Structures and Materials of Buildings (5 ECTS)

Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student can list the main components of a building, as well as their tasks and functioning. The student can also explain the characteristics of the main construction materials, ways of manufacturing them and their uses in building components.
The student can choose suitable materials, suitable installation techniques and suitable service instructions in different situations.
Based on previously acquired knowledge, the student is able to use information about the appropriate structure types and materials in producing a BIM model, and knows how to use the model at a construction site.
