Course detail

Technology of Constructions

FAST-AW51Acad. year: 2021/2022

Technology of constructions is dealing with research, development, modelling and realisation of production processes in civil engineering. The objective is an optimum and economic manner of the execution of building structures, buildings and their complexes.
The course covers introduction into the branch of the technology of constructions, division of construction processes, their technology, spatial and time structure and optimisation of their course. In addition the students are acquainted with preparation and realisation phase of the investment process, from the letter of intent up to the passing over of a completed building into operation.

Course curriculum

1. Introduction into the technology of constructions, basic terms, construction processes and their division, possibilities of analysis of the technology of constructions and their modelling.
2. Process of earth moving operations and foundation engineering, technology procedures.
3. Processes of concrete and reinforced concrete structures (formwork, reinforcement, concrete laying)
4. Walling procedures of bearing, filling and partition structures (materials, technology principles)
5. Assembly processes of bearing structures of the carcass construction (reinforced concrete semi-products, steel and timber)
6. Processes related with peripheral claddings of buildings (roof and wall claddings)
7. Indoor and finishing processes in the construction (distributions of all installations, wall and floor surface treatment, joiner´s , locksmith´ and other assemblies)
8. Complete investment procedure, division, preparatory and realisation phase
9. Building-technology preparation of construction – pre-production, production and operational
10. Computer aid and automated system in the construction preparation
11. Modelling of the production area of the building, site facility documentation
12. Construction realisation, construction management, operative plan, link to the information system
13. Quality of building works, its assurance and inspection, environmental protection during construction
