Institute of Metal and Timber Structures (KDK)

Student will obtain the general knowledge of the utilization of experimental methods and test results for the reliable design of civil engineering structures. Student will learn the philosophy of the design assisted by testing and its usage - evaluation of the design values of material properties, evaluation of the design resistance of structures. Student will in detail learn the structures of temporary bridges - overview of basic types of steel and timber temporary and mobile bridges and footbridges, practical examples. Student will obtain the knowledge of the failures and defects, reconstructions and repairs of metal and timber structures and bridges - basic overview, applications.

Design of steel and composite steel-concrete structures and bridges, design of timber structures, structural mechanics, basis of statistics and probability.

Extension of the knowledge in the field of the design of metal and timber structures and bridges. Extension of the knowledge of statistics and probability in relation to the problems of the reliability of steel and timber structures.

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