Course Details
Metal and Structural Glass in Load-Bearing Structures of Buildings
Academic Year 2024/25
BOA017 course is part of 1 study plan
BPC-EVB Winter Semester 3rd year
The course is focused on basic principles of static behaviour, design and structural detailing of structural members and systems of multi-storey buildings, with the accent on the using of metals and structural glass in load-bearing structure. The part of the course is also knowledge of material properties of stainless steel, aluminium alloys and structural glass and their behaviour and application in load-bearing structure of buildings, basic cases of the behaviour, static and structural design and practical assessment of load-bearing structural members made of stainless steel, aluminium alloys and structural glass, including principles of the production and errection of the buildings with load-bearing structure made of metals and structural glass.

Syllabus
- 1. Contemporary trends in the development of multi-storey buildings with metal load-bearing structure (development of the forms, materials and their combinations, technologies). Examples of the realizations.
- 2. Development and perspectives of the using multi-storey buildings - traditional structural systems of multi-storey buildings, modern multi-storey buildings with the application of materials based on metals (not only usual "normal" steels, but also high-strength steels, aluminium and its alloys) and structural glass in load-bearing structure.
- 3. Structural systems of multi-storey buildings with steel and steel-concrete load-bearing structure. Spatial rigidity, bracings and stiffening systems.
- 4. Roof structures of multi-storey buildings. Roof claddings made of metals and structural glass.
- 5. Load-bearing ceiling and floor structures of multi-storey buildings. Utilization of castellated beams and their design. Steel-concrete composite ceiling and floor structures.
- 6. Structures of facades and wall claddings of multi-storey buildings. Facades and wall claddings made of metals and structural glass.
- 7. Columns of multi-storey buildings, column bases and anchorage.
- 8. Structural glass in load-bearing structures of multi-storey buildings - glass as a material (physical and mechanical properties of glass, surface treatments), glass types (float glass, tempered glass - hardened, chemically treated glass, laminated and safety glass), experimental verification of glass properties.
- 9. Design of compression and bending structural glass load-bearing members, including stability lost (compression buckling, lateral-torsional buckling), and their application in load-bearing structures of multi-storey buildings - columns, beams, stiffening ribs of fasades and load-bearing claddings made of structural glass, hybrid beams composed of structural glass in combination with other materials (metal, timber, etc.).
