Prerequisites

In the course BH02 Fundamentals of Building Constructions student obtains basic the knowledge and an overview of the building construction. It is assumed that the student does not have in that regard any knowledge.

Co-requisites

In the 1st. semester is not offer suitable courses

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.

Assesses the level of written and graphic of expression, respect for the established terminology, theoretical knowledge corresponding range of lectures and practical abilities using the rules for plotting construction of the corresponding content of exercise.

Course curriculum

1. Types of building constructions (residential, municipal, industrial, agricultural and special buildings). Functional, structural and architectural aspects of the construction types. Function of a building and its constructions, building service, constructions and indoor environment, scale and dimensions for buildings-typological rules, the function of rooms and building spaces, housing, public housing, educational, administrative, commercial, industrial, agricultural. Man-building-room, ergonomics and anthropology.
2. Basic terminology, foundations, load-bearing structures, external envelopes and claddings, windows, doors, gates, roof systems and roofings.
3. Structures and structural systems – design requirements for structural system, design and assessment of a structural system, stability and strength of the system, structural system variations - walls systems and their material variants, skeleton systems and their material variants, design principles of load-bearing structures of high and multy store buildings.
4. Disposition of buildings and their parts – residential, educational, administrational, health centre, industrial, agricultural buildings.
5. Modular coordination and geometric accuracy – principles of proportionality, principle of modular coordination, application of the modulus in building constructions, coordination dimensions and target sizes, the term of geometric accuracy.
6. Fire protection of buildings – basic conceptions, fire resistance, fire hazard, building fire protective adaptations, escape routes.
7. Protection of health, healthy living conditions and indoor environment – modification of hygienic rooms, daylighting, ventilation and heating, insolation, sound protection and protection against vibration.
8. Security of habitants – adaptation of buildings for horizontal routes (corridors and passageways), adaptation of buildings for vertical communications (staircases and lifts).
9. Thermal protection of buildings and energy saving principles – indoor thermal comfort, thermal properties of constructions, energy efficiency.
