Project Work Structural Engineering - Civil Engineering
Component code / course code: (BB 6.11-1)
Semester: winter / summer
ECTS credits: 2
Lecture hours per week (SWS): 2
Lecturer: Prof. Dr.-Ing. Christian Kulas, Prof. Dr.-Ing. Daniel Rubin, Dipl.-Ing. Thorsten Meinhardt
Course language: English on demand
Prerequisite: Knowledge in steel construction, timber construction and structural construction
Objectives (Learning Outcome): The students work together within a team on a practical structural project. On an interdisciplinary way, the teams will apply their knowledge, which they gained in the lectures Steel Construction I, Structural Concrete I and Timber Construction I, on that project. In detail, the students are aware of the following points at the end of the term:
- Design of load-bearing systems.
- Deriving structural systems from architectural drawings.
- Design loads according to Eurocode 1.
- Load-combinations and determine internal forces on design level.
- Checking load-combinations and their results.
- Calculating internal forces and deformations with computer programs.
- Analysis of the building members in ultimate-limit state and serviceability-limit state.
- Interpretation of the results and design of building members.
- Arranging of a well-structured structural analysis.
Lecture topics (content):
- Developing concepts for load-bearing structures based on architectural design drawings.
- Load-assumptions and defining structural systems.
- Determine internal forces with computer programs (load-cases, load-combinations, result-combinations and checking results).
- Concepts and contents for the structural analysis.
Teaching format (e.g. online/in person lecture/Seminar/Lab etc.): Project study, corrections, presentations.
Examination: Project work
