Course detail

Building Constructions 2 (APS)

FAST-BHA041Acad. year: 2020/2021

The course is aimed at deepening the basic knowledge of building construction. Students will gain knowledge about vertical load-bearing and dividing non-load-bearing structures and their possible solutions, reinforcing rims and lintels. At the same time, they will learn about the problems of expansion and distribution joints in load-bearing and non-bearing structures, substructure and its protection against water, pressurized water and radon. They will also complete information about finishing structures of floors, windows and chimneys. They will be acquainted with the methods of solving facades of buildings (single and multi-layer), exterior and interior plasters.

Syllabus

The aim of the exercise is to practice the standard used for drawing drawings of building parts and presentation of outputs in the design of building construction (floor plan and cross-sections of a non-basement building with 3 floors). Outputs are solved in the form of studies or drawings. 1. Introduction. Standards used to draw drawings of components. Editing drawings and studies. Dimensions and adjustment of drawing sheets. Scales. Lines on building construction drawings. 2. Literary research on a given topic. Familiarization with standard requirements and legislation applicable to administrative buildings, listing of main information in the form of a study. 3. Assignment of the layout of the administrative building, information resulting from the literature search, repetition of the requirements for the building itself and how to draw the study itself. 3. Consultations on the elaboration of a given topic, possible solutions, interventions in existing dispositions. 4. Installation of the object into the terrain - explanation of the construction of the installation, elevation and planimetry of the object, finding the heights necessary for further drawings 5. Design of staircase space, design of the staircase itself, floor plans of individual floors and section of the staircase space 6.
