Learning outcomes of the course unit

• Introduction to structural engineering.
• Students will learn the terminology, gain knowledge of basic design principles.
• Overview of the basic terminology structures and their classification.
• Introduction to the basic approach to designing buildings.
• Understand the main load-bearing structures and structural systems of the building.
• Familiarization with the construction phase and documentation requirements of buildings
• Students will learn to read drawings of buildings and gain the basic technical plotting and thinking.

Prerequisites

Written and graphic level of expression, respect for the most basic medical terminology, basic material knowledge, basic general engineering knowledge, logical thinking.

Co-requisites

Terminology, loading of buildings, material characteristics.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

The lectures are a lecturing teachers, but also representatives of civil engineering practice. In practice the solution is simple construction project in the form of project documentation house in the degree of planning permission. Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Altogether it is necessary to actively participate the practices, with parallel consultations and submissions of the assigned work (drawings) according to the schedule of practices, which are then required to be handed in together within the credit week in a prescribed manner. To pass the final mark, it is necessary to meet all requirements of exercise - and passing the final test.

Course curriculum

1. Introduction and performance issues in building construction; process of building design, a balanced cooperation professions. Basic functional, material, technological and technical requirements for construction.
2. Types of buildings (residential, industrial, agricultural and special structures). Features of the house and its interior and environment - a brief typological rules..
3. Basic terminology, overview of basic structures.
4. Requirements at building constructions; resistance of constructions opposite external impacts; Requirements at conteinmant and hygiene inside surroundings; technological requirements; ecological requirements; economic requirements. Stability and spatial rigidity of the building, the principles for structural design of buildings.
5. The principles of proportionality, the principle of modular coordination, implementation module in building construction, coordination dimensions.
6. Construction materials; physical and chemical properties of materials. The building envelope, finishes, windows and doors.
7. Basic introduction to the supporting vertical and horizontal structures.
8. Brief introduction to: Foundations, roofing systems for buildings, inclined support structure.
9. Designing in construction; building legislation, Czech technical standards (model building system principle design solution).
10. Process and realization of building; main participients of process; period of process. The methodology of of the design process works. Legislation – technical requirements for buildings.
11. Caring for buildings: maintenance and repair, the modernization and reconstruction of buildings.
12. Problems of using buildings by persons with reduction ability of movement and orientation; principle of design; health sense of quality inside surroudings of building.
13. Thermal protection of buildings and principles for saving energy - indoor thermal comfort, thermal properties of structures, energy efficiency.
