Learning Outcomes for module:

Upon completion of this module you will be able to

LO1: Develop an understanding and working knowledge of Eurocodes with respect to steelwork.

LO2: Analyze and design lattice girders to Eurocodes using secondary bracing and bending systems.

LO3: Evaluate structural elements with respect to fatigue loading, as well as various buckling modes, e.g. local, flexural, distortional, lateral torsional, torsional and frames with respect to second-order effects,.

LO4: Critically assess structural stability of thin plates subject to various in-plane loading conditions.

LO5: Analyze and design plate girder and lattice girder elements to Eurocodes.
