Course detail
Modernization and reconstruction (E)
FAST-CH53Acad. year: 2013/2014
The subject deals with the creation of the drawing documentation of reconstructed buildings. Students will learn about the development of building industry laws in Bohemia and Moravia and about building construction systems and principles at of standards and design regulations. It deals mainly about the focus of the present state of the buildings, the construction- technical and historic research, identification of failures by the external symptoms and basic methods for their removal.

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.
