The assignment of my degree work was a proposal of two variants of the steel structure of a modern art exhibition hall. The ground plan dimensions of the structure are 52,5 x 24 m. The whole structure of the two variants is supported by two quadrilateral truss columns and the upper floor level is at a height of 8 m above the ground. The ceiling structure is set by the truss girders. The proposal of two alternative solutions and the assessment of the main structure support elements forms another part of the work. With a winning option then a solution of the selected details, working out of the detailed drawings of the solved joints and the creation of the workshop documentation of the selected parts is supposed.

Object of this master thesis is the static verification and variant desing of roof structure of winter sport stadium in Jihlava city. The ground plan dimensions are 60 x 84 m The current structure is composite of truss main girders with parabolic lower chords, and purlins. Axial distances of main girders are 12m. Concrete columns are a support to main girders. The variant desing of roof uses truss girders and truss purlins. They are supported on existing concrete columns. All load bearing members of existing and new design structure have been evaluated according to actual normative rules. The static assessment of the existing structure is not satisfied from viewpoint of ultimate and serviceability limit states (in some elements). The static assessment of the new structure is satisfied from the viewpoint of both limit states.

The thesis deals with the design and assessment of the steel structure of the roof of the train station. This structure is located in Brno. The plan shape of the structure is rectangular. In the transverse direction, the structure is designed as an arch of 150 m length and the distance of transverse ties is 20 m. At the highest point, the rise of the arch is 30 m. In the longitudinal direction, the structure is 200 m long. In this paper, three variants of the structure are compared.

The subject of this diploma thesis is desigh and assessment of steel structure industrial building. This hall has two bays. The width of the main bay is 30 metres, the width of the second bay is 15 metres. The length of building is 90 metres. Load-bearing system is created of three fixed columns with pin-supported truss beams between. Construction of roof is designed as truss purlin system. There is a bridge crane of 32 tons capacity.

Diploma thesis contains a design of steel load-bearing structure of a hangar placed in Brno-Medlánky. The ground dimensions are 40.0×44.0 m, the height of the building is 10.0 m. Two preliminary variants of the design solution were processed; main difference is the shape of the truss girder. Both variants were assessed for a combination of seventeen load cases. The comparison of the variants led to the selection of the final variant, which was assessed in detail. The girder truss in this variant is an arched truss, the height of the truss is 1.5 m, the individual elements are made of square hollow sections. A detailed static calculation was performed including the calculation of joints, drawing documentation and technical report. The main construction material is S235JR steel.

The subject of this thesis was to develop a conversion and a variant of the existing steel structure roofing ice rink in Třinec. The building has a rectangular plan on pages 90 m x 60 m, minimum headroom inside the building is given with regard to the requirements of operation. The roof structure is stored in steel and concrete columns around the perimeter at a distance of 7.5 m. Variant solution for the design of new steel roof structure was chosen arc grate. The design consists of 13 main arc lattice girders in the transverse direction for a distance of 7.5 m in the longitudinal direction of the structure consisting of planar lattice strips (girders) and purlins. All this is complemented by a reinforced system. Two dimensions are retained.

This thesis focuses on the field performance of IsoTruss®-reinforced concrete beam columns for use in driven piles. Experimental investigation included one instrumented carbon/epoxy IsoTruss®-reinforced concrete pile (IRC pile) and one instrumented steel-reinforced concrete pile (SRC pile) which were driven into a clay profile at a test site. These two piles, each 30 ft (9 m) in length and 14 in (36 cm) in diameter, were quasi-statically loaded laterally until failure. Behavior was predicted using three different methods: 1) a commercial finite difference-based computer program called Lpile; 2) a Winkler foundation model; and, 3) a simple analysis based on fundamental mechanics of materials principles. Both Lpile and Winkler foundation model predictions concluded that the IRC pile should hold approximately twice the load of the SRC pile. Applying mechanics of materials principles found the predicted stiffness of the piles to be consistent with the laboratory results. Due to unresolveable errors, experimental field test data for the SRC pile is inconclusive. However, analysis predictions in conjunction with field test data for the IRC pile show that the IRC pile should perform similar to predictions and laboratory test results. Therefore, IsoTruss® grid-structures are a suitable alternative to steel as reinforcement in driven piles.

This thesis investigates the effect of microstructural strengthening mechanisms on the overall mechanical performance of micro-truss periodic cellular metals (PCMs). Prior to the author’s work, the primary design considerations of micro-truss PCMs had been topological issues, i.e. the architectural arrangement of the load-supporting ligaments. Very little attention had been given to investigate the influence of microstructural effects within the cellular ligaments. Of the four broad categories of strengthening mechanisms in metals, only solute and second phase strengthening had previously been used in micro-trusses; the potential for strengthening micro-truss materials by work-hardening or grain size reduction had not been addressed. In order to utilize these strengthening mechanisms in micro-truss PCMs, two issues needed to be addressed. First, the deformation-forming method used to produce the micro-trusses was analyzed in order to map the fabrication-induced (in-situ) strain as well as the range of architectures that could be reached. Second, a new compression testing method was developed to simulate the properties of the micro-truss as part of a common functional form, i.e. as the core of a light-weight sandwich panel, and test the effectiveness of microstructural strengthening mechanisms without the influence of typical high-temperature sandwich panel joining processes, such as brazing. The first strengthening mechanism was achieved by controlling the distribution of plastic strain imparted to the micro-truss struts during fabrication. It was shown that this strain energy can lead to a factor of three increase in compressive strength without an associated weight penalty. An analytical model for the critical inelastic buckling stress of the micro-truss struts during uniaxial compression was developed in terms of the axial flow stress during stretch forming fabrication. The second mechanism was achieved by electrodeposition of a high-strength nanocrystalline metal sleeve around the cellular ligaments, producing new types of hybrid nanocrystalline cellular metals. It was shown that despite the added mass, the nanocrystalline sleeves could increase the weight-specific strength of micro-truss hybrids. An isostrain model was developed based on the theoretical behaviour of a nanocrystalline metal tube network in order to predict the compressive strength of the hybrid materials.
