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 use. There are presented laboratory tests during exercises.

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, behaviour
- 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. S/he can describe the processes of measuring, weighing, design of concrete mixture and determining concrete strength.
