Aims

Gaining basic knowledge in the field of masonry structures, needed for designing new masonry bearing structures or for intervention into existing structure.
Gaining basic knowledge in the field of geotechnics,needed for designing bearing structures in defined geological conditions of the site.

Specification of controlled education, way of implementation and compensation for absences

Lectures are not obligatory, tutorials are obligatory - attendance at tutorials and the progress of work on semestral assignment are regularly monitored. Missed lessons can be made up for in another group or by individual arrangement with the teacher.
