Aims

Extension of knwledge of main bearing structures, their functions, composition and elements.
Understanding their connection with supplementing structures, technology and economics. Knowledge of design solutions of roof structures, combined structures and special structures. Extension of experience by comprehensive structural design.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Seminars :
- working out of a document of the 1st subbasement of a building situated in a cut of a raked
ground, at the axtent of a smaller family house, which will serve as basis for futher
project documentation
- working out of drawings of execution documentation for a wall and frame structural system
using various alternatives of technology: plan of the 1st subasement, foundations and roof;
two sections, details
- servey and drawing in of the roof's actual state,in the extent of one roof truss
- two control tests
