Learning outcomes of the course unit

The aim of this course is to give students complex knowledge about foundations designing (shallow, deep and special foundationts) as about the static unit alltogether with the upper construction and foundation lower beds. The ability to design safe and economical foundation is insisted. Staircase is considered to be one of the most exposed aeras within various buildings. There for correct staircase design and realization from the constructional, safety and hygienic point of view is essential.Correct foundation and staircase design requires knowledge about adjacent building constructions. In unison also knowledge about other disciplines such as bilding materials, statics etc. is lectured. That is why the aim of this course is to teach learners to work with technical informations within specific issue and to apply such knowledge.
Student will be able to apply the peace of knowledge in follow-up subjectes and in consequence to work up his bachelor project.
Throughout the lectures there is put the accent to take advantage of theoretical and technical knowledge of subjects which were studied before.
The result of education is to obtain the necessary knowledge of problems and to catch of relativ context. Student copes design of staircase construction, turn construction, areal strairs bases.

Prerequisites

Fundamental knowledge of physical and mechanical characteristics of basic building´s materials, knowledge of Physics, Descriptive geometry. Knowledge of soil types and its charcteristics, the issue of the foundation methods according to the construction and soil type, shallow and deep foundations. Foundation depth, load at the footing bottom – including soil mechanics subject. Ability to proceed – based on architectural study – a part of project documentation (ground plans and section) for the building realization, including ceiling construction design and blueprint – excluding roofing.

Co-requisites

Knowledge of cocncrete and steel constructions, building constructions and building services from the subjects passed in the 1. and 2. year of study.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The course is taught through lectures, practical classes and self-study assignments. Attendance at lectures is optional, but attendance at classes is compulsory.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

The requirement of pass out of the subject is the participation in compulsory classwork during 13 weeks, tuition of semi-fitted works and to give them over in 13. week.
