Students will acquire more in-depth knowledge and skills in the area of the determination of the load on a steel tower and the static and dynamic calculation of a tower. They will be acquainted with issues concerning the design of a steel tower with fatigue resistance. They will be able to determine the rotation stiffness and moment bearing capacity of a joint and carry out the numerical analysis of a joint in a steel structure.

Metal structures - design of elements and connections of steel structures. Structural Mechanics, Elasticity and Plasticity.

Extension of knowledge of structural mechanics and numerical mathematics; acquisition of knowledge of issues concerning the modelling of engineering structures.

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

A precondition for successful completion of the subject is the finishing of tasks begun during practical lessons. Participation in practical classes is compulsory. The subject is concluded by a written examination.

1. Steel towers – categorization, load.
2. Steel towers - static and dynamic analysis.
3. Fatigue strength.
4. Connections in steel construction system, Classification of semi rigid connection.
5. Rotation stiffness, moment carrying capacity, numerical analysis.
6. Thin-walled cold-formed structural members – basic design principles.
7. Local and distorsional buckling of thin-walled cold-formed structural members.
8. Thin-walled cold-formed structural members – load-carrying capacity and serviceability limit states.
9. Connections of thin-walled cold-formed structural members – mechanical and welded connections.
10. Thin-walled cold-formed structural members – examples of realized structures, practical design aspects.
