The objective of the course is to introduce the students to the structural behaviour and design of plated steel structure. The course covers topics on the theoretical background of structural stability, buckling and post-buckling performance, existing codified design approaches and advanced design approaches in pertinent literature. Emphasis is placed on the link between basic theory and structural behaviour and design. It builds on the foundation of steel structural design and structural analysis covered in undergraduate level courses.

1. Evaluate buckling and post-buckling behaviour of plates by applying small and large deflection theories, and derive the stability limits for plates under in-plane and lateral loading conditions;2. Assess the effect of imperfections by performing modelling for plates and reflect critically on the limits of theory based on research (experimental and numerical) data;3. Design plate girders with and without stiffeners by determining the ultimate shear capacity on derived from the current local and international design codes;4. Apply the advanced design methods (CUFSM) and review and justify the accuracy of the design codes based on the derived data.
