Stiffening of structural frameLaajuus (3 ECTS)

Objective

The student understands the principle and purpose of loadbearing structural frame and stiffening systems. He can define horizontal and vertical loads on the frame as well as the stresses in it. He can choose the stiffening system, add necessary stiffening structures and design structural elements and joints.

Content

Stiffening systems and their function
Definitions and calculations for horizontal and vertical loads
Calculations for axialforces, shearforces and bending moments
Design and finding dimensions for structual elements
Design of joints

Qualifications
