| The goal of the course is to teach the theoretical background and the actual design guidelines of EN1998-1-8 for the design of steel connections and joints. In addition, the course aims to clarify all the available methods of analysis for the design of steel structures. It covers the design of bolted and welded connections, connections of braces to gusset plates, secondary-to-main beam connections, end plate beam-column joints, splices, and column base connections. It describes all the available methods of analysis for the design of steel structures and offers a theoretical treatment of P-Delta effects and geometric nonlinearities.
After successful completion of the course, the student will be able to: · Design simple bolted connections · Design simple welded connections · Design brace-to-gusset plate connections · Design secondary-to-main beam connections · Design column bases · Design beam-to-column end plate connections · Design splices · Choose among the available methods of analysis for the design of steel structures · Distinguish P-delta and P-Delta effects and have an overall understanding of geometric nonlinearities |
