The course Construction materials in theory and practice introduces materials used for the construction of structures based on metallic materials, especially the most widely used ferrous and non-ferrous metals. Their composition, division and properties of classical steels and non-traditional types of materials are described. The principles for designing the use of metallic materials in terms of ensuring long-term functionality in structural elements are presented. The relationship between the structure and the possibilities of use in practice is described and specifically explained on examples.
