Learning outcomes of the course unit

Student regaining summary about of different types of materials which way technologically modern, so accordingly supplying original materials, that are make use for reconstruction and sanitation of building structure. Further student will be introduced with technological procees making use these materials on reconstructions. Student will be able to past graduation subject determine peace and range needed reconstruction and propose counteraction pair with acceptable selection of materials for reconstruction.

Prerequisites

The skill of the combined use of the knowledge of sciences (physics, chemistry, mathematics) on a secondary school level, the ability to use knowledge of the subjects of Building materials and Building mechanics, the knowledge of the statistics – methodology of the selection and optimization.
In case of the subject given in English, the intermediate level of written and spoken English is required.
