Course detail

Building Constructions 3 (E)

FAST-BHA016Acad. year: 2024/2025

The course continues with deepening of fundamental knowledge in the field of building design. It focuses on roofs, describes various types of roofs, applicable materials, principles of design, etc. The course also introduces building envelopew, their types and variants with regard to elimination of heat losses.

Entry knowledge

The subject is related to Building Engineering 1 (BH001) and Building Construction 2 (BH058). The student must be able to prepare the project documentation (ground plan, section and ceiling construction, without staircase) for the realization of the building, knowledge of the type and properties of the soil, the static action of the structure on the subsoil (subject-soil mechanics and founding), the thermo-technical and acoustic properties of building materials.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

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

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.

Student is able to complete the design of smaller buildings with simple structure and orientation in the building project documentation.
