Offered by
Civil Engineering
ECTS
5
Prerequisites
Basic knowledge about structural design, which includes as minimum
• Global stability in buildings.
• Statical analysis and the connection between structures and static calculations.
• Determine loads on buildings and structures according to Eurocodes
• Basic static for beams, columns and walls
• Basic principles and methods of the elastic strength of materials and deformation calculations
• Stress analysis of structural elements
Main purpose
The purpose of the course is to enable the student to design basic masonry structures.
Knowledge
After the course, the student should have knowledge about using of masonry structures in common buildings.
After completion of the course, the students must:
- have knowledge about fundamental material properties of masonry
- have basic knowledge about stress analysis and calculation of deformation of simple load-bearing masonry structures.
Skills
After the course, the student must be able to:
- determine material properties of masonry structures
- design of masonry walls subjected to vertical and horizontal loads
- design of lintels
- design of wall ties
- describe movement joints, shear walls, reinforced masonry and steel columns in masonry structures.
- Evaluate the execution of masonry structures
Competences
After completion of the course, the student must be able to use knowledge and skill within all subject areas to plan and make relevant choices of techniques and theories in order to solve masonry structural design project and choose suitable fire protection for common structural elements.
Topics
Teaching methods and study activities
12 weeks of 4 lectures per week, which is equivalent to 137.5 working hours for each student.
Activities vary between theoretical lectures, self-studies, consultation periods in connection to the work with assignments and students presentation of assignments.
