Industry CPD: Design of solar panel mounting structures made of cold-formed steel

The executive summary from a 2018 Research Award-winning project. The project worked to experimentally explore and numerically describe the ductile behaviour of hollow steel sections in cyclical loading in the inelastic range.

This CPD module, sponsored by SCIA, examines the analysis and design of steel-and-concrete composite columns.

This CPD module, sponsored by IDEA StatiCa UK, introduces CBFEM, a method to analyse and design connections of steel structures, which is a synergy of the standard approach to connection design (component method) and finite elements.
