The course begins with the moment capacity of plate girders. A general description is given of the plate girder behaviour in terms of elastic buckling of web in shear and bending, and web in tension field action. This is followed by some detailed worked examples on plate girders to EC3. Students are introduced to moment connections to EC3 and composite design of beams and slabs in accordance with EC4. This is followed by plastic analysis and design of steel beams, rectangular and portal frames. This is followed by application of elastic and plastic design to multi-storey rigid frames, and distinction is made between sway frames and non-sway frames. Finally, students are introduced to a complete design of a single-storey building integrating the design of various members and frames together.
