Version

3.0

Offered by

Civil Engineering

ECTS

5

Prerequisites

Main purpose

​The purpose of the course is to give the student a knowledge of the processes involved in the construction phase of a building project, including undertaking resource management for construction site layout, in situ cast concrete construction and precast concrete element construction.

Knowledge

​After completion of the course, the student must have knowledge about:
– Theory and methods for casting of in situ cast concrete constructions, such as formwork systems, reinforcement as well as choice of concrete according to environmental classes.
– Theory and methods for planning a safe construction site.
– Theory and methods to choose the crane type, size and location.
– Various concepts and methodologies adhering to the planning, design and assembly processes of the use of precast concrete elements in building projects.
– Various precast concrete element types, together with a review of typical key connection details and other drawings in connection with precast concrete building projects.

Skills

​After completion of the course, the student must be able to:
– Possess knowledge of different formwork systems (traditional form/system form) as well as be able to dimension/pick out these.
– Calculate formwork pressure from the concrete on vertical formwork.
– Calculate the required maturity of the concrete before the formwork can be dismantled.
– Possess knowledge of concrete production.
– Possess knowledge of to prevent damage to newly cast concrete.
– Perform planning for reinforcement work, such as choice of reinforcement type, environmental class, and apply rules for reinforcement placement in the formwork.
– Prepare cut and bending lists of reinforcement bars for carrying out reinforcement units.
– Perform planning of a safe construction site.
– To choose crane type, size and decide on a location for erection on the building site.
– Possess knowledge of the use of prefabricated concrete elements in building projects.
– Possess knowledge of the planning, design and assembly process. Associated with relevant concepts.
– Apply knowledge of precast concrete design processes to prepare drawing information for a precast concrete production and assembly.
– Demonstrate an understanding of the basics of building phases.

Competences

​After the course, the student will be able to apply knowledge and skills to:
- The students must present abilities of analyzing, argue, explain and exemplify within the scope of the 3th semester project.
– The course provides the students with a general ability to work with in situ cast concrete constructions and precast concrete projects as a project assistant on site for the construction site management.
– The course gives the students a basic knowledge about the contractors’ resource management in relation to construction projects.
– The student will acquire such a knowledge about in situ cast concrete construction and precast concrete element projects, which they can plan and carry out measures of various concepts and methodologies adhering to the planning of the execution of a construction project.

Topics

Teaching methods and study activities

The teaching method will be a series of presentations by the teacher, dialogue-based teaching between the students and the teacher, self-study, video exercises and guidance.

Main assignments are primarily associated with the semester project as well as small training exercises in class.

Tasks are solved in a PBL / Active learning environment where only teamwork is involved.
