Summary
The subject offers the basic knowledges about structures and properties of the
water service and related structures ( terrestrial, motoring etc. ).
- Building materials and structures, usually used in building,
- Steely and woody structures.
- Building documentation.
- Construction systems of buildings.
- Bricked, monolithic, prefab walls.
- Chimney. Stairs. Buildings roofing.
- Longitudal and transverse section through structure. Drainage.Earth body.
Roadway structure and its constitution.
- Railway constructions and airport.
- Water service constructions.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The student who completes the course should be able:
- to define and apply basic information and knowledge about building materials used in water construction, transport construction and structural engineering
- to prepare, defend and describe simple project documentation for a house.
