Course Overview
- Duration: 24 Hours
Timber Structural design.
Junior Level
This program provides a fundamental introduction to the design of steel structures, focusing on understanding structural systems, load paths, and basic modeling. Participants will work on a practical project where they model a steel building and explain structural behavior and element interaction.
Target Group
- Students and recent graduates
- Junior engineers
- Professionals transitioning into structural
Practical Project
-
Participants will develop a basic timber building model and deliver:
3D structural model, and description of structural syste
Learning Content
- Basic load understanding (dead load, live load, wind, snow)
- Understanding timber elements (beams, columns, walls, floors, connections)
- Load transfer and structural behavior
- Introduction to timber construction methods (CLT, glulam basics)
- Introduction to drawings and documentation
Learning Outcome
- By the end of the course, participants will be able to:
- Understand how timber structures behave
- Identify key structural elements and their roles
- Model a basic timber structure
- Understand load transfer mechanisms
- Present a structural concept in a basic technical report
