Learning outcomes
|
The aim of the teaching subject is to acquire the basic understanding of the conventional and modern building materials and constructions. This subject is the first connection with the building specialization for students. As an introduction, it should also make it easier to understand the continuous comprehension of the consequential building disciplines. All these subjects form a comprehensive packet of information about the basic actions in civil engineering.
Student is able to recognize and choose a suitable building material to apply into a building construction based on properties of this material and he can rate this properties.
