Institute of Metal and Timber Structures (KDK)

Student will learn and master basic principles a methods of design of the load bearing members of timber structures and also basis of design of selected structural systems as laminated structures, spatial trusses, ribbed domes, vaults and shells and timber bridges and footbridges, as well.
Further they will learn and manage the design techniques and procedures of the actual load bearing members and parts according to the standardized European documents.
Partial problems include the questions of material characteristics, dimensioning of connections, design of members under tension, bending, torsion and compression. The subject content includes also basis of reconstruction and rehabilitation of timber structures and examples of realized timber structural systems.
In general, the subject content will be focused to the questions of reliability and efficiency of the load bearing structures.

Strength and plasticity, section characteristics, design principles of structures and traffic constructions, loading of structural systems, building materials.

Mechanics of members and plated structures, numerical methods, computer aided design.

The course is taught through lectures, practical classes and self-study assignments. Attendance at lectures is optional, but attendance at classes is compulsory.

For the exercise credit: attendance at classes, submission of requested design examples of structural members and submission of the requested individual design project of roofing structure. For the subject exam: exercise credit, successful demonstration of knowledge at exam.
