Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will be able to do standard designs of sanitary and storm water drainage systems, water supply systems and gas installations having in mind layout and construction of buildings. Further they will be able to design service pipes for these installations. Students gains knowledge for sizing of drainage system, water system, gas systems and service pipes with the ability of preparing relevant technical drawings.Students will be able to use this knowledge for complex problems solution of water management and water structures.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge about constructional systems of buildings, foundation, vertical, horizontal and roof structures, fundamentals of hydraulics - water flow in a closed pressurized systems and gravity flow systems, fundamentals of water supply and sewerage.

Co-requisites

Basic knowledge about properties of soils, water in soils, settlement of soils. Basic knowledge about concrete and brick constructions.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. The lectures include elaboration of basic principles, design methods and standard cases solutions. During practices the students practice calculations and relevant solutions for individually submitted building. They can see models of building services systems and its accessories in the department laboratory.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Compulsory attendance at practices. Recommended attendance at lectures. Elaboration of individual project within specified terms. Project submission in the credit week. Fulfilment of written exam at a satisfactory grade.
