DESIGN OF WELDED STRUCTURES

Lectures - Theoretical – DESIGN OF WELDED STRUCTURES

AT-1

Introduction. Introduction to the course objectives.

2 hours

The objectives of the course: following the completion of theoretical lectures on the design welded structures and participation in practical coursework (such as solving problems analytically and numerically, preparing seminary presentations, etc.), candidates become competent in the field of designing welded structures and acquire relevant academic skills. Furthermore, students are expected to develop creative abilities and master specific skills related to identifying and analysing the loads and the stress state within welded joints and structures.
