SiCA: Steel in Construction Academy

SiCA is a self-learning online platform for those in, or joining, the construction industry focussed on the use of steel as the material of choice for construction applications and required performances.

Sustainable and circular construction, composite construction, steel performances, construction physics, applied stability, steel grades and qualities, and mechanical properties are just some of the topics covered in SiCA.

New lectures are being added regularly, and we will keep you updated!

New SiCA lecture: Iterative methods for solving stability problems

The newest lecture in our SiCA: Steel in Construction Academy presents and illustrates the application of methods which can be used to solve stability problems iteratively.

 

Published: 27 April 2023


Applied stability

This applied stability lecture introduces the reasons for using iterative methods to solve stability problems. The Vianello method is explored before moving on to the Newmark method, in which the calculation of internal forces and deflections in transversally loaded beams is reviewed as a preliminary step to the presentation of the Vianello-Newmark method. Read more in our newest SiCA lecture.
