Supervisor:

Department of Construction Engineering I

Synopsis:

The aim of the course is to introduce students to other variants of horizontal structures, general principles of substructure, construction and materials of building foundations, including excavations with regard to the terrain.

The different types of roofing of buildings with flat and pitched roofs are discussed.

Students are introduced to the construction of timber buildings, their historical and modern approaches to design, including their impact on the architectural expression of the building.

Students are introduced to variations in the design of framed buildings.

Contemporary design options are discussed in terms of the materials used (reinforced concrete/ steel/ timber), their spatial rigidity, and the traditional material and product base for completing the building (envelope/ partitions/ roof cladding).

Basic information on buildings made of spatial units, high-rise buildings and „super-structures“.

The aim is to provide an understanding of the importance and principles of depicting and drawing individual structures at different stages of design documentation. The basic methods and approaches to structural design are then practically tested in exercises.

Requirements:

In order to be awarded credit, it is necessary to hand in the processed assignments in a hand-processed folder and the required attendance for the exercise must also be met.

The course concludes with a written test via the Moodle platform, which is written by all students in the course on the announced dates (with alternate dates for make-up tests). The second make-up dates are in the form of an individual oral examination to test knowledge.

Assessment criteria according to the CTU Examination Regulations.
