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.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   Physical and mechanical properties, classification of steel structures
2   Technical comparision of the advantages and disadvantages of steel members
3   Understanding the calculation steps of designing steel structures
4   Explanation of welded and bolted connections used in steel structures by examples
5   Relating with new trends and computational techniques in steel structures
