Institute of Building Structures (PST)

The course follows-up the knowledge taught within the course of 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).

Technical terminology, basic requirements to various types of building (functional, structural and architectural), basic knowledge of structural systems, ability to choose a commensurate system with type of building, spatial stiffness provision of constructional system. Drawing knowledge of basic constructional types, ability of building drawings reading.

Terminology, loading of buildings, mechanical resistance and stability, addressing stress in building structures, knowledge in soil mechanics and foundation engineering, material characteristics.

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 BUT.

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.

1. Requirements for construction - functional, structural and material; loading; structural systems of multi-storey buildings.
2. Vertical load-bearing structures, masonry walls, mortar types, materials, load-bearing capacity, settlement and creeping; brickwork – types, bonding.
3. Blockwork, stonework, ashlar walls – materials, properties a structural principles.
4. Monolithic and prefabricated walls, multi-layer design - design principles, strength, columns and pillars - material solutions, properties and design principles.
5. Openings in vertical structures (reinforcing elements) - wreaths and translations - static and design principles, material options, elimination of thermal bridges.
6. Horizontal structures - functional and static requirements binding on vertical structures, monolithic ceilings.
7. Prefabricated, semi prefabricate ceiling structure - types, characteristics and performance requirements.
8. Vaults – types, structural and static solutions; skeleton systems – basic principles and functional requirements.
9. Skeleton systems – monolithic, precast, combined systems.
10. Structural systems of multi storey high buildings – superstructures – principles, materials, hall buildings – types, functional a static requirements.
11. Design pendant and recessed - balconies, loggias, porches, bay windows and cornices - material options, static requirements, heat technical problems.
12. Movement joints; vertical non-bearing structures – partitions – materials, structural concepts.
13. Chimneys a ventilation flues – principles of design and building.
