Pro. Hugo Rieger from Nuremberg University of Applied Science gave a lecture about steel structures with the topic “ Statical Analysis from Beams with 3 possible methods in Accordance with Euro Code 3” on April 14th during his visit for selection. Pro. Hugo Rieger is specialized in the fields of buckling of steel plate, Bamboo material, design of steel and timber.
Euro codes (EC) which were introduced on July 1st, 2012 are the standards of civil engineers in European countries. They are divided into 10 different Parts (EC0 to EC9) and involve different fields, such as concrete design, constructions, steel design, timber design. Each EC is also divided into different parts, such as introduction, calculation, case of fire. EC 3 is related to the structural analysis of steel construction. It offers three different methods for calculation which are Elastic-elastic, elastic -plastic and plastic-plastic. Prof. Rieger explained the three methods on his lecture.
