Learning outcomes of the course unit
Students will acquire more in-depth knowledge and skills in the area of the determination of the load on a steel tower and the static and dynamic calculation of a tower. They will be acquainted with issues concerning the design of a steel tower with fatigue resistance. They will be able to determine the rotation stiffness and moment bearing capacity of a joint and carry out the numerical analysis of a joint in a steel structure. Students will acquire more in-depth knowledge and skills in the area of the design of thin-walled cold-formed structures.
