– Calculate the combined ultimate limit state of steel and concrete in composite structures.
– Design 3 dimensional composite structures
– Distinguish between analysis methods and construction stages of composite structures.
– Calculate, check and dimension beams, slabs and columns of composite structures according to
Eurocode 4
