Course detail

Building Constructions 1 (APS)

FAST-BHA040Acad. year: 2024/2025

The course is to introduce the development of the civil engineering industry to the student. It’s to teach students about the building code and accompanying decrees, local standards, nomenclature, structural systems, etc. Students are to gain information about loads and forces as well alongside ones regarding vertical load and non-load bearing structures, stairs, ramps, and others. They will also learn the basic requirements of building acoustics, thermal physics and barrier-free use of the building.

Entry knowledge

It is assumed that the student has no knowledge at the beginning of the course in the field of civil engineering.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

Altogether it is necessary to actively participate the practices, with parallel consultations and submissions of the assigned work (drawings) according to the schedule of practices, which are then required to be handed in together within the credit week in a prescribed manner. To pass the final mark, it is necessary to meet all requirements of exercise - and passing the final test.


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

Syllabus

The aim of practices is to teach students the proper ways of drafting. More specifically the usage of actually valid standards about construction drawings. Throughout practices, students are bound to work on studies, floor plans and sections. 1. Introduction to practices. Drafting standards. Paper format and arrangement of paper space. Technical lettering. Scales in drafting. Line types and line weight in drawings of buildings. 2. Drafting according to latest standards – Hatching. Dimensioning. Leaders and bubbles. Drawing of plumbing fixtures and furniture. Floor and room numbering. 3. Drafting according to latest standards – Basics of typology. Modular coordination. 4. Drafting according to latest standards – Drawing of windows. 5. Drafting according to latest standards – Drawing of doors and gates. 6. Drafting according to latest standards – Surface finishes. Chimneys and ventilation shafts. 7. Drafting according to latest standards – First-floor plan and sections of a building without basement (case study) 8. First-floor plan respecting modular coordination and basics of typology 9. Drafting according to latest standards – First-floor plan and the section of a building without basement (individual assignment) 10. Drafting according to latest standards – Stairway design.
