Learning unit contents
Basic concepts
The objective of this course is to provide the students with fondamental knowledges allowing designing building structures. In particular, the following concepts will be addressed:
- Functional requirements such as acoustic performance, fire safety, ...
- Basic building elements (roofing, flooring, wall, joints, foundations, facade ...)
- Construciton techniques
- Building types (single-storey buildings, multi-storey, high-rise ...)
- Lowering of loads
- ...
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
Basic concepts
At the end of this course, the students will be able to:
- Perform a lowering of loads
- Conceive the structural scheme of a building construction;
- Select the most appropriate building elements;
- Establish the plans, including sections and details.
This course contributes to the learning outcomes I.1, I.2, II.1, III.1, III.2, III.3, III.4, IV.3, IV.5, V.1, V.2, VII.6 of the MSc in civil engineering.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods
Basic concepts
Frontal lectures.
Some lectures will be seminars with lecturers from outside the University (practitionners from industry).
Selected concepts discussed in the course will be applied in exercices and homeworks.
Site visits could be organised.
The submission of the homeworks and the presence of the students at the seminars and at the site visits are mandatory.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)
Basic concepts
Face-to-face course
Basic concepts
Lecture notes will be distributed to the students in electronic form.
All the PowerPoint presentations will also be made available through MyULg.
Basic concepts
Exam(s) in session
Any session
- In-person
written exam ( open-ended questions )
Additional information:
Closed-book written exam.
The homeworks will be marked and ccount for in the final mark of the course. The relative weight of marks of the written exam and homeworks will be fixed at the beginning of the course.
A student who has not participated to all the mandatory activities will not be allowed to present the examination. A mark "A" will be attributed in this case (except if a specific justification is provided and accepted by the professors which will analyse the justificiation with equity).
