Courses

Steel Structures I

General

Course Contents

Structural steel: mechanical properties and typical structural applications. Structural analysis and
Eurocode 3 provisions for the design of steel structures. Load combinations. Ultimate and
serviceability limit states. Local buckling and cross-section classification. Resistance of steel crosssections and steel members under tension, compression, bending, shear and combined action
effects. Buckling resistance of steel members. Flexural and lateral-torsional buckling. Structural
layouts and load resisting mechanisms of typical steel structures.

Educational Goals

Upon the successful completion of the course the students are anticipated to:
– Understand the load resisting mechanisms in typical steel structures;
– Understand and analyse the mechanical behaviour of beam-type steel members;
– Identify possible failure mechanisms;
– Check and design steel members according to the Eurocode 3 provisions
