Course contents :
|
| Principles of Structural Design : analysis of existing buildings, loads, actions, solicitations, actions of wind, ultimate states. Steel constructions: design, protective devices, fire and corrosion, mechanical characteristics, elastic and plastic section design according to EC3 (compression, traction, simple flexion, composed flexion, biaxial flexion, deviated flexion), phenomena of instability (buckling, ...), calculation of bolted and welded connections. Technology of concrete : properties of concrete's components, composition, proportions. Reinforced concrete : ultimate states (according to EC2) : compression, simple and composed flexion, stamping, torsion and buckling, technology and principles of concrete building design. Prestressed concrete : principles, aims and techniques for pre and post stressing, cables, anchoring, losses of stresses in steel, elastic calculation. Wood structures : mechanical and physical characteristics, connections, calculation and design according to EC4, protection, fire resistance. Masonry constructions : design and rules of calculation. |

Learning outcomes of the course :
|
| After completing the course the student is expected to be able to design and calculate the structures made out of steel, concrete, wood and masonry (buildings, bridges, footbridges, etc), with a good knowledge of the eurocodes. |
