Learning outcomes of the course unit

Providing the students with complete overview of function, principle and application of machinery and equipment in production of building materials. Individual machines from rocks mining, transportation, treatment, homogenisation up to transportation of raw materials into the plant itself are described. The subject deals with all machines for raw material processing in the production of mortars, raw ceramics, light building materials, concrete goods. The stress is laid on automation and robotics application in production of building materials.
The students will master the objective of the course, i.e. mechanization and automation in building industry, machines and equipment for earthworks, for transportation and assembly, concreting and masonry works and engineering works.

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of Fundamentals of mechanical engineering, soil mechanics, technology of construction processes, occupational safety in civil engineering.

Co-requisites
