Course detail

Testing and technology

FAST-BI02Acad. year: 2009/2010

Technical subject contents is divided into two technical sections:
1) Testing in civil engineering
2) Technology of concrete and ceramics production.
Ad 1)

Regression relations and statistic evaluation of results.
Essentials non-destructive testing methods and their application in laboratories (electro-acoustic, magnetic and hardness measurement methods).
Radiometric methods of reinforcement location, weight density and moisture of loose materials and radon in buildings detection.
Ad 2)
