Learning Outcomes

• Upon successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:
• Classify steel cross-sections.
• Calculate the load-bearing capacity of steel members in tension, compression, bending, and shear.
• Determine the load-bearing capacity of members subject to buckling.
• Use Eurocode 3 in the design of steel structures.
