Metal Structures in Building Construction Course code: MKUV | 7 ECTS credits

Basic information
Level of Studies: Undergraduate applied studies
Year of Study: 1
Semester: 1
Requirements:
Goal: Course objective for students is to get acquainted with the calculation and construction of halls and multi - storey buildings, as well as with the basics of calculation and construction of steel structures of cold-formed profiles and structures of aluminium alloys.
Outcome: Students will be able to solve and calculate the elements of the construction of halls and multi-storey buildings. Students will be able to analyse, calculate and interpret optimal solutions in the field of such structures, create models for identified problems, use software tools that support calculation methods, present the application of methods on the example of the selected problem and apply valid standards for calculation of elements of these structures, and for the calculation and construction of connections between structural elements.
Contents of the course
Theoretical instruction:
  1. Application of metal structures in buildings. Loads in buildings. Basics of designing and making a general layout of the hall. Selection of roofing and facade cladding. Corneal design. Coupling and stiffening design. Crane girder design. Design of main girders of single-nave and multi-nave halls. Design of load-bearing elements of extensive hall walls. Lighting, ventilation, heating, ventilation, front door, equipment. Shed hall. Basic principles of designing and making the general disposition of two-storey buildings. Horizontal load-bearing structure of two-storey buildings. Vertical load-bearing structure of two-storey buildings. Systems for ensuring the spatial rigidity of two-storey buildings. Principles of constructive design of elements and connections in multi-storey buildings (floor slab, floor girders, underlays, pillars, couplings, hangers).
  2. Application of cold-formed profiles and sheets in buildings. Basic properties. Production and range of products obtained by cold forming. Influence of cold forming on mechanical properties of materials. Types of steel for cold forming. Effective width of non-stiffened and stiffened parts and cross-sections (legs and ribs). Couplings for cold-formed profiles.
  3. Application of aluminium alloy structures in construction. Production and types of products. Mechanical properties of aluminium alloys. Specifics of construction and joining of structural elements made of aluminium alloys.
Practical instruction (Problem solving sessions/Lab work/Practical training):
  1. Content from theoretical classes translated into practical application through exercises.
