  • Purpose and learning objectives

    General objectives
    Within this subject you will create a detailed 3D model generated by a BIM software.
    You will deal with structural grids, tolerances, detailing of connections within Substructure and Superstructure.
    You will have benefits within comparing and choosing different members according the structural behavior of theirs connections, tolerances and supports. Using tools supporting the BIM process and allowing to analyze and check structures.

    Learning objectives
    You will increase your knowledge about:
    •Understanding principles of structural members positioning and building performances, within different systems such as: shear systems, beam column system, frame system or mixed systems.
    •Locating vertical and horizontal structural elements in plans, sections, elevations
    You will increase your skills in:
    •To identify and to draw a structural grid.
    •Using BIM tools for Building structural 3D digital models.
    •Editing analytical sections and detailed key junctions.

  • Type of instruction
    The teaching is based on the understanding that learning is most efficient if students are given the opportunity to work with real-life assignments from, or inspired by, companies in relevant industries.
    When choosing a project, the possibility of incorporating the academic and professional challenges throughout the semester into the project must be taken into account.
    The students are given the opportunity to be involved in the various project phases, from preliminary analysis to realisation of the project. In connection with the project work, the students are faced with real-life problems to be solved based on the given theory, and are to organise the work in such a way that deadlines can be met. The students are furthermore provided with the necessary qualifications to work independently, thereby preparing them to complete the final project as an individual assignment.
    This working method allows the students to gain an understanding of how problems are identified and analysed, how solution models are set up, and how the right solution is adopted.
