Learning outcomes
|
The aim is to teach students to understand the properties of building materials in the practice of civil engineering. The lectures aim to explain the physical and chemical principles of building materials, as well as to present the principles of their production and various tests conducted throughout their lifecycle, not only in transport structures. The lecture focuses on the description of building materials, including aggregates, binders, ceramics, glass, concrete, timber, bitumen, metals, and polymers.
After completing the course, students will be able to define and describe building materials based on their mechanical, physical, and geometric properties. They will have a theoretical understanding of the chemical composition of materials and their internal processes. Students will also be able to perform basic tests on building materials and have a theoretical understanding of other tests in the fields of aggregates, cement, concrete, metals, bitumen, and the chemical composition of substances.
