Department

Institute of Metal and Timber Structures (KDK)

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will acquire more in-depth knowledge and skills in the area of the construction of a geometrical model of a structure, including the application of load. They will be able to model boundary conditions and determine buckling lengths. Furthermore, they will be able to carry out an analysis of a structure, including the evaluation of individual elements.

Prerequisites

Metal structures - design of elements and connections of steel structures. Timber structures - design of elements and connections of timber structures. Concrete structures - bases of design of elements of concrete structures.

Co-requisites

Extension of knowledge of structural mechanics and steel, wooden and concrete building structures.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

A precondition for successful completion of the subject is the submission of an assignment to produce a numerical model of a steel structure. Participation in practical classes is compulsory. The subject is concluded by an electronic examination involving the creation of a numerical model of a given structure.

Course curriculum

1. Introduction, the view of the program’s systems.
2. Co-ordinate systems, convention of the internal forces.
3. Material properties, types of the members, characteristics of the cross-section.
4. Geometry of the structure : plain systems, spatial systems.
5. Constrains : supporting of the structure, cooperation of the members.
6. Load: types of the load,the load in accordance with ULS, combination of load state.
7. The analysis of the structure : linear solution of the stress and strain.
8. The stability. The buckling length of the press and bending bar.
9. Judgement of the members in accordance with the CSN, EC.
10. Simple cases of the structure nelinearity : absence of the bars, absence of the supports.

Work placements

Not applicable.

Aims

The objective of the subject is to introduce students to the problems of this course and to practise acquires knowledge and skills.
