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.). 10.
