FAST-BJA013Acad. year: 2020/2021
The principles of concrete building elements manufacture. Classification and marking of elements, methods of production, typifying, in site production and production line manufacture. Legislative and the concerning standards for the production and for market introduction.
The main production system of building elements and the subsystems classification of by-production. Unloading, transport and storing of materials – aggregates, powder materials, steel, half - finished products and admixtures in concrete. Steel reinforcement manufacture - straightening, cutting, welding, reinforcement baskets manufacture.
Concrete mixture preparation - dosing of components, conveying of fresh concrete, recycling of fresh concrete. Preparation of manufacturing moulds- moulds and moulds parts design. Special moulds.
Preparation of moulds for further operations - cleaning, separation paintings, moulds rectifying, prestressing of reinforcement.
Forming and compacting – storing of concrete mixture and reinforcement, compacting, acceleration of concrete hardening, final treatment of shaping, storing, dispatching.
Prestressed concrete elements - prestressing methods, kinds and utilization of prestressed elements.
Surface treatment of elements. Ceramic - concrete elements. Products for canalization, pavement, other concrete products manufactured by pressing-, vibrating- and centrifuging technology.

Aims
The aim of study is to acquaint the students with basic systems of prefabricated building units production for home, residential, industrial, engineering construction and roads building. The students are step by step acquainted with partial problems of prefabricated elements production (transport, storing of input raw materials, manufacture of concrete, production of reinforcements, and production forms. The student will get detailed information concerning compacting and hardening acceleration of concrete. Partial technological operations will be described for manufacture of individual building elements production technology, including machinery
