Degradation processes and durability of building materials

Summary

The subject is focused on diagnosis of building materials and structures. The course provides an overview of the processes of degradation of building materials and methods for their identification. The theoretical findings are complemented by examples of practical applications. Students will gain skills in building testing in the design and implementation trvanlivostních tests. The course is designed for students of building materials, conservation, building survey and remediation design, architecture.
