The aim is to understand basic principals of design of buildings made of different structural materials: steel, timber and concrete at normal temperature and for the fire situation using analytical approach.  A basic of background information on Eurocode design models will be provided. Design verification at the room temperature and in fire situation of structural resistance in tension, compression, bending and shear will be presented with number of design examples. Best practice details for buildings made of different materials will be shown.

The lectures cover the fire design of buildings. Various construction materials and a background to fire safe solutions will be discussed and a number of illustrative examples will be discussed. Assignments will be focused on an economical fire design of buildings made of concrete, wood or steel. Presentation of variousbest-practice construction details will be discussed.

Lectures, exercises, assignments (computer assignment and/or lab exercises). Lectures and consultations forassignments.

Oral exam with differentiated grades. To get the final grade all assignments should be approved.
