Results of the elective course "Load-bearing structures for large spans"

In the winter semester 2023/24, the specialization "Load-bearing structures for large spans" took place, led by Stefan Peters, Andreas Trummer and Iveta Šarmanová. The main focus was on the independent design of load-bearing structures for medium to large spans. In particular, the design was worked out taking into account the force progression and stiffness distribution through to pre-dimensioning and detailed planning. The results of this in-depth study were presented on posters and documented in a comprehensive brochure, which provided an insight into the creativity and specialist knowledge of the participants. The students used 1:50 scale models made from a wide variety of materials to communicate their concepts. This in-depth study was an opportunity for the students to further develop their skills and knowledge in the context of structural design.
