Objectives and competences
Students will be introduced into basic principles of structural elements, systems and structural assemblies which leads to involvment of the student into the process of engineering design.
Students will be able to understand a meaning of individual drawings according to the phase of construction (disposition drawings, formwork drawings, reinforcement drawings, workshop drawings) and will be also able to understand a meaning of basic structural details.
Content (Syllabus outline)
Construction drawings, purpose of drawing, drawings specifics, drawing layout, drawing types. Structural details.
Basic structural elements of building structures; roof, floor and wall load-bearing elements, shells, arches and membranes.
Presentations of basic structural systems; massive, skeletical and frame system. Local and global stability of building structures to vertical and horizontal load according to the selected structural system; terciar, secundar and primar structural elements composed of various building materials and their basic properties, recommended dimensions, possible spans.
Design of structural assembly details for specific selected case study.
Following structurall compositions are studied:
- horizontal and vertical structural asseblies,
- building thermal envelope.
Emphasis on gaining knowledge on function of individual structural components in various material implementations, where structural requirements
and those related building physics are taken into account.
Learning and teaching methods
Lectures and exercise are carried out with he following teaching methods:
- powerpoint projection,
- lectures,
- debate,
- work with photographs, drawings,
- case study analysis,
- detail analysis.
Exercises can be carried out by:
- individual work,
- team work,
- corrections of the project (individual and group).
Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
- Recognase of different structural elements, systems, assemblies and joints.
- Understanding of the process of engineering design.
- Drawing of building structures schemes.
- Application of presented procedures in planning of complex structural systems and assemblies.
Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes
Communication skills: written expression at written examination and oral expression at oral examination.
