Subject syllabus:
Students will learn about the basic physical-mechanical properties, composition and structure of building materials. The emphasis in the subject is also placed on sustainable development with the maximization of the use of rapidly renewable sources of materials and recycled materials in accordance with the concept of circular economy, students are also introduced to completely new materials. Part of the subject is also familiarization with the binders of building materials, including alternative ones, and basic terms from the field of the most common building silicate structural materials, especially from the field of concrete or ceramics.
