Course content
Independent project in the framework of modern program-oriented teaching with a focus on solving problems of construction practice. The student will process complex problem of construction practice using the knowledge gained from the study on an appropriate level. In the first semester of the two-semester course, the overall concept of the medium-sized building will be created and optimized. 1. Choice of suitable building based on architectural study, published presentations of interesting buildings in the media, etc. As suitable building is assumed administrative, residential, municipal, sport building, etc., of the height to 8 floors or 36 m span of the roof structure. 2. Comprehensive analysis of selected building - functions, properties, neighbourhood, orientation to the cardinal points, layout and dimensional requirements, the foundation conditions etc. - in the form of text reports and sketches if necessary. 3. - 4. Variant design of the structural system and building envelope - 3 suitable options of material, structural and technological solutions (schemes of layouts and section 1:200 + text description). 5. - 6. Analysis of options of structural system and building envelope, selecting the best solution and its optimization (text description + schemes 1:100). 7. - 8. Conceptual design of completion structures and sanitary systems, (schemes 1:100 + preliminary calculations of building physics and building sanitary). 9. - 11. Preliminary structural analysis, design and assessment of selected structural elements of the load-bearing system, assessment of spatial rigidity and stability, design and assessment of connections. Structural drawings (shape, composition) 1:100. 12. Public presentation of the project. 13. Completion of the project. Assessment.
