Supervisor:

Department of Steel and Timber Structures

Synopsis:

Subject YHNK covers two parts: the first concerns design of structures from aluminium alloys, the second deals with stainless steel structures.

Structures of aluminium alloys: Introduction and practice in designing of aluminium structures.

Structures of stainless steel: Evolution of stainless steel materials/structures and examples of realized structures. Stainless steels suitable for structures are described in a detail, including their properties. Dissimilarities in assessments of members under common loadings with respect to low-carbon steels is described for both ultimate and serviceability limit states. In the end the possibilities concerning connections of stainless steel members, erection and installation of stainless steel members are described.

Requirements:

Passing of subject NNK.
