Institute of Metal and Timber Structures (KDK)

Students will acquire more in-depth knowledge and skills in the area of the determination of the load on a steel tower and the execution of static and dynamic calculations for the tower. They will be acquainted with issues concerning the design of a steel tower with fatigue resistance. They will be able to apply the principles involved in the design and construction of special wooden structures, including the design of new types of joint for wooden structures. Furthermore, they will acquire more detailed knowledge and skills in the area of the design of wooden shells, vaults and lamellar structures.

Rules for design of metal and timber structures, static action of bearing systems. Mechanics, Elasticity and Plasticity.

Extension of knowledge of structural mechanics and numerical mathematics; acquisition of knowledge related to 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.
