Basics of experimental measurement and instrumentation of testing structures. Theory of experimental work, measurements, data exploatation and processing of results. Structures and principal behavior of testing devices, tenzometers, inductive senzors etc. Static and dynamic loading testing of structures and their parts. Destructive and nondestructive testing methods. Diagnostics of civil engineering structures. Excursion on site or on the building structure. Concept of management of quality, system of quality of the building firms, phase of control of the quality of the projects, building process and finished structures. Acreditation process of the testing laboratories. Certification of the quality systems of production and certification of products.

Condition for exams - finished homeworks from laboratory and finished laboratory report. Obligatory presence in education.
