Master´s thesis deals with design of a three floor budilding of support areas for ice-hockey stadium. Specificaly they are changing rooms, snack bar and toilets, fitness center with wellness and administration premises.

This thesis project is dealing with the phenomenon of brownfields, which nowadays are a part of every city. For the site at Brno - Ponava the proposal suggests TEMPORARY USE as one of the possible strategic approaches for handling this issue and introduces a process-oriented urban development strategy. The main theme of the design is called ZERO URBANISM. The goal is that with a minimal investment, short construction time and fulfillment of overall principals of sustainability, it is possible to change the former football stadium into a platform for social life. With cooperation from the public and the city this can become a place with various activities and have the potential for economic growth. The expected effect is that the site becomes a CATALYST and INCUBATOR for future development of the undervalued neighborhood, having a cultural and economic impact on the site as well as within the surrounding city context.

For this final paper, I chose a rather serious topic that is very topical in our society. Hazardous chemical substance ? ammonia ? is used very widely at present. Ammonia is used as a coolant in various plants. I have compiled a list of all plants in South Bohemia that work with ammonia, including ice rinks. I characterized the properties of ammonia, what damage it causes to the human organism and the environment. I noted a list of accidents during which there have been ammonia leakages of ammonia and I analyzed one accident using a software programme called TerEx. I chose the building of the ice rink in České Budějovice for my research. The objective was to determine the amount of ammonia and to simulate, using the TerEx software programme, an accident with a potential ammonia leakage from the ice rink. I also listed all the activities of the individual components of the Integrated Rescue System, which would help during such an accident, as well as urgent and follow-up measures that would be used. Having assessed the results I came to the conclusion that ammonia leakage from the ice rink would have serious impacts on the residents of České Budějovice. Finally I explained what the terms of evacuation and individual protection mean for the people lining around the ice rink.

The amount of ammonia used for cooling stadiums is usually lower than the limits stated in annex to the Act about prevention of fatal accidents caused by dangerous chemical substances, and for this reason the stadiums aren't subject to such strict security procedures determined by the law. However, these are places where big amounts of people can gather in a certain moment, thus in case of accident and ammonia leak, the health condition of many people could be threatened, given the fact that some of them don't even realise how to behave in such a situation. In the introduction of my thesis I focused my attention on the issues of extraordinary events, dangerous substances and products, on the legislation concerning the sphere of chemical substances and protection of population and accidents associated with the spills of dangerous substances. My work also contains the characteristics and description of ammonia and computer programmes used for modelling of consequences of accidents associated with spills of dangerous chemical substances. In the practical part of my thesis I simulated an accident with ammonia leak from Winter Stadium Kotlina in Havlíčkův Brod using the programming tool TerEx and from the results that I obtained I suggested a ?emergency action plan" targeting the analysis of eventual evacuation of pupils and pedagogical staff from the neighbouring primary schools. I used interviews with headmasters of primary schools for the purposes of this analysis. Furthermore, I analysed the population's level of awareness and knowledge of the problem (people living in the area of simulated zone of danger) and pedagogical staff from the neighbouring primary schools in the issues of correct practice in case of ammonia leak from the winter stadium. A part of thesis is a leaflet warning processed and an information poster intended for the population living in Havlíčkův Brod about correct practice in case of release of hazardous chemicals.

The subject of this thesis is the architectural study of a sports center in Brno Lužánky focusing on the football stadium for 18,000 spectators. The equipement of the stadium falls into category 3 and it has some equipements of Elite category. The stadium is one of the objects of the recreational sports center za Lužánkami. The solution is based on the idea to link the life in the surrounding park and the life in football stadium. This is achieved through non-closed facade, that is formed by rods and a wire mesh. Ground plan is based on the football field and the requirements for visibility curve. The primary load-bearing structure is reinforced concrete skeleton frame, the stadium is covered by a steel truss. The upper part is lined with grandstandstitanium zinc plates which gently reflects the surrounding area and support the main idea.

