Course detail

Special technology

FAST-CW04Acad. year: 2012/2013

The subject is based on the need to examine properties of new building materials and to examine manners and procedures of their rational production and integration into the building. The construction technology development stagnated for a long period. The construction technology development as a scientific branch is hindered by complexity of analysis of extensive information files. However, without it is not possible to formulate some regularities needed for process modelling.
The role of the experiment at the development of construction technology is necessary and cannot be substituted.
Good planner is that one who masters principles of technology of building processes of new and special technologies.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

After the course completion, students are able to apply the acquired knowledge on special technological procedures onto a specific construction.
Students have understanding of technological procedures of selected technologies applied on rough superstructures, finishing and rehabilitation works, built-ins, demolition works, false work and correction of defects.
During the course, students will acquire theoretic knowledge of selected technologies; they will use detailed instructions for the implementation of the previously acquired knowledge in case studies. They will use the instructions to elaborate outputs and provide sample documents of:
Technological regulations for a selected special technology, including attachments defining the object, the structure and the selected technology. At the end of the course, the student must deliver an oral defence of the technology of his/her choice and the mode of its elaboration within the project. For this purpose, the student prepares a PowerPoint Presentation.
Site visits during the term help students in the understanding of additional modes of using special technologies in actual building implementation.

Prerequisites

Knowledge of technology processes in inside and finishing works and basic knowledge of the reconstruction of buildings.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching methods depend on the type of course unit as specified in the article 7 of BUT Rules for Studies and Examinations.This course consists of lectures and seminars.
Individual assignment of works for the project and the presentation will be discussed during the seminars. The tutor will guide the students throughout the semester regarding the outcomes of their projects on basis of general guidelines and individual consultations. During the course of the semester, there will be site visits

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

Attendance of the lectures is recommended. Attendance of the seminars is compulsory. Due to the extent of the syllabus, no more than 2 absences are allowed. The credits will be awarded during the final week of tuition on the basis of the oral presentation performed by the student. The tutor can allow an alternative date only in exceptional cases. All works with the formalities of a term paper should be submitted in an A4 file, electronic presentations must submitted in a CD/DVD disc.

Course curriculum

8. Defects and failures at application of new technology procedures.
9. Demolition of reinforced concrete buildings and material recycling.
10.Ausiliary structures and mechanisation.
11.Roof penthouses and building-in, reconstruction of flat sanitary units.
12.Root piles, drainage walls.
13.Sanitation of foundation structures.

Work placements

Aims

·Making the student acquainted with new technology procedures, application of new materials and stuffs. To the lectures company representatives are regularly invited to demonstrate special application of new materials based on the latest knowledge of the science. Specific characteristics of these materials are referred to as well as possible differences in application compared to traditional technology processes.

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

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

Recommended optional programme components

Students can also choose from the wide range of seminars and lectures by professional constructors, field trips to production and construction sites and other events organized for students by the institute. Not obligatory.

Prerequisites and corequisites
