Institute of Metal and Timber Structures (KDK)

Students acquire the needed information and knowledge of materials for steel and timber structures.
Students acquire knowledge required for design of timber structures, including practical exercises on examples.
Students acquire the necessary knowledge to design of joints and connections, including practical exercises on examples.
Students acquire knowledge of compositions of structures from timber material.
Students acquire practical knowledge skills for design of structural elements from timber and timber-based materials and their details.

Mathematics, structural mechanics, elasticity, design of elements of structures - basis, actions on structures.

Problems of standards for design of structures.

Interpretation, individual practice of problems (individual numerical examples) consultations. Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Attendance at seminars, development of individual examples and passing the exam test are the evaluation criteria for students.

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.
