Summary

Within the framework of the subject "Metal and Timber Structures", students will be acquainted with the problems of designing and assessment of load-bearing structures of residential, social, commercial and administration buildings. The acquired knowledge and skills will be applied by students in engineering practice, both in designing and assessing the reliability of building with metal or timber load-bearing structures, as well as in their realization, reconstructions and maintenance.
