Structure III
The aim of this course is to explore the design, mechanical behavior and calculation (pre dimensioning) of the structural systems based on assembling either steel or wood. Mainly articulated knots. The student will deal with: steel frame structures; steel decks and steel spatial structures. Students will get to know the different connection mechanisms: bolted and welded.
The course is focalized in steel and so this material will have a deep approach; nevertheless wood structures -platform frame and CLT- are also covered.
The course analyses the different ferrous alloys and their life-cycle assessment.
The student will deal with parametric design/pre-dimensioning using BIM.
1. To identify fundamental behaviors.
