Buildings conception and execution

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:

• Basic building elements (roofing, flooring, wall, joints, foundations, facade ...)
• Construciton techniques
• Building types (single-storey buildings, multi-storey, high-rise ...)
• Link between the choice of structural elements and loads
• Transfer of loads from the point of application to the ground
• ...

Advanced concepts + Project

In this part of the course, the design and the execusion aof specific elements will be covered in the form of theoretical lectures and worked examples.

In addition, a project (in group) consisting in conceiving and designing a building structure, based on a detailed load lowering, will have to be realised.

Basic concepts

At the end of this course, the students will be able to:

• Conceive the structural scheme of a building;
• Select the most appropriate building elements;
• Establish the plans, including sections and details.

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 a project to be realised at home.

Site visits could be organised.

The submission of the project and the presence of the students at the seminars and at the site visits are mandatory.

Advanced concepts + Project

Face-to-face lectures and a project to be carried out mainly at home. Question and answer sessions will be organised during the realisation of the project.

Additional information:

Closed-book written exam.

The project will be marked and ccount for in the final mark of the course. The relative weight of marks of the written exam and project will be fixed at the beginning of the course. 

A student who has not participated in 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).
