Syllabus

1. Introduction to the subject, basic terminology, principles of building design, general technical legislation.
2. Foundation structures – shallow and deep foundations. Functions. Classification, materials, principles of design and implementation, examples. Waterproofing of buildings, protection against radon.
3. Vertical load-bearing structures – walls (masonry, monolithic, prefabricated), skeletons (monolithic, prefabricated). Functions, classification, materials, principles of design and implementation, examples.
4. Horizontal load-bearing structures – ceilings, balconies, enclosed balconies, ledges, oriel windows. Functions, classification, materials, principles of design and implementation, examples.
5. Structures connecting different height levels – staircases, ramps, lifts, ladders. Functions, classification, materials, principles of design and implementation, examples.
6. Roof structures – flat roofs (single skin, double skin), sloping roofs (angled, steep). Functions, classification, materials, principles of design and implementation, examples.
7. Non load-bearing structures – cladding (self-supporting, suspended), partitions (masonry, prefabricated, monolithic). Functions, classification, materials, principles of design and implementation, examples.
