Institute of Building Structures (PST)

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Introduction to terminology, basic structures and design principles in designing of buildings. Obtaining a initial overview about building structures for further study civil engineering. Structural systems, vertical structures, horizontal structures, overhanging and recessed structures, substructure of building, roofs.

Prerequisites

In the course student obtains basic the knowledge and an overview of the building construction. It is assumed that the student does not have in that regard any knowledge.

Co-requisites

In the 1st. semester is not offer suitable courses.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching is dependent on the graduation of lectures from previous study and on the self-study. In the practicals the student shall verify his the skills acquired on basis of lectures.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Assesses the level of written and graphic of expression, respect for the established terminology, theoretical knowledge corresponding range of lectures and practical abilities using the rules for plotting construction of the corresponding content of exercise.
