Objectives and competences
With help of analyses to identify functions of living and working spaces and achieve a functional understanding of individual constructional assemblies (and building as a whole).
Understanding of main principles involves the student in engineering design, in making abstract concepts real they connect with practice. The building is being analysed on 2 levels:
- Individual parts of the building
- Building as a whole
During the analyses of constructional assemblies and buildings we will be referring to European directives and also national directives.
Content (Syllabus outline)
Conceptual constructional assembly (derivates from a functional analyse of aktive spaces).
Specification of individual constructional assemblies.
Transition from a concept to detailed plan of structural assemblies of specific selected case study.
Following constructional compositions will be processed:
Horizontal structures
- roofs
- floor structures
- floors
- stairs
- openings
- balconies, loggias, terraces
Vertical structures
- exterior walls
- interior walls
- openings
Building envelope
- glass facades and roofs
Emphasis on learning about the functioning of individual structural components in various material implementations.
Application of constructional assembly on a building, critical judgement of the conceptual design, function and materials
Design and dimensioning:
- structural design – dimensioning of load-bearing components
- thermal transmittance and water vapor diffusion.
Learning and teaching methods
Lectures and exercise are carried out with he following teaching methods:
- powerpoint projection,
- debate,
- work with photographs, drawings,
- case study analysis
- field work
Particular lectures can be carried out by:
- individual work
- active exercises
- corrections of the project (individual and group).
Some parts of lectures can be provided by
experts from practice selected by the course lecturer
Intended learning outcomes - knowledge and understanding
Upon completion of this course, the student will be able to:
? Design, construct, dimension and analize functions of comprehensive constructional assemblies (in connection with load-bearing constructions systems) in dependence of requirements for living and working environment and natural environment conditions.
? Explain and illustrate the process of engineering design of constructional assemblies for different building typologies.
Intended learning outcomes - transferable/key skills and other attributes
Transferable/Key Skills and other attributes:
? Communication skills: intermediate presentations of seminar work, critical assesment of completed active exercises.
? Use of information technology: use of software tools for building design and dimensioning of thermal transmittance and water vapor diffusion.
