Subject aims expressed by acquired skills and competences

The aim of this course is to develop the knowledge and skills in the area of design and reliability assessment of one-, two- and three-dimensional structures of transport constructions, engineering structures and industrial buildings under thermal effects. Student has to obtain and prove an adequate general overview of solved problems. Student also has to work out the individual project related to the scope of the thesis.
