Institute of Metal and Timber Structures (KDK)

Students will gain more in-depth knowledge and skills in the area of the design of anti-corrosion protection for steel structures. They will acquire knowledge and skills in the area of the preparation and performance of a selected type of loading test. They will be able to design the assembly of steel and timber structures. Furthermore, they will be able to carry out tests for the determination of material characteristics. They will gain more in-depth knowledge in the area of the design of maintenance plans for steel and timber structures.

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

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