Course Enrolment Limitations
The course is offered to students of any study field.
Course objectives supported by learning outcomes
The subject provides a basic overview of the structure and properties of building materials and their building use. During prctical exercises students are introduces with selected laboratory tests and obtained data evaluation.
Learning outcomes
After completing the course the student:
- can describe the basic raw materials and production techniques of classical building materials
- defines the physical properties and the units
- can characterize different types of cement, lime, plaster, mortar, plaster and concrete, their composition and technical characteristics, behavior
- can find the technical data sheets and work with them, can explain their designation
- orientates in the offer and can explain special adaptations of materials such as steel, wood, glass, asphalt and plastics
- can describe the principles of selection and ordering of building materials.
- can describe and practically apply the processes of measurement, weighing, concrete mix design and determination of concrete strength.
