Objective
The objective of the subject is to introduce students to the problems of this course and to practise acquired knowledge and skills.
Knowledge
Students have to manage the aim of the subject. They obtain more detailed knowledge about the problems of design metal and timber structures.
Syllabus
1. Metal structures of industrial buildings (disposition, configuration of structures, roof cladding, roof purlins).
2. Industrial steel buildings (roof girders, construction of crane track, columns, column foot and anchorage, space rigidity).
3. Multi-storey buildings with a steel framework (criteria of design, actions, parts of steel structures and their connections, space rigidity).
4. Metal bridges (parts of a bridge construction, bearings and shutters, mobile bridges, assembling of bridges).
5. Metal structures in hydraulic engineering (types of weir shutters, structure of shutters, lock chamber gates).
6. Special metal structures (tanks, stacks, silos, high diameter pipelines, towers and masts, structures of technical equipment).
7. Properties of the wood and wood-based materials (mechanical properties of timber material, basic design parameters, requirements of structure conditions).
8. Ultimate states of the timber structures, principles of their design.
9. Basic types of stress of members and parts of timber structures.
10. Connections in timber structures.
11. Plate timber girders, frames and arches.
12. Truss timber structures.
13. Spatial structures – cupolas, domes, shells and gables.
