Prerequisites

The course completes topics of the subject Building Constructions I. Students are supposed to design of the building project on the basis of given architectural study (plan, section, plan of floor structure, without stairs). Determination of subsoil conditions and static stability of buildings in the respect with subsoil bearing capacity (subject–Soil Mechanics and Foundation Design), determination of thermal and acoustic properties of building materials.

Aims

The subject is focussed on the presentation of selected building constructions to give overall information about the design of these constructions in structural and material variants and about the system of the project documentation.
