Introduction
The subject includes design of beams, columns and composite bearing elements of timber and steel in ultimate limit state, serviceability limit state and accidental limit state. The item includes welding joints, fasteners as bolts, nails, screws and timber connectors. The course will provide an understanding of the load effects, material properties and use of information given in other standards.Tests of rupture and shear strength on simple wooden samples. The subject is based on BYPE1600 Mechanics and BYGG1100 Building Materials and Building Technology.

Course requirements
Individual written home exam, 3,0 hours including scanning and delivery.
The exam results can be appealed.
Assessment
Combined assessment and exam
Part 1 Assessment of practical training.
The assessment takes its point of departure in given criteria based on learning outcomes for the course, assessment criteria, the continuous assessment, the suitability assessment and compulsory activities carried throughout the practical training. Students’ practical training can only be assessed if their attendance is sufficiently high (90%). For more information, see the general part of the programme description about the assessment of practical training.
If the student has failed the practical training, the whole practical training course must be retaken. This includes associated requirements.
