Synopsis:

Characteristic defects and failures of buildings, the analysis of load effects and influences in terms of the occurrence of failures, non-force effects and influences, cyclic effects, load history, mechanisms of failure of building materials and structures, degradation and corrosion processes, transport processes, time dependence properties and „building - environment“ interactions.

Note:

A newly conceived subject focused on the analysis and diagnosis of failures of historical load-bearing structures. The course will also include an excursion to one of Prague's historic buildings, supplemented by expert interpretation and a tour of normally inaccessible parts of the structure. If interested, a visit to the diagnostic laboratory and a demonstration of material testing is also possible.
