Institute for Steel Construction Studies Courses
Basic Principles of Structural Engineering II

Module: Basic Principles of Structural Engineering II

You will find the contents and further information on the course in the module catalogue of the bachelor's program "Bau- und Umweltingenieurwesen".

Objectives

The students gain basic knowledge about the composite construction material concrete as well as construction steel. The ability for estimating the load bearing characteristics of components made from these materials will be given. Additionally, structures loaded by bending moments, shear and normal forces can be designed for the ultimate limit state.

Topics

Part 1: Construction steel (Inst. f. Steel Construction)

  • Components of steelwork
  • Designing of bar-like components (beams, columns)
  • Elastic, plastic loading conditions

Part 2: Basics of masonry construction (Institute for Concrete Construction)

  • Building materials, assemblies and structural components
  • Load-bearing behaviour of masonry
  • Design of masonry
  • Source of errors and the respective avoidance

Exam

The exam exists of theoretical and calculation tasks.
