Course content
Lectures: 1. Steel structures - history, advantages and disadvantages of steel structures, unique steel structures, examples of buildings with steel load-bearing structures 2. Steel structures - steel production, physical and mechanical properties of steel, types of structural steels 3. Steel structures - production and assembly of steel structures, principles of designing steel structures 4. Steel structures - principles of designing steel structures according to valid standards and regulations, limit states, loading of building structures 5. Steel structures - bars in tension, bars in compression, stability of bars, buckling, imperfections 6. Steel structures - beams in bending, buckling of beams, shear tress, combinations of stresses, cross-section classes, buckling of beam webs 7. Steel structures - joints of steel structures (riveted, screwed, welded) 8. Steel structures - protection of steel structures against corrosion and fire 9. Reinforced concrete structures - principles of designing reinforced concrete structures, examples of implementations 10. Stainless steel structures - physical and mechanical properties of stainless steel, principles of designing stainless steel structures, examples of implementations 11. Aluminium structures - physical and mechanical properties of aluminium, principles of designing aluminium structures, examples of implementations 12. Structures of glass and other building materials. Practice session: Students are introduced in detail to the design procedures of basic steel load-bearing elements. In the homework assignments, students practice: design and assessment of truss members, design and assessment of a full-web rolled I-section beam, and, for comparison, design and assessment of a full-web welded I-section beam. The design and assessment of a column of rolled cross-section HEB and the design of the connection of the floor beam to the column are also the subject of homework. The structural elements are assessed for ultimate limit state and serviceability limit state.

Learning outcomes
The scope of the lectures covers the basics of design of metal (steel, aluminum and stainless steel) load-bearing structures, design methodology according to applicable standards and determining the effects of loading. The following issues are discussed in the course: History of metal (iron, cast iron, steel) and metal structures. Advantages and disadvantages of steel structures and capabilities of steel material. Steel production, structure and properties of steel, types of steel. Production and assembling of steel structures. Design of steel structures and stages of project documentation. Introduction to design procedures and load determination according to the European standards. Design of elements of steel structures for basic cases of stress (tension, simple pressure, buckling pressure, bending, shear, torsion). Design of screw and welded joints. Stability of walls and thin-walled cold-formed elements. Protection of steel structures in terms of corrosion and fire. Composite reinforced concrete structures. Patinating and stainless steels. Design principles of structures made of stainless materials and aluminum alloys. Differences in the assessment of structures made of stainless steel compared to conventional low-alloy steel in terms of ultimate strength and serviceability. Basics of design of load-bearing structures made of glass. Glass production, mechanical properties and types of glass. Possibilities of using glass in architecture, including realized structures. The introduced to other (less traditional) types and kinds of materials used for building structures. Plastics (polycarbonate, acrylic, laminate, Teflon) as well as bamboo, straw and reed are mentioned.
The student will gain an overview of the properties, advantages and possibilities of using metal and other building materials for building structures. The students will learn the basic principles of designing metal structures. The students are able to perform the basic design of steel structural elements.
