Course objectives supported by learning outcomes
The aim is to obtain professional knowledge of foundations, substructure, vertical supporting structures, chimneys, expansion and construction systems.
Learning outcomes
After successful completion of the course the student: a) knows to determinate a module coordination and to determine and define the structural systems of multi-storey buildings (structural wall system, skeleton, and combined), structural systems of hall buildings (construction systems stressed primarily in bending, compression mostly, mostly drawn) and the superstructure. b) knows the principles of dilated and non-bearing structures, and s/he can suggest expansion in terms of differential subsidence and volume changes. c) is able to describe the type of shallow and deep foundations and explain the underlying load distribution in the soil and its effect on settlement construction. d) is able to resolve the skeleton and massive bottom structure, lighting, underground construction, insulation and construction of underground structures without a basement. e) can apply the knowledge of the vertical supporting structures (technological point of view, design of structural walls and columns, openings in bearing walls). f) is able to characterize the types of chimneys, assess the impact of location on the stack is functioning correctly. Students can also evaluate the chimneys of the physical and chemical point of view and to propose a reconstruction or repair of the chimney.
