Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be able to design shear connections for steel-concrete structures. They will acquire more in-depth knowledge and skills in the area of the design of steel-concrete compression members. They will be able to apply the rules for the design and the principles for the calculation of structures made from glued lamellar wood, including the design of assembly connections for wooden structures with metal elements. They will be able to design wooden structures with resistance to the effects of fire, including the design of connectors for wooden structures with resistance to the effects of fire.

Prerequisites

Metal structures - design of elements and connections of steel structures. Timber structures - design of elements and connections of timber structures. Concrete structures - bases of design of elements of concrete structures.

Co-requisites

Extension of knowledge of building mechanics; acquisition of knowledge regarding building fire safety.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures, practical classes and self-study assignments. Attendance at lectures is optional, but attendance at classes is compulsory.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

A precondition for successful completion of the subject is the finishing of tasks begun during practical lessons. Participation in practical classes is compulsory. The subject is concluded by a written examination.
