Czech Transport Structure 2024 has its winners, and two awards are going to Brno University of Technology, specifically to the Faculty of Civil Engineering. In the student category, diploma theses focusing on bridge and railway structures succeeded, authored by graduates of Brno University of Technology. The awards confirm the quality of education, the talent of the students, and their passion for the field. Awarded in the Czech Transport Construction 2024 competition. | Author: Association of Construction Entrepreneurs The Rector's Award of BUT was given to Richard Řehulka for his diploma thesis entitled Cable-Supported Footbridge. The subject of the thesis was the design of a suspension footbridge over Bauerova Street in Brno. The footbridge structure consists of a suspension cable, on which an asymmetrical deck is suspended on one side. The asymmetry is balanced using a prestressing cable fixed to a plan-curved deck. The suspension cable is anchored to an inclined pylon that transfers the load into the foundation. Bridge crossing studies were conducted, on the basis of which the proposed structure was selected. Static, dynamic, and stability analyses were carried out. A software suitable for cable structures was used for modeling, and the outputs of the diploma thesis include not only the text part but also attachments such as technical drawings, visualizations, and structural calculations. After receiving the award, graduate Řehulka stated that he would like to continue focusing on designing bridges and other civil engineering structures. However, he is also interested in dealing with more complex legal cases related to construction and building permitting processes. Awarded from FCE Richard Řehulka. | Author: Association of Construction Entrepreneurs The Dean's Award of the Faculty of Civil Engineering was awarded to Filip Krobot for his diploma thesis entitled Design of the Nezamyslice - Otrokovice Link. The goal of this work was to develop a design for a new double-track railway link between Nezamyslice and Otrokovice for speeds of up to 250 km/h for passenger transport, at the feasibility study level. The proposal is developed in several variants. For each variant, both horizontal and vertical alignments are processed. A bill of quantities for the main structural components was compiled. The variants were subjected to multi-criteria analysis. For individual sections, investment costs were calculated, including the inclusion of risk factors according to the SPOŽES methodology. Czech Transport Structure is a nationwide competition with more than twenty years of tradition, which annually recognizes the most significant transport infrastructure projects as well as related technologies and major innovations in the field. The goal of the competition is to contribute to professional presentation and to recognize technical designs that emphasize not only innovation and technical sophistication but also economic and environmental parameters.
