Theoretical lectures are compulsory for full-time undergraduate students in Years 1-3. Students are required to attend more than half of the lectures each semester. It is mandatory to attend at least 80% of the exercises and complete all scheduled laboratory work.

Study subject aim

Introduce students to products manufactured for building construction, introduce them to their structure, production principles and properties, as well as an understanding of the main methods used to study products and the ability to apply these products in construction according to their purpose.

Study subject description

Loads of various purpose products are used in building construction, each of them made from different raw materials using specific manufacturing processes. Produced products are characterized by unique properties. These properties are determined using standardized and reliable methods. Considering all of this: product properties, purpose, end-user’s expectations, building materials are used for various purpose building construction and good health creation. Obtained knowledge and skills will help to not get lost in the vastness of available information and make reliable decisions when working in the building industry. Students are required to complete all scheduled laboratory work. Theoretical lectures are compulsory for full-time undergraduate students in Years 1-3. Students are required to attend more than half of the lectures each semester.

Study subject aim

To introduce basics of probability theory and mathematical statistics, to train a student to use obtained knowledge for solving of real world problems.

Study subject description

The point and interval estimates of unknown parameters. Statistical hypothesis testing, elements of correlation theory, regression.

Students must attend at least 60% of the time scheduled practical works, 80% of the time scheduled laboratory works (full-time studies and part-time, distance learning studies) and 50% of the lectures (only full-time studies).

Study subject aim

To introduce students with production technologies of construction products, classification of production processes, organization of the production process.

Study subject description

Certain production technological operations are used in the production of construction products. These operations can be typical, found in many production technologies, or they can be atypical, characteristic only for a certain production. The subject contains a classification of production processes. It is about the principles of the organization of the production process. The fundamentals of the design of the production technologies and the processes taking place in them are examined. It is about the organization of production of construction products and the tasks and goals of the manufacturing company.

Study subject aim

Ability to understand the structure of inorganic and organic compounds and chemical processes when solving issues related to the production and use of construction materials, and to apply theoretical knowledge in practice.

Study subject description

The rational use of materials in construction is based on chemistry. It’s the synthesis of theory and practice that helps understand the chemical structure of construction materials and raw materials, explaining chemical phenomena and processes in the manufacturing and use of construction materials and products. The subject also includes a broader understanding of the types and composition of construction materials, mechanisms of chemical reactions, and physicochemical transformations during production and use. Students are required to participate in no less than 70 percent of the practical sessions as scheduled.

Study subject aim

To provide knowledge about the main technological processes, their characteristics and their fire safety.

Study subject description

The subject is designed to examine various concretes and reinforced concrete, their characteristics and their use. The properties of concrete mixtures and their determination methods are analyzed in detail. Technologies for forming concrete and reinforced concrete products are analyzed.

Study subject aim

To introduce with the used construction product quality control system and its components.

Study subject description

In construction, countless different construction products are used. They are all produced using different raw materials using different technological processes. Each manufactured product has its own quality characteristics, which are presented in regulatory documents. This subject discusses the main regulatory documents for construction products and presents the main qualitative characteristics that are determined by standardized test methods. It discusses how the quality control of the products used in construction is carried out during production and during presentation to the consumer, as well as what information the buyer of the product receives together with the product.

Study subject aim

After completing this course, students will be able to analyze, develop manufacturing technologies for construction products and select equipment based on empirical knowledge and research.

Study subject description

In the production of various construction products, technological processes take place during production, from the delivery of raw materials to the factory to the storage of the manufactured product. The main technological processes are divided into: mechanical, hydromechanical, thermal and mass exchange processes according to the regularities defining the process. Thus, the course examines technological processes and equipment for them.

Study subject aim