The diploma thesis The Sports & Relaxation Center Vsetín, Ohrada deals with an area surrounding former spartakiad stadium. This area is defined by the Vsetínská Bečva from the north-west, a limited-access road from the north-east and by waterworks from the south. That is how it creates notional triangle on the south outskirts of the town of Vsetín. The project aims to motivate people to spend more time doing sports activities in a beautiful environment located near the Bečva river and so offer them healthier possibility compared to time spend in shopping centers or block of flats. Since the environs of the area are extensively varied, we can’t follow current street network. So, I decided to create centralized urban concept and imaginary turn back to the town with a wall, which separates quiet pedestrian zones of the sports complex from everyday city rush and opens the view of the river, nearby wooded hills and meadows. Thanks to the aforementioned wall we will also have a use for the soil from the stands of the existing stadium. As we talk about area seemingly laying behind the built-up urban boundary, the landscape is more important than the urban structure, and the individual buildings are located outside the viewpoints, making them only supplementary elements to the ever-present greenery. The composition of the buildings consists of a central atypical hall and two type commercial buildings on the sides, where there are individual sports facilities and multipurpose grass areas between them.

The topic of this diploma thesis is the architectural study of the cycling arena – velodrome – as a part of The Hněvkovský sports ground in Brno-Komárov. The new velodrome is situated next to the existing bicycle motocross ground and serves as a facility for the track cycling, indoor cycling and BMX. The core of the velodrome consists of the 250-meter wooden steeply banked track, which, together with other sports ground’s parameters fits the requirements of International Cyling Uninon for hosting international competitions. Cycling arena includes premises for athletes, spectators (stands are designed for 2700 spectators) and Favorit Brno administration and also bicycle storage and service areas. Facility includes also gym, fitness room, wellness and physiotherapy, athletes‘ accomodation. The velodrome is roofed with the arch-formed membrane anchored to a robust bond beam, that is brought to the ground in the front part of the building. This V-shaped bond beam together with the arched membrane geometry defines the building dynamic expression.

The subject of this master thesis is architectural study of sport center in Brno focused on football stadium for 17,500 spectators. Standard of Stadium comes on category 3 of UEFA, with some elements of the standard Elite category. It is a complex study on the possible development of the site as a sports and relaxation area with a primary sport function in the park. The architectural expression and volume solution of stadium is mainly based on the morphology of sports buildings, form follows function. The organic concept is clearly defined roofing mass on elliptic floor plan which mainly response to layout of the auditorium mainly in horizontal and vertical direction. Enabling quality of vision on the pitch is the basic idea of the concept. The construction follows the morphology of the terrain and longitudinal axis is oriented in a north-south direction with the main tribune to the west. The primary load-bearing structure is frame-storey reinforced concrete frame, covered steel truss construction jacketed with titan-zinc hexagonal templates.

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 doctoral thesis deals with suspension cable roof structures above a circular and elliptical plan. The methodology of analysis is based on a basic annular cable roof structure of an external diameter of 70 m. The roof structure is designed as a prestressed membrane from the precast panels made from lightweight structural concrete which are supported with the bearing and prestressing tendons that are radially led between the two peripheral rings. The structural arrangement and the process of construction are described. The static system is specified and the terms like self-anchored system or equilibrium state are also defined. Finally, the results of static analysis are discussed in detail. The main aim of the doctoral thesis is to design a roofing of football stadium terraces using the structures of a basic annular cable roof; and present two alternatives – above circular and elliptical plan. The circular alternative comes directly from basic annulus, only the main dimensions of the new-designed structure are correspondingly extended. The elliptical alternative is an alteration of the circular design. As the radial tendons are anchored to the flexible peripheral curved girders, and the structures form the self-anchored system, the horizontal tendon forces load the peripheral girders radially. Because of that, it is essential to design a state of stress in tendon to prevent the undesirable global bending moments on the peripheral girders, and subsequently large non-uniform horizontal and vertical displacements of structure. Therefore, a study of the optimal load of ellipse is carried out. On the basis of the study, two basic requirements to structural arrangement of the elliptical roof are formulated. To illustrate the importance of a correct design, the optimal and unsuitable structural arrangements are compared. Finally, the results of static analysis of the circular and elliptical roof are again discussed in detail.
