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:
- 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
- ...
Projects
In this part of the course, students will carry out a project (in group) consisting of a detailed analysis of the structural behaviour of an existing building structure or one under construction.
Learning outcomes of the learning unit
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.
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 program available here.

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 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.
Projects
Students will work on their project mainly at home. Sessions allowing interaction between teachers and students will be organised.
Mode of delivery (face to face, distance learning, hybrid learning)

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).
