Course detail

Laboratory Tests of Building Materials and Components I

FAST-CJ05Acad. year: 2009/2010

The students in the subject laboratory tests during the winter term are methodically and professionally prepared for selected topics of their work. The subject includes introductory information and tutorials about the problems of operating conditions in the laboratories of the Institute, about work safety and temporally possibilities of experimental works with respect to the educational capacity. In further course of time every student works separately: he secures the special literature and Standards, according to the orientation of his work and he acquaints himself with technical parameters of laboratory equipments and with the progress of working procedures on special apparatuses. After finishing this theoretical preparation it is possible to start the experimental work following the individual assignments. The methodical procedures are consulted with respective heads of work and the same goes for the realization of laboratory tutorials and training. The guarantor and the tutelage of the subject secure the coordination of educational and laboratory works including the inspection of laboratory technique and apparatuses suitability.
