DEFINING THE SCOPE OF CONSTRUCTION PIT EXCAVATION USING THE ELEVATIONAL PROJECTION

The department of Civil Engineering at the Polytechnic of Zagreb has always tried to prepare the students in the best possible way for the future experiences and problems which they may expect in the processes of building civil engineering constructions. One of the frequent problems that the civil engineering experts have to deal with, during the planning of the building process, is to define the scope of construction pit excavation. The most common method to solve this problem is to use the so-called elevational projection. The elevational projection is studied in the courses „Descriptive geometry in Civil Engineering I“ and „Descriptive geometry in Civil Engineering II“, and its application in the courses „Construction organisation“, and „Construction site organisation“. The aim of this paper is to show the possibilities of applying the elevational projection in defining the scope of construction pit excavation. We will try to show the implementation of the elevational projection into the teaching process on the professional study of Civil engineering at the Polytechnic of Zagreb. In the end we will also try to give a possible method for students, on how to define the scope depending on the specific conditions and limitations (i.e. building plans, soil type, surrounding buildings, etc.).
