Synopsis:

Failures of building materials, mechanical, thermal, chemical and other influences on the development of failures of building materials. Diagnostics of their occurrence. Basics of experimental measurement and instrumentation of tested elements and structures. Theory of experiment, measurement and processing of results. Testing machines and equipment. Deformation measuring instruments. Destructive testing of mechanical properties. Non-destructive test methods. Test methodology for various materials (concrete, mortar, metallic elements, wood, glass, plastics, composites and others).

Requirements:

Preparation of a term paper on a selected topic.
