel structural members with more realistic end conditions (as part of a structure) and submitted to more complex loadings, with in particular the consideration of interaction between bending and compression in the beam-columns. 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.
Besides, the students will be able to design basic bolted joints, which basically consists in checking the resistance of bolts in tension and/or shear and the resistance of plates in bearing. They will also be able to identify the load path from one connected element to the other in a joint. |
|
Prerequisites and co-requisites/ Recommended optional programme components :
|
| Solid and material mechanics. Besides, the students should master the concepts taught in the course of Steel construction I. |
|
Planned learning activities and teaching methods :
|
| Steel constructions:
- Theory lessons: 10h (attendance is strongly recommended but not compulsory)
- Exercise sessions: 18h (attendance is COMPULSORY), including 4h work on a group project consisting in the design of a 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.
After the group work, a report will be handed in and evaluated. The obtained mark 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. |
