Course detail

Diagnostics of constructions

FAST-BI52Acad. year: 2011/2012

The task of construction diagnostics by carrying out a building-technical survey within maintenance, repair and reconstruction of structures.
General methodology of diagnostic procedures, flow diagram of structure survey.
Application of destructive and non-destructive testing methods by surveys, non-destructive tests made more accurate, evaluation of results with statistic methods.
Užití celého spektra radiografických metod nedestruktivního zkoušení na reálné či virtuální konstrukci (kontrola železobetonových a předpjatých konstrukcí, kombinace radiografické a magnetické metody při určování výztuže v konstrukcích)
Defect and failure diagnostics. Deformations and cracks in constructions monitoring, fatigue and degradation of material. Methods of long-time structure controlling.
Seminary paper concerns the proposal of detailed progress of structure-technical survey of the construction.
Laboratory practice with individual tasks, demonstrations of test progresses on models and buildings.
