221-0926 – Actions on Building Structures (ZSK)

After completing this subject, students will be able to understand and apply the following skills and topic areas: - principles of structural analysis with respect to the modeling of loads; - representation of loads using partial factors method; - permanent actions, imposed loads for buildings, snow and wind loads, thermal actions, actions induced by cranes and machinery actions during execution, accidental actions; - combination of actions.

1. Basis of structural design (principles of limit states design, basic variables, structural analysis). 2. Basis of structural design (partial factors method, combination of actions). 3. Self-weight, permanent actions, imposed loads for buildings. 4. Model example: reinforced concrete slab (modeling, analysis of actions, global analysis). 5. Model example: cantilever balcony beam (modeling, analysis of actions, global analysis). 6. Model example: stairs (modeling, analysis of actions, global analysis). 7. Snow load. 8. Wind load. 9. Example: Frame structure (analysis of actions, global analysis, combination of load effects). 10. Example: Timber duopitch roof (analysis of actions, global analysis, combination of load effects). 11. Thermal actions, actions during execution. 12. Actions induced by cranes and machinery. 13. Seismic actions. 14. Accidental actions (impact from vehicles, loads due to explosions).
