Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After passing the course the student will be able to:
- give an account of basic terminology and definitions for strength and dimensioning of welds
- describe differences in strength and performance of different materials under loads, both static and dynamic
- explain important concepts, such as structural design, centre of gravity, centre of twist, utilization rate and safety factors
- identify critical areas with high loads in a welded structure and the necessary improvement actions
- account for and calculate the strength of welded joints and welded structures and describe dimensioning methodologies
- describe the impact of factors such as temperature, load cases and corrosive environments on the structural strength of a welded structure
- explain common welding symbols and how these are used in engineering drawings

Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
