Course detail
Building Constructions I
FAST-BH52Acad. year: 2009/2010
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. Non-load-bearing structures -requirements, material and structural variations.

Course curriculum
5. – 8. Horizontal load-bearing structures: functional and structural requirements, bounds to vertical structures. Reinforced concrete monolithical floor structures. Assembled and semi-assembled floor structures: wooden structures, floor structures from reinforced concrete or prestressed panels, floor structures from ceramic components or steel sheets and combined floor systems. Vaults.
9. Overhangs and recessed structures: balcony, loggias, terraces, bay windows, attics, design solution, thermal bridge breaks and thermal insulation
10. Skeleton structures (frame or slab structures). Masonry peripheral walls in monolithic skeletons.
11. Combined structures. Structural systems for multy story high buildings, superstructures – design principles, material variations, design examples.
12. Chimneys and ventilation flues – principles of the design.
13. Vertical non-load-bearing walls: requirements on functional properties of partitions, structural, fire safety and acoustic requirements. Classification of partition constructions according to material and technology: masonry, monolithic or prefabricated partitions.
