Valid for year : 2008
 
TNBI32 Timber and Steel Structures, 6 ECTS credits.
/Trä- och stålkonstruktion/

For:   BI  

 

Prel. scheduled hours: 50
Rec. self-study hours: 110

  Area of Education: Technlogy

Subject area: Civil Engineering
  Advancement level (G1, G2, A): G1

Aim:
The course intends to give basic knowledge of timber and steel structures.
  • The student should be able to describe properties and applications for the most common building construction materials
  • Design of basic structures should be performed by using tables, formulas and handbooks. The calculations should be easy to follow and understand
  • Calculations should be implemented in ultimate limit state and in serviceability limit state
  • Technical terms, symbols and conventions should be used adequately
  • Knowledge should be used integrated in analysis and solution to basic structures. Calculations should be estimated with reasonable approximations
  • The student should have an overview of function, action and validity of composed structures made up of different building units
  • The student should act in order to find creative and well working solutions to project assigments
  • Project assigments should be presented adequately. Drawings should be implemented in CAD


Prerequisites: (valid for students admitted to programmes within which the course is offered)
Structural Mechanics and Strength of Materials. Building Technology basic course. CAD Technology 2D.

Note: Admission requirements for non-programme students usually also include admission requirements for the programme and threshhold requirements for progression within the programme, or corresponding.
Organisation:
The lectures contain theoretical parts, solutions to typical problems and preparation of project assigments. A field trip to a suitable object. The course takes place during two study periods.

Course contents:
Timber design: Wood as a building construction material. Determination of capacity subject to bending moment, shear force and normal force. Joint design with nails, screws and bolts. Calculation of deflection. Design of various types of connection. Bracing of horizontal forces. Steel design: Steel as a building material. Partial coefficients. Calculations in ultimate limit state: Design subject to bending moment, shear force and normal force and joint design with bolts and welds. Calculations in serviceability limit state: Design subject to deformation. Constructional details and instructions. Rust and fire protection.
