Institute of Concrete and Masonry Structures (BZK)

A student gains these knowledge and skills:
Ability to design the masonry structures. To set up their calculating models. To elaborate static calculation. To elaborate technical drawings according to valid recommendation and stards. Ability to check the correct technological methods of executing of masonry structures.

structural mechanics, theory of elasticity, design of concrete members

not required

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations. Education runs in the forms of lectures and trainings. Character of the lectures is based on definition of basic principles, problems and methodology. In the trainings the main subject matters are trained on individually defined projects (examples).

To gain the credit, the students should elaborate individually defined design and calculate specified task. The students are obliged to consult the design continuously in the given terms and submit it to the fixed date. The presences in training lessons are checked. An exam consists both of the written part, in which the task is elaborated, and the theoretical part. To pass the exam successfully, both parts should be accomplished.

1. Development of masonry structures and their design. Materials for masonry structures. Structural arrangement.
2. Strength and deformation properties of masonry. Buckling influence.
3. Load-bearing capacity of masonry elements axially or unaxially compressed.
4. Load-bearing capacity of masonry elements stressed by flexure, shear, tension or concentrated pressure.
5. Limit state of cracks opening. Limit state of deformation.
6. General principles for the design of masonry structures. Statical analysis of hall masonry structures.
7. Statical analysis of multi-storey masonry buildings with flexible and rigid horizontal structures.
8. Statical analysis of masonry arches.
9. Horizontal structures of hollow clay blocks. Solution of composite elements formed of beams and shaped blocks.
10. Design of vertical ceramic elements.
11. Reinforced, grip and prestressed masonry. Folded walls.
