Objectives
It is intended that students be able to apply knowledge of strength of materials, analysis, stability and design of structures, as well as the concepts of the regulation (RSA, REAE, EC1, EC3 and EC4) to the design and rehabilitation of steel and composite structures.
Program
1. INTRODUCTION. 2. STRUCTURAL ANALYSIS and CLASSIFICATION OF CROSS SECTIONS: elastic and plastic global analysis; P-delta effects; influence of joints; restraining. 3. DESIGN OF STEEL STRUCTURES: strength of cross sections; buckling; lateral and local buckling; joints and detailing. 4. STEEL-CONCRETE COMPOSITE STRUCTURES: steel-concrete connections; design of composite beams and slabs.
Evaluation Methodology
Assessment consists of a written exam (80%), with a minimum grade of 9 points out of 20 and a practical assignment (20%).
