Course Details
Building Constructions 1 (APS)
Academic Year 2023/24
BHA040 course is part of 1 study plan
BPC-APS Winter Semester 1st year
The course is to introduce the development of the civil engineering industry to the student. It’s to teach students about the building code and accompanying decrees, local standards, nomenclature, structural systems, etc. Students are to gain information about loads and forces as well alongside ones regarding vertical load and non-load bearing structures, stairs, ramps, and others. They will also learn the basic requirements of building acoustics, thermal physics and barrier-free use of the building.
