Aims

The course gives a student the general overview of building structure systems as ground floor buildings and multi-storey buildings used in public and industrial engineering. The main point of the course is addition and application of knowledge from accomplished courses and constructional design of bigger building, its ideational design as a source for detailed draw-up of the design documentation.
