Students will be able to explain standard solutions and basic design approaches for steel- composite construction and define the material-specific and execution-related requirements when designing a structure. They will design typical composite steel components in buildings (such as beams and columns) based on modern design concepts in accordance with current European standards. They will reflect on and compare the different possibilities for structural detailing and execution of composite components with those of pure steel or concrete structures. Through the worked out examples, they will develop an understanding of practical aspects and be able to identify relevant topics in detailing and implementation.
