Load-bearing structures I.
FAST-AL01Acad. year: 2011/2012
Types of load-bearing structures. The principles and rules of design. Stress and its effect. Properties of the material for concrete structures.
The principles of design of reinforced concrete members stressed by the bending moment, normal, force, shearing force and by torsion.
Essential types of the members - slabs, frames, girders, lintels. Stairs.
The priciples of design of the members from plain concrete.
Introduction to the problems of design and realisation of steel load-bearing structures. Advantages and disadvantages of steel structures, the state and prospects of the specialisation.
Material and assortment of structural members.
The principles and rules of steel structures reliability, method of limit states. Probabilistic methods of the steel structures design.
Joints of the steel structures - the principles of design and structural solution (screwed, friction and welded joints).
Tension frames. Bend of beams. Stability and buckling load-bearing capacity of compressed frames both of compact and composite section. Beams tilting. Load-bearing capacity of slender walls.
