General aim
The aim of the course is to give students the basic knowledge of designing simpler timber- and steel structures and skills for the use of the respective standard documents.
Aim
The student:
1. is able to use standard documents related to timber and steel structures;
2. knows how to evaluate the resistance of cross-sections, buckling resistance and deformation of simple timber- and steel structures based on calculations;
3. knows the most common joints and connections of and knows how to construct simple timber and steel structures;
4. knows the methods of ensuring fire and biological safety for timber and fire and corrosion safety for steel structures.
