Course detail

Building Constructions 2

FAST-AH002Acad. year: 2018/2019

Structural systems of multi-story buildings: - wall systems, load-bearing brick walls (masonry), openings in load-bearing walls, - monolithic skeleton systems, - combined skeleton and wall systems. Structural systems of high buildings and superstructures – design principles, material possibilities. Floor structures - function, general requirements, connection with vertical load-bearing walls. Floor structure types: wooden, monolithical reinforced concrete, ceramic, steel, combined floor structures.Recessed structures. Chimneys - chimney and ventilaton flues. Non-load-bearing structures -requirements, material and structural variations.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

• To repeat the basic terminology of Building Structures
• Deepening of existing knowledge relating to the sub-component of the structural systems.
• Obtaining a comprehensive understanding of the design principles of the systems and their components.
• Practical use of CSN in the design, basic knowledge in basic normative documents necessary for the design of buildings.
• General requirements and classification of horizontal structures and structures linking different levels.
• Basic knowledge of design vertical load-bearing structures of skeletal systems of civil and industrial buildings.
• Basic knowledge of solutions of multi-storey buildings.

Prerequisites

Technical terminology, basic requirements to various types of building (functional, structural and architectural), basic knowledge about constructional systems, competence to choice of system commensurate with type of building, spatial stiffness provision of constructional system. Drawing knowledge of basic constructional types, competence of building drawings reading.

Co-requisites

Terminology, loading of buildings, mechanical resistance and stability, addressing stress in building structures, knowledge in soil mechanics and foundation engineering, material characteristics.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Throughout the lectures it handles about the lecturing activities of teachers and that of representatives of engineering practice. The practices are then focused on actual building design of a part of a construction in the form of project documentation for building permission. The teaching methods do depend on the way of teaching and are described in article 7 of the Study and Examination Regulations of the VUT.

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 course, it is necessary to get the credit from practices, to obtain more than 60% of the points in the written exam and pass the oral examination.

Course curriculum

1. Introduction to Structural Engineering, sorting buildings, basic concepts, concept design of buildings, modular coordination.
2. Requirements for the construction, external influences on the building. Mechanical systems, classification, principles and technology, space stiffness, load stability.
3. Distribution of the components, the distribution of structural elements, their mutual relations, basic materials in construction, their properties and applications. Requirements for constructions – functional. Requirements for design - functional, structural and material; loading; structural systems of multi-storey buildings.
4. Structural Systems - wall masonry, structural and material requirements, masonry, brick and blocks (materials, links, creep and settlement of masonry). Andy tyes of mortars.
5. Masonry and stone mixed openings in load-bearing walls, lintels over openings, reinforcing rim. Openings in vertical structures.
6. Structural Systems - monolithic concrete wall mounted. Multi-layer design - design principles, strength, columns and pillars - material solutions, properties and design principles.
7. Ceiling construction - an overview, requirements, feedback on the vertical structure, monolithic ceiling. Wreaths and translations - static and design principles, material options, elimination of thermal bridges.
8. Ceiling construction - prefabricated concrete and ceramic. Functional and static requirements binding on the vertical structure.
9. Ceiling construction - prefabricated wooden, steel and combination. Functional and static requirements binding on the vertical structure.
10. Skeletal Systems - monolithic, prefabricated, modular systems combined. Design systems of high-rise buildings - superstructure - principle, material options, indoor facilities - types, functional and static requirements.
11. Design pendant and recessed (balconies, loggias, porches, patios, akrýře, cornices), materials options, static requirements, heat technical problems.
12. The vertical non-bearing walls, partitions requirements. Brick walls, monolithic, prefabricated glass walls and mobile walls. Structural and non-structural parts of buildings - relationships. Expansion joints; vertical non-bearing structures - walls - material and design solutions.
13. Chimney and ventilation units - design principles and implementation. Feed for layout.
