2. Objectives and learning outcomes
2.1 Objectives
The objective of the course is that the student shall solve a building type structures-specific design problem with pre-defined function and main structural dimensions (industrial/sport hall, multi storey frames etc.), by which practical skills of structural design are obtained. By solving complex design problem, the students should merge and extend his/her knowledge gained by learning the previous subjects. By the individual problem solving method, the students shall gain effective skills to solve the problems arise during a design problem. The direct aim is that the students understand the structural systems and design concept, to gain skills of built up the design concept, learn the complex process of structural design, to recognise the interaction of the architectural and structural design. During solving the design problem, the students shall accomplish the global design of the building and complete the architectural details, the analysis and design of the foundation and the load bearing structures designated by the consultant.

II. Subject requirements

Assessment and evaluation of the learning outcomes
3.1 General rules
The assessment of the learning outcomes specified in clause 2.2. above and the evaluation of student performance occurs via homework and active consultation work.
3.2 Assessment methods
Evaluation form Abbreviation Assessed learning outcomes
HW Part 1. Progress presentation HW1 A.2-A.4, A.8; B.2-B.3, B.9-B.10; C.1-C.6; D.2-D.3
HW Part 2. Progress presentation HW2 A.1-A.5, A.7-A.8; B.1, B.4-B.6, B.9-B.10; C.1-C.7; D.1-D.3
HW Part 3. Progress presentation HW23 A.1-A.7; B.1, B.4-B.10; C.1-C.7; D.1-D.3
HW Part 4. Progress presentation HW4 A.1-A.8; B.1-B.10; C.1-C.7; D.1-D.3
active consultation A A.1-A.8; B.1-B.10; C.1-C.7; D.1-D.3
Each progress presentation of the Homework has to be evaluated other than 0 points to complete the semester. The deadlines of the progress presentation are included in the "detailed semester program" can be downloaded from the subject's website. For non-active involvement malus points can be achieved. For progress presentation(s) 0 point can be achieved for not frequent participation on the consultation. Also 0 point is given for the progress presentation(s) if it is undoubtedly not an individual work completed by the Student. The comprehensive rules are cleared in the "detailed semester program" can be downloaded from the subject's website.
The dates of deadlines of assignments/homework can be found in the detailed course schedule on the subject’s website.
3.3 Evaluation system
Abbreviation Score
HW 85%
A 15%
Total in semester 100%
Sum 100%
Progress presentations are assigned to the homework; the actual schedule is announced on the web site of the subject. Criterion to achieve the semester grade all the Homework parts need to be evaluated other than 0 points. The required corrections of any part(s) has to be corrected in the final documentation, otherwise – independently the obtained points – the final semester grave is failed (1).
3.4 Requirements and validity of signature
No signature can be obtained.
3.5 Grading system
Semester grade is failed, if any of the following applies:
  • Any part(s) of the Homework is not submitted by the deadline or the achieved points of any part(s) of the Homework achieves 0 points.
  • The project is undoubtedly not an individual work completed by the Student.
  • The required corrections of any part(s) are not completed in the final documentation.
  • The sum of the homework and consultation points (HW + A) does not reach 50% of the achievable points.
The final grade is computed on the basis of the sum of each Homework parts detailed in point 3.2 (= HW1 + HW2 + HW3 + HW4 + A) as follows:
Grade Points (P)
excellent (5) 85<=P
good (4) 75<=P<85%
satisfactory (3) 60<=P<75%
passed (2) 50<=P<60%
failed (1) P<50%
3.6 Retake and repeat
  1. Each progress presentation can be repeated one week after the normal deadline, but an extra charge must be paid. In case the normal deadline of progress presentation is on the last week of the semester, it can be repeated until the last day of the repletion week at 12:00. The deadlines of the progress presentation are included in the “detailed semester program” can be downloaded from the subject’s website.
  2. The criterion to submit the last progress presentation (HW Part 4) in the repetition week is to complete the static calculation and its documentation and the 50% of the drawing until the end of the 14th week of the semester.
  3. “Active consultation” A cannot be repeated, cannot be substituted with other forms of activity.
