Institute of Metal and Timber Structures (KDK)

Students acquire the needed information and knowledge of materials for steel and timber structures in water engineering.
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 in water engineering from steel and timber material.
Students acquire practical knowledge skills for design of structural elements from steel and timber material and their details.

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

Problems of standards for design of structures, structures in water engineering.

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 building (disposition, configuration of structures, roof cladding, roof purlins).
2. Industrial steel building (girders, construction of the crane track, columns, column foot and anchorage, space rigidity).
3. Multi-storey buildings with a steel structure (criteria of design, actions, parts of steel structures and their connections, space rigidity).
4. Metal bridges (parts of the bridge construction, bearings and shutters, mobile bridges, assembly of bridges).
5. Metal structures of the hydraulic engineering (types of weir shutters, structure of the shutters, gates of lock chambers).
6. Special metal structures (tanks, stacks, silos, high diameter pipelines, towers and masts, structures of the technological equipment).
7. Properties of the wood and wood-based materials, basic design parameters, requirement of the structure condition).
8. Ultimate states of the timber structure, principles of their design).
9. Basic types of stress of members and parts of timber structures.
10. Joints in the timber structures.
11. Plate timber girders, frames and arches.
12. Truss timber structures.
13. Space structures – cupolas, domes, shells and gables.
