EG502W: DESIGN OF CONNECTIONS (AUDIT) (2017-2018)

Last modified: 28 Feb 2018 12:29


Course Overview

The purpose of this course is to explain the behaviour of steelwork connections and how this is translated into a wide range of design tools.

The fundamental concept is one of force paths, and how this applies to a wide range of different types of connections  is the key feature of this course.

The course is assessed by four coursework assignments.  Although the first two are standard designs, the third and fourth assignment are both for a very non-standard detail which requires fundamental thinking about connection behaviour, and about the practical constraints that need to be accommodated
