6. Specific skills accumulated
The student shall be familiar with steel and concrete structural systems for
buildings: columns, beams, floors, for single story (SS) and multi story (MS)
background, (What buildings;
need to know) The student shall be able to use /shall be familiar with design software’s for steel
and/or concrete structures.
Theoretical

Performing the lectures and applications students will be able:

 to set up composite structural solutions (steel and concrete) for columns,
Professional skills
Accumulated skills:

beams, floors, for single story (SS) and multi story (MS) buildings
(What will know)

 to perform rational and economic design of composite beams, composite floors,

composite columns,
 to design composite structures, using a number of available specific products,
being able to define list of materials, execution details,
 to manage and check the designed construction works

Performing the lectures and applications students will be able to handle:

(What kind of tools will
Accumulated abilities:

 design software’s for composite column, composite beam and composite floor
be able to handle )

assemblies,
 design software’s for complex structural applications which involves composite
structures,
 BIM modelling technology to prepare design documentation for composite
structures

To apply accumulated skills in order to improve the performance in team working,

Further skills

on site or in a design office;

To develop own and responsible strategy following the principles, codes and
professional ethics.

7. Course objectives (resulting from accumulated skills)

7.1 General objective Design of steel-concrete composite structures for SS
and MS structures for different applications
7.2 Specific goals 1. Set up of structural solutions for SS and MS
structures using composite columns, beams
and floors;
2. Quick and efficient design of composite
columns, composite beams and composite
floors;
3. To prepare design documentation for composite
structures;
4. To familiarize with existing composite
technologies provided by specific companies in
the construction market.
