Light Metal Structures

This course presents the Design of Steel Structures with members made from cold-formed cross-sections. The main objective is the determination of the effective cross-section based on the EC 3, Part of 1.3 as well as the resistances of cold-formed members under various loading conditions. Also, there are calculated the resistances of steel sheets and connections between members, the diaphragmatic operation of roofs made from cold-formed sheets as well as suitable means of connections according to the provisions of EC 3 - Part 1.3.
