FAST-AH02Acad. year: 2012/2013
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.

Learning outcomes of the course unit
The course follows-up the knowledge taught within the course of BH02 Building Construction Science. While repeating the basic terminologies connected to building structures it deepens the existing knowledge related to the components of given structural systems as much as that of design principles of structures and their parts (vertical structures, horizontal structures, overhanging and recessed structures, chimneys, separation and expansion /dilatation/ joints).
Prerequisites
Technical terminology, basic requirements to various types of building (functional, structural and architectural), basic knowledge about constructional systems, competence to choice of system commensurate with type of building, spatial stiffness provision of constructional system. Drawing knowledge of basic constructional types, competence of building drawings reading.
Co-requisites
Terminology, loading of buildings, mechanical resistance and stability, addressing stress in building structures, knowledge in soil mechanics and foundation engineering, material characteristics.
Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Throughout the lectures it handles about the lecturing activities of teachers and that of representatives of engineering practice. The practices are then focused on actual building design of a part of a construction in the form of project documentation for building permission. The teaching methods do depend on the way of teaching and are described in article 7 of the Study and Examination Regulations of the VUT.
Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes
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 course, it is necessary to get the credit from practices, to obtain more than 60% of the points in the written exam and pass the oral examination.
