Steel and Timber Structures

Common to steel and timber structures: Cross sectional capacity, buckling, lateral bucling combined with torsion, bolted connections. Especially for steel: Material properties for steel, plastic cross sectional capacity, torsion, welded connections.Especially for timber structures: Nail-, dowel- and bolted connections, curved beams.
Design of structures which are exposed to fire.
