Steel Structures - Technical Notes (EC3)

This course consists of a set of introductory slides on various concepts related to stability of steel structures, parallels between theory and modeling with finite elements in SAP2000, as well as some notes on the verification and design rules of Eurocode 3.

Language: English
201 slides

Course objectives


These slides were created internally by our team a few years ago as aids used to introduce trainees attending our training courses to aspects related to the stability of structures, simulation using finite elements in SAP2000 and the applicability of Eurocode 3.

It is not a course designed to function as stand-alone learning content, but rather a set of interesting, useful and in some cases enlightening elements on aspects of modeling, design and practical applicability in the field of steel structures.


Target Audience


Professionals, teachers or university students with an interest in modeling steel structures, SAP2000 and Eurocode 3.
