Course detail

Technology of Prefabricated Structures

FAST-BJ12Acad. year: 2013/2014

Further to special subjects - the technology of prefabricated units and the utilization of building materials including the suitability of building them up into the structure of building objects is discussed. A systematic survey of present assortment of prefabricated units. A brief description of the performance of the technology of housing and industrial and transport building, especially of up-to-date erection. Housings: the possibility of erecting structures from prefabricated units, and the combination of erected objects with classical building technologies. Industrial building: the possibilities of monolithic structures formed by means of system formwork in combination with prefabricated units. Transport building: building of both monolithic and erected bridges. The present possibilities of the utilization of the erected units in the reconstruction of building structures. Deviations and tolerances in building industry, further trends in the development of erection technology. Demands concerning the quality and dimensions accuracy in the production of prefabricated units, trends of development in the branch of prefabrication. Lecture block is added by exercise lessons, which contain excursion to real structure, where the construction aspect is apparent to extend the knowledge of students.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

After completing the course, student will get the knowledge about the main processes of building constructions using prefabricated technology. In particular, will have knowledge regarding the types of prefabricated buildings (flat houses) construction, and will know the classification of these type of buildings. Furthermore, student will also know the basic types of construction of prefabricated reinforced concrete, timber and steel structures (skeleton systems). He will have a basic knowledge of building technology applied in bridge structures using prefabricated technology (cantilever, methods of prestressing reinforcement), and construction of underground structures using prefabrication (secondary segmental lining). The knowledge of types and technology of construction of wood-frame buildings will be the expected results also.

Prerequisites

Basic orientation in structural systems of structural engineering and in performance of engineering structures and metal and wood structures. Designing of concrete structures, physical and mechanical properties of steel, reinforced concrete, timber.

Co-requisites

The knowledge of procedures in the technology of building units production.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. Lecture block is ensured using digital slide-presentations further describing the partial teaching issues. During exercise lectures, great emphasis is focused on achievement of independence for the students, which will lead them to get ability for applying their knowledge in practical issues.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

To successfully complete the exercising part of course, each student has to develop their own reports describing real-time usage of prefabricated structure according to their own choice and to be able for their oral presentation. Lecture block is finished by the examination consisting from written and oral parts.
