Course detail

Technology of constructions I

FAST-SW01Acad. year: 2020/2021

·The task of construction engineering is to correctly design the building at first, as well as then to reasonably execute. The execution issues are the contents of the branch of construction technology. Technology deals with methods and procedures of optimum creation of construction production process. In order to model technology, time and source aspects, to optimise and successfully control these processes they should be learnt at first.
·The subject includes study of areas of construction processes linked especially with the main building production. Lay-out of buildings and built-up structures, principles of technological procedures and links at execution of technology phases of earth works, carcass substructure, carcass superstructure and external building claddings are in concern. Their technology, space and time structure, sequence, site readiness, mutual links and requirements both for quality and environmental impact.
