Objectives

The students are able to design and verify crane runways according to European codes and standard. They have a basic knowledge and understanding of construction and design of steel structures against actions from earthquake and blast. The have a basic knowledge about the design of cylindrical steel shells.

Description

Design of crane runways made of steel. Basic knowledge about earthquake resistant design of steel structures, design of steel- and composite structures under blast action. Design of cylindrical steel tanks.

Prerequisites

Basic modules of the bachelor study line civil engineering.

Teaching and learning methods

Lecture using PowerPoint presentation and blackboard. A detailed example, design of a crane runway made of steel is presented as base information for the project work to be performed.

Examination

At the end of the semester it is determined in a written exam whether the basic knowledge on earthquake, explosion, cylindrical tanks and the calculation of crane runways have been understood. The full calculation of a crane runway is required in the context of a home work, and to consolidate the acquired theoretical knowledge. The grade of the exam is to the final grade of the module when the housework was recognized.
