Professional Focus

• The activities of the institute are mainly focused on education and research in the field of steel, wood, but also steel-concrete and other composite structures, as well as structural glass elements.
• In the field of pedagogy, our lecturers try to bring to the students, besides knowledge in the field, their own experience from national and international activities and scientific work.
• An important part of the scientific research activities of the Department of Metal and Wood Structures is the development and use of methods of experimental testing of load-bearing structures. Depending on the type of test, we also cooperate with other partner departments of the faculty.
• We carry out professional reviews and expertise of load-bearing building structures, mainly made of steel, wood, composites and structural glass.
• We provide design support for proposed structures and recalculations of realized structures.
• We perform experimental verification of the actual performance of elements, members and structural systems.
• We provide verification of theoretical analysis and idealized calculation of elements, details and load bearing systems through load testing.
