Short description:
the aim of the project was to initiate and promote the flow of innovative knowledge among engineers from various European countries in their native languages, in particular in the field of design methodology for partially protected composite ceiling systems.
The tasks of the Polish side included translating training materials and software interface, preparing, organizing and conducting a seminar during which information was provided on the design of composite floor systems using unprotected secondary steel beams.
