Project: Detailed fatigue assessment of a steel bridge deck system using test data and monitoring measurements (Results)
The course trains PhD students in the field of application of advanced computational design techniques in the civil engineering design. In the course several advanced design methods will be presented, which are partly supported by computer simulations and on-site measurements or laboratory tests. The students after the course shall be able to apply advanced design methods, to evaluate large measurement databases and apply them in the design praxis. Additionally, the participating students will be encouraged to increase their personal competencies and transversal skills.
The project will discuss the currently newest simulation techniques applicable in the detailed design of civil engineering structures, which are not commonly used in the daily praxis. Students will be trained in and discuss:
Students should have prior knowledge in structural design of steel and reinforced concrete structures, design of bridges or equivalent courses. Students should be familiar to the Eurocode based design of civil engineering structures, to the basics of structural design and to the basics of finite element method.
Mandatory english language knowledge requirement is Basic user A2 level.
Upon completion of this course the participant will be able to:
ECTS points: 2,0
Format (Lectures & Exercises): 30+8
