Determination of porosity of bulk and compacted aggregate. Determination of particle size distribution of aggregates. Determination of normal density and setting times of cement paste. Production of fresh mortar from dry mortar mixture and determination of its consistency. Determination of volume mass, tensile strength in bending and compressive strength of hardened mortar. Determination of volume mass of different types of concretes, of tensile strength in bending and compressive strength. Determination of the actual dimensions of bricks and of their volume mass, their tensile strength in bending and compressive strength. Determination of the type of steel reinforcement according to its surface finish, determination of its nominal diameter. Tensile strength test at ambient temperature. Determination of the volume mass of polymer samples. Tensile test of polymer. Determination of moisture content and volume mass of wood. Determination of the compressive strength of wood parallel to fibres and of flexural strength. Determination of the geological and foundation conditions of structures.

Plane geometry, stereometry, goniometric functions, units of physical quantities and their transfers, the fundamental laws of physics, mechanics of bodies

Statics of rigid bodies, elasticity theory of rigid bodies, Hooke's law, the effects of static and dynamic loading, deformation of body

The educational activity is provided by means of lectures and laboratory practice. Lectures cover the explanation of basic principles, methodology of the discipline, problems and their solutions. Laboratory practice supports the practical mastery of the subject matter presented in the lectures with the active participation of students.

The study results are checked by continuous monitoring during the course, by a credit and examination. The credit requirements include active participation in all laboratory exercises, correctly processed logs in the exercise book and passing the final test. The exam tests the comprehensive command of the material presented in lectures and the ability to apply the acquired knowledge independently and creatively. The teacher assesses the extent of knowledge of the material in the form of ECTS mar
