Learning outcomes
The aim of the course is to familiarize students with the possibilities of using metallic materials for load-bearing structures of buildings. Emphasis is placed in particular on the methodology of designing steel structures according to valid European standards and on determining the effects of loads. Students are introduced to the design of steel structure elements for basic stress cases (tension, simple compression, buckling, bending and shear). The course also introduces steel production, the structure and properties of steel, types of structural steels and the design of bolted and welded joints of steel structures. Important topics are also methods of protecting steel structures against the effects of corrosion and fire.
1. Student works independently with professional standards and literature in the field of designing metal structures. 2. Student responsible and systematically applies knowledge from the field of material properties, production processes and requirements for structural safety. 3. Student can consult technical solutions in a team of designers and propose their optimization. 4. Student considers the structural design in the context of durability, sustainability and safety. 5. Student presents the technical solution and its justification to professional and lay partners.
