An investigation of IsoTruss structures in bending and torsion was conducted. A model was developed in ANSYS APDL where bay length and longitudinal member to helical member cross-sectional area ratio could be varied while holding the diameter constant. The model was validated using previously reported values from analytical models and empirical data. The model was used to make predictions of a specific geometry that was manufactured, tested and compared against the model. 12 specimens were built and tested. In flexure, empirical data had a percent error with respect to the model ranging from 10.9 to 65.4% with one outlier at 94.1%. In torsion, the empirical data had a percent error with respect to the model ranging from 0.4 to 34%. The test data exhibited similar trends compared to the model. An IsoTruss structure built to maximize torsional rigidity should have a diameter and bay length such that its helical angle is between 55 and 60 degrees. The inclusion of longitudinal members has a negligible impact on rigidity. Flexural rigidity is maximized with longitudinal members and with a minimal helical angle, placing helical members more in the direction of the longitudinal members. In order to minimize flexural rigidity, the longitudinal members should be removed from the design and the helical member angle should be maximized up to 80 degrees.

This diploma thesis deals with design of a robotized workplace for welding truss structures. First, the target construction that the work focuses on is shown. Then the functions of the entire workplace are designed, including the procedures for activities and the gross displacement of the used components and their layout. The next chapter itemize specific robots and components. This, along with the solution of safety and ergonomics, makes the layout of the entire workplace more precise. Everything is completed by creating a simulation model in Siemens Tecnomatix Process Simulate, where all the welding operations are simulated.

The scope of the Master's thesis is the design, evaluation and the comparison of two variations of the solution for steel load-bearing structure which is a part of a gokart areal with adjacent refreshments. The construction is composed of three structurally dependent objects. For the first construction object, there were solved the variants with a truss and a frame structure. The construction has an irregular plan. The object plan dimensions are 75 x 45 m. The built up area covers 2450 m2. The construction reaches the height of 13,2 m. The thesis contains the design of dimensions, structural analysis and the evaluation of structural members. The calculation of internal forces was made by SCIA Engineer 16.1.62 software. Attached to the thesis is the drawing documentation.

The subject of diploma thesis is design and static assessment of steel structure of multipurpose hall. Construction is located in the city Brno. The floor plan is rectangular with dimensions 60 x 80 m. Headroom of the structure is 12,5 m and total height is 16,5 m. A main frame is created of arch truss supported by column and truss structure on both sides. The main frames are joined by purlins. Final support structure was selected from two preliminary variants. For the selected variant was made static calculation of main bearing elements including joints and anchoring, technical report, drawings and bill of quantities.

The subject of this thesis was to design and assess the load-bearing structure of the grandstand roof at the sports stadium. The ground plan dimensions are 35x70 m. The object will be located in Moravské Budějovice. The construction is made of grade steel S355 and steel fasteners. Assessments were created for 2 variants. Variant A with truss, Variant B with plate girder. The truss variant, which is elaborated in more detail, was evaluated as more advantageous.

This thesis discusses how to test the mechanical properties of openlattice truss structures and hybrids being a tube containing a latticetruss structure. By properties we mean strength, stiffness, thermalconductivity and so forth.Mechanical testing was done on two different structures to betterunderstand how the load-bearing properties change when these structuresare subjected to tensile, compressive and bending forces. The structuresinvestigated were Diamond and Octagon built at 45° and 90°. Acousticemission was also used to evaluate and analyze the different behaviour ofthe structures. The test results were used to produce design criteria forproperties in different cell structures manufactured of Hastelloy X™. Amap with design criteria containing stiffness and weight per cubiccentimetre was produced for parts that would be subjected to compressiveforces.

This master´s thesis solves design of a mobile crane for handling air aggregates and ejection seats. Handling crane provides lifting a maximum weight of 300 kg to a height of 4600 mm. Subject of the work is the choice of appropriate technical solutions, design of lifting mechanisms, supporting structures and accessories. The suitability of the solution is checked by strength analysis of individual units. Another task is to provide mobility equipment and control stability against overturning. The appendix includes protocols static analysis of the program Nexis32, drawing overall crane assembly and manufacturing drawings selected parts.

The master thesis focuses on the design of a Load-carrying steel structure of railway bridge with bottom steel deck of the span of 28 + 45 + 23 m. The bridge is situated in the municipality of Třebestovice. Four variants of solution have been calculated. Two variants are made by plate main beams of variable profile, the next alternative was made by truss structure and the fourth variant consist of a combination of plate main beams with truss stiffener in the middle span. The most optimal solution was processed in detail. The calculations were done in compliance with valid ČSN EN norms.

The aim of this thesis is to create a design of a grandstand steel roof structure with ground plan dimensions of 15 x 116 m in Frýdek-Místek. The roof size must meet all the required dimensions, so that the comfort of sitting spectators is not disturbed. The transverse connection is FORMED by trusses, which are hinged on columns. The spacing between inner connections is 12 m and 10 m between outer connections. The columns are interlocked in the base. The rigidity is secured by a system of brace rods and truss purlins. The steel columns are composed of rolled profiles designed according to ČSN EN standards. The structure consists of steel S355, some parts are then made from S235 or S460 (ordinary steel).
