Structural Mechanics and Steel Design 

Modern computers allow the analysis of structures with complex geometries and material behavior. However, a correct and optimal use of commercial programs or coding new software based on numerical methods such as the finite-element method (FEM) requires competent users and developers with a thorough understanding of the theory and its limitations. This package aims at providing the knowledge, skills and competencies necessary to choose sound modelling strategies, create models, verify their accuracy and test their computational efficiency with focus on the FEM applied to static analyses of structures. Further, the package provides the knowledge necessary to analyse and design steel structures with particular focus on the inherent advantages and limitations of steel as a structural material.

​Prerequisites: The students are required to have a bachelor degree in civil engineering with a specialization in structural engineering.

• Design of Analysis og Steel Structures - 5 ECTS
• Finite Element Analysis of Structures - 10 ECTS

You may maximum attend 10 ECTS of bachelor level-courses during your master education. A bachelor level-course is typically to be used for entirely new topics, i.e. topics outside your bachelor education, to ensure a sufficient level for attending master level-courses subsequently. 

The R&D project is an independent, research-based work. The project can either be carried out in a research group at the university or in collaboration with an industrial partner. A project can be of 5, 10, 15 or 20 ECTS. In total, maximum 20 ECTS.
