Students will gain knowledge regarding up-to-date terminology, manufacturing and handling procedures and specifications for fresh concrete. They will understand different types of formwork and formwork systems as the basic prerequisite for the selection of an optimum type of formwork during the construction and reconstruction of structures. They will be able to carry out a technical and economic analysis of the costs involved with formwork and find the most cost-effective option for the rental of formwork. They will gain an overview of the manufacturing processes used in producing reinforced concrete structures themselves from the perspective of formwork, reinforcing and concreting work. They will learn specific procedures for concreting under special conditions. They will gain basic knowledge regarding the options for the rehabilitation of concrete structures.

Basic knowledge of statics as applied to concrete structures, structural mechanics and methods for testing the properties of fresh and hardened concrete.

Time analysis and optimization of the progress of work over time, use of computer support for the planning and execution of the construction process.

Lectures are the basic teaching method, involving the explanation of basic principles, methods, problems, and examples of their solution in the form of presentations with practical examples and an emphasis on critical points. Follow-up practical classes focus mainly on practical mastery of the knowledge acquired during lectures in the form of work on an individual project under the guidance of the tutor.

Successful completion of the course occurs upon gaining the credit and passing the exam. The basic prerequisite for the credit is active participation during practical lessons, i.e. regular attendance with max. 1 permitted absence and proper fulfilment of the required outputs of the student’s individual assignment. The required outputs are a cost analysis for formwork for a specific structure, technical guidelines concerning monolithic structures, and the designing of formwork using available so

1. Terminology, production and handling procedures, characteristic features of fresh concrete.
2. Formwork, technical procedures.
3. Reinforcement, pouring of concrete mixture into formwork, compacting.
4. Massive structures, concreting under special conditions, quality control.
5. Assembled structures, assembly procedures, fixation, quality control.
6. Methods of rehabilitating and reconstructing concrete structures, diagnostics.
7. Surface types of concrete structures and methods of rehabilitating them.
8. Structural rehabilitation.

To make the students acquainted with technology of concrete, reinforced concrete structures and application of reinforced concrete elements in the assembled structures, their reconstructions and reinstating.

Extent and forms are specified by guarantor’s regulation updated for every academic year.

Non-compulsory attendance to optional seminars related to the course, the option to attend related courses in the life-long learning programme, cooperation in building preparation projects.

1. Introduction to the programme of the practical lessons, conditions and requirements for the credit, individual assignment of a monolithic structure that will be dealt with during practical lessons throughout the semester.
2. Assignment, contents and structure of technical guidelines for an assigned monolithic structure – the main output from the practical lessons, produced and discussed throughout the semester, complemented by supplementary work produced in the following practical lessons.
3. Calculation of concrete curing time after formwork removal, time schedule, inspection and test plan – all for the assigned monolithic structure as part of the technical guidelines.
4. Formwork design for the assigned structure produced manually or using available software – ground plan, characteristic sections, details, lists of elements.
5. Engineering economics study aimed at determining the most economical option from the aspect of concrete, salary and formwork costs.
6. Individual assignment of an example of the rehabilitation of a reinforced concrete structure – e.g. reinforcement of a beam, a design proposal, calculations.
7. Evaluation and checking of assigned tasks from practical lesson 6.
8. Evaluation of assigned tasks, defence of proposed solutions.
