Course abstract
Design of one-storey steel frame of industrial building is mastered taking into account moving load and dynamical effects. Specific of large span and multi-storey buildings, tool structures as well as thin shell structures is discussed undertaking actual working conditions, design problems and economics of structures.
Learning outcomes and their assessment
Knowledge about design of steel industrial buildings; skills to perform calculation and construction of steel frames and other complicated steel structures; competence to define design problem of steel structure, perform design and evaluate the acquired results.
