Code

CE-KON4

Version

1.0

Offered by

Civil Engineering

ECTS

Prerequisites

Courses KON1, KON2, KON3 or similar.
Basic knowledge of statics, reaction determination and calculation and drawings of internal force diagrams. Calculation of normal and shear stress in different steel profiles. Calculation of deflection in steel beams and material knowledge of steel. Be able to use the calculation program Autodesk Robot or similar on simple constructions.

Main purpose

The main purpose is to gain a basic knowledge about global stability of multiple story shear wall building and plastic design of steel structures.

Knowledge

After the course, students must have gained knowledge of and understanding within:
- Plastic and elastic load distribution in statically indeterminate shear wall multiple story structures
- Virtual work and flexibility method for calculating deflexion, rotation and reactions.
- Plastic moment distribution using partly the principle of virtual work as well as superposition
- Steel columns subjected to moment
- Simple welded and bolted steel connections.

Skills

After the course, the student must be able to:
- demonstrate the global stability of statically determinate shear wall and diaphragm buildings, including determination of whether seismic load or wind load is dominant.
- determinate deflection and rotation in structures by using virtual work principle.
- determinate the reactions in statically indeterminate beams by using flexibility method.
- determinate plastic moment distribution using the principle of virtual work
- design columns subjected to moment and axial force.
- design simple welded and bolted steel connections.

Competences

At the end of 4 semesters, the students in collaboration with other students must be able to, use the achieved knowledge and skills to be able to design steel structures as well as an estimate of the stability of shear wall buildings
