Abstract
These lecture notes on steel structures are intended for second-year civil engineering
students in engineering programs, as well as third-year civil engineering students in
the LMD (License-Master-Doctorate) system.
The lecture notes on steel structures provides an in-depth introduction to the
fundamental principles of metallic framework construction according to Eurocode 3
and CCM97. It begins with essential safety concepts, emphasizing the importance of
personal protective equipment, risk prevention, and site safety regulations. The course
then explores the main types of structural connections, such as bolted and welded
joints, highlighting their design, advantages, and applications. Students also learn to
perform calculations for components under simple tension, using fundamental
formulas to ensure structural integrity. Finally, the course covers the analysis and
design of flexural members (bent elements), focusing on determining internal stresses
and deflections according to recognized engineering standards. This comprehensive
training equips students with the knowledge required to design safe and efficient steel
structures.
