Foundation structures – pads, continuous footings, rafts, slabs. 5. Properties of a timber and materials on the basis of a timber from the aspect of utilization in building structures. Czech and foreign standards for the design of structures. Limit states of timber structures. 6. Basic types of stresses of members of timber structures and methodology of their checking. Joints of timber structures. 7. Plated and truss structures. Space timber structures – lattice structures, space bar systems, ribbed dome, vaulted and shell structures. 8. Soil properties from the point of view of design of geotechnical structures (soil strength and compressibility). 9. Geostatic stress. Stress from external loading. Bearing capacity and settlement of shallow foundations. 10. Deep foundations - technology, design (drilled piles). 11. Earth pressures - resting, active, passive. 12.
