Key words
Objectives
Introduction to the use of steel and other metals as building-materials and
to the design, manufacturing and erection of steel structures.
Topics
1. Introduction and generalities
Common characteristics; production of steel; properties; classification
according to chemical structure, application(s) and shape and size of the
building-products.
2. Steel for common use in steel construction
Chemical structure; mechanical properties: strength,toughness and
ductility,hardness; trade products of rolled steel + appliance; mechanical
working; corrosion (general and local); rust (removing, preventing and
protection).
3.Dimensioning of sections of profile metals and other structural elements
Allowed stresses and strains; yield-criterion; load types: traction and
compression, instability, shear, bending, contact-pressure, torsion.
4.Joints
Welded connections (welding techniques, specifications, residual welding
stresses, recommendations for design and construction); connections made
with bolts, rivets or pins
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge of the rheology of steel and other metals.

oral examination after written preparation : 100÷
However, if a student gains a score of 7 or less on 20 on one of the different courses (parts of training items), he proves that his skill for certain subcompetencies is insufficient. Consequently, one can turn from the arithmetical calculation of the final assignment of quotas of a training item and the new marks can be awarded on consensus. Of course the examiners can judge that the arithmetic regulations mentioned in the study index card can also be used for 7 or less. For each deviation a detailed motivation ought to be drawn up. In that case one should point out that the skill for this subcompetency is proven to be insufficient, if the student didn’t pass the partim that is considered to be important for certain subcompetencies.
