Course detail
Modernization and reconstruction (E)
FAST-CH53Acad. year: 2012/2013
Considering the range of lectures, information is colleted into the synopsis that helps students to be well informed about the issues involved in the self-study. The aim of the course is to teach students basic knowledge of renovation and modernization of buildings. This course should improve students’s ability to find and analyse the right solution, and use it in a specific situation. Students should avoid frequent mistakes that can appear during designing of a building. Changes and modernization of old buildings are not connected only with the improvement of an indoor environment and functional utilization, but economical efficiency of the building operation is indiscerptible part of the reconstruction as well.

2. Causes of the building decay: Failures of foundation structures – causes.
3. Failures of ceiling structures, vaults and roof trusses.
4. Structure adaptation influence to the durability of constructions. Town planning conception. Human factor influence to the value of a building. Terminology. Economic efficiency.
5. Ascertaining and evaluation of physical building conditions. Evaluation process of building constructions, tectonic investigation.
6. Fault classification from the gravity point of view - causes. Typical examples of faults.
7. Investigating methods of building physical condition and outcome processing. Methods - application field – examples of a practical application.
8. Reconstruction technologies. Foundation reconstruction (stabilization and enlargement). Strengthening of vertical load-bearing constructions. Ceiling structure reconstructions and the general requirements on the refurbished ceiling structure.
9. Moisture in building constructions. External appearances and effects. Causes elimination and moisture reduction in building materials.
10. Chimney modernization, reconstruction of the additional and non-bearing parts of a building.
11. Staircase reconstruction, lift constructions.
12. Building envelope faults - classification according to a location appearance.
13. Building envelope faults - examples in details – fault effects and their elimination.
