Course detail

Metal structures

ÚSI-2BCKKAcad. year: 2015/2016

The course is focused on technical aspects of risks of metal structures while respecting the basic principles and hardware reliability. It concentrates on the modelling of metal structures (particularly verification and increase of the aptness of models or determination of the probability of failure). Further attention is paid to the design and operation of metal structures in terms of occurring potential technical risks, and their preventive treatment and control (maintenance and prevention of failures).

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will obtain specialized and professional knowledge and skills necessary to design and subsequent operation of metal structures, including possible technical risks, and preventive treatment and control.

Prerequisites

Not requested.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching is carried out through lectures and seminars. Lectures consist of interpretations of basic principles, methodology of given discipline, problems and their exemplary solutions. Seminars particularly support practical mastery of subject matter presented in lectures or assigned for individual study with the active participation of students.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Condition for granting credit is a semestral work - elaboration of a seminar work. The test will consist of a written part – answer the questions. Granting of credit is the condition of oral exam.
