The new standard, EN 1993-1-14, covers both ultimate limit state (including fatigue) and service limit state, and gives rules and guidelines for the following key topics:
- Modelling (geometry, boundary conditions, loads, materials, imperfections)
- Analyses (everything from linear elastic analysis to analyses with geometric and material nonlinear effects, including imperfections)
- Methods for design
- Documentation
The course will be suitable for those who wish to gain insight into the new standard and for those who want to expand their FEA capabilities beyond linear elastic analyses and “hand calculations”. Participants will, for instance, learn how to determine the resistance directly from the analysis results, which can be useful when hand calculations become challenging. The course will not provide training in use of software. Furthermore, this is not a course in the theory of the finite element method, and participants are assumed to have some prior knowledge of the subject (however, a brief introduction/review will be provided).
