Learning outcomes: Student: -knows properties of constructional metals; knows about metallurgic products -knows rules of constructing and designing cross-sections under simple loads; knows rules of designing axially loaded simple uniform steel columns and beams under simple bending; knows cases of local and global instability -knows steel fasteners; knows how to construct steel welded and bolted joints. Skills -is able to select right steel grade for structural members -is able to perform analysis of stability limit states and ultimate limit states of simple steel bar structures in scope of assessment of critical states and limit states; -is able to design selected members and simple steel structures; -is able to design welded or non-preloaded and preloaded bolted joints
