Course objectives:
|
Students will be acquainted with progressive procedures of building construction including legislative requirements. Progressive construction technologies aim at time and economic savings, minimizing environmental impacts, reducing dependence on manual physical work and dependence of modern building construction on climatic conditions to achieve the required standards of durability, reliability and individual builder entitlements.
|
Requirements on student
|
Requirements for credit:
Elaboration of semestral work.
Requirements for exam:
Active knowledge of lectured and exercised subject matter and the ability to apply it in the solution of specific problems.
