Course Objective

Introduction and use of the material properties of steel, teaching the calculation methods of steel members, defining and dimesioning the connection members are intended in the course scope. In case of constitution of structural elements as steel members, recognition of the necessary steps and the sizing methods by students are targeted. Steel structural elements in comparison to national and international analyse methods are scheduled for discussion.
