Institute of Building Structures (PST)

From the knowledge about the basic construction of buildings student acquires the ability to prepare a concept of project documentation. The aim is to focus on the choice of appropriate structural system and supporting system of the building for the specific purpose.

Knowledge of building constructions, descriptive geometry; structural mechanics, elasticity and strength; geodesy; static design; concrete structures, steel and wooden structures, building materials, soil mechanics; machinery of building site, foundation engineering, geology.

Not applicable.

Teaching performed as lectures and exercises. The exercise solves the concept of structural studies of construction, leading to self design, consultation and defense of proposals buildings.

Prerequisite for obtaining credit is given drawing up documentation and graphical outputs. Exam by compensation consists of the drawing up the test and subsequent oral examination in accordance with the given questions.

1. Foundations – setting of the building into the terrain, subsoil and ground works, shallow foundations, basements, damp proof courses and waterproofing, deep foundations.
2. Vertical load-bearing constructions – walls, masonry systems, building stability and structural strength, load-bearing walls from bricks and blocks, precast panel block buildings.
3. Masonry – strength, reinforced rims, precast and monolithic lintels, mounted walls from prefabricated panels, combined precast
and monolithic wall technology.
4. Horizontal load-bearing constructions – static stability and design rules, reinforced concrete floor structures completed in monolithic, prefabricated or combined technology, wooden floor structures.
5. Overhangs and recessive constructions - static scheme and design, cornices, balconies, loggia, bay windows, sun shadings, attics, recessive slabs.
6. Structural design of the single-story and multi-story buildings, stability and strength.
7. Skeleton systems – prefabricated, monolithic or combined technology, floor structures in skeleton buildings.
8. Staircase in skeleton systems, – variations, details of constructional joints.
9. Constructions for connection of different floor levels – static schemes and design rules for staircases, ramps, transport shafts, ladders, lifts and elevators.
10. Load-bearing structures of roofs – roof truss systems; wooden, reinforced concrete, steel trusses, static schemes.
11. Details of the roof truss, flat roof single leaf and double leaf roofs; flat roof compositions.
12. Vertical non-bearing constructions – partitions and external claddings – brick walls, monolithic or prefabricated walls, design rules and technology.
13. Completive constructions – windows, chimneys, banisters and railing, surface finishing, floor finishing, soffits – dilatation and movement joints, facing details.

Not applicable.

The course is focused on the study concept of the project documentation completed on the basis of fundamental knowledge about building constructions. The design of the convenient load-bearing structural concept of a middle-sized building is the main task. The building is determined by the architectural disposition study and assignment of outdoor conditions of the building site. The study of the project in the stage of the documentation for the building planning permission is the compulsory work for the course examination.

Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.
