221-0307 – Selected Topics from Steel and Timber Structures (KDK II)

After completing this subject, students will be able to understand and apply the following skills and topic areas: - selected topic areas from metal structures (crane tracks, design of joints, fatigue and brittle fracture of steel structures, stainless steels, class 4 cross sections, steel members exposed to torsion, three-dimensional buckling of steel members); - selected topic areas from timber structures (composite timber and concrete structures, timber bridges and footbridges, fatigue and brittle fracture of timber structures, strengthening of timber structures, defects and failures of timber structures).

Within the framework of the subject "Selected Topics from Steel and Timber Structures", students will be acquainted with selected advanced themes in the design of steel, glass and timber structures. The acquired knowledge and skills can be applied in engineering practice in solving complex structural problems in the field of structural statics and dynamics.
