Course detail

Building Constructions 2 (E)

FAST-BH058Acad. year: 2022/2023

Structural systems of multi-story buildings: - wall systems, load-bearing brick walls (masonry), openings in load-bearing walls, - monolithic skeleton systems, - combined skeleton and wall systems. Structural systems of high buildings and superstructures – design principles, material possibilities. Floor structures - function, general requirements, connection with vertical load-bearing walls. Floor structure types: wooden, monolithical reinforced concrete, ceramic, steel, combined floor structures.Recessed structures. Chimneys - chimney and ventilaton flues. Non-load-bearing structures -requirements, material and structural variations.

Course curriculum

1. Requirements for design - functional, structural and material; loading; structural systems of multi-storey buildings.
2. The vertical load-bearing structures, walls - brick - type of mortar, masonry material, strength, settlement and creep masonry, brick masonry - types, masonry bond.
3. Block masonry, stonework, masonry mixed - material solutions, properties and design principles.
4. Monolithic and prefabricated walls, multi-layer design - design principles, strength, columns and pillars - material solutions, properties and design principles.
5. Openings in vertical structures (reinforcing elements) - wreaths and translations - static and design principles, material options, elimination of thermal bridges.
6. Horizontal structures - functional and static requirements binding on vertical structures, monolithic ceilings.
7. Prefabricated, polomontované ceiling structure - types, characteristics and performance requirements.
8. Dome - Types, construction and static solutions; skeletal systems - basic principles and functional requirements
9. Skeletal Systems - monolithic, prefabricated, modular systems combined.
10. Design systems of high-rise buildings - superstructure - principle, material options, indoor facilities - types, functional and static requirements.
11. Design pendant and recessed - balconies, loggias, porches, bay windows and cornices - material options, static requirements, heat technical problems.
12. Expansion joints; vertical non-bearing structures - walls - material and design solutions.
13. Chimneys and vents - Principles for design and implementation.

Aims

Acquisition of detailed view in building constructional systems. Acquisition of profound and detailed knowledge in part of building constructions applied to structural principles and own constructions with application of materials, vertical (bearing and non-load-bearing) and horizontal bearing structures including detailed adaptation of completion constructions and composite action.
Issue knowledge assuring preparedness to instruction in another grade of building construction and in following professional subjects.
