Course detail

Diagnostic of structures

ÚSI-2BDDKAcad. year: 2015/2016

The course focuses on the causes of technical risks associated with continued operation of construction. Students will be familiar with factors that can affect the quality and reliability of building structures - the repair, maintenance, the decision to demolish. Introduction to testing of structures (in testing, in situ). Classes will be supplemented by practical demonstrations of testing, preparation of sampling plan design and ensure its representativeness using a simple tool qualification quantifying the risks and danger - based on the assumption of minimizing systematic errors of the survey. Attention to the most common mistakes contractors and their prevention. Interpretation into account the ecological and aesthetic function reconstruction and repair and in particular to protect the completed works against negative environmental influences.

Learning outcomes of the course unit

Students will gain specialized and professional knowledge and skills in area of destructive and non destructive testing of materials and structures.

Prerequisites

Not requested.

Co-requisites

Not applicable.

Planned learning activities and teaching methods

Teaching is carried out through lectures and seminars. Lectures consist of interpretations of basic principles, methodology of given discipline, problems and their exemplary solutions. Seminars particularly support practical mastery of subject matter presented in lectures or assigned for individual study with the active participation of students.

Assesment methods and criteria linked to learning outcomes

A condition for granting credit is a semestral work, consisting of the design of test methods for the diagnosis of selected structures. The test will consist of written (test) and oral parts.
