In the course the students are acquainted with the problems of building materials, especially based on binders - cement, plaster, lime, magnesium mortar, hydraulic lime and alkaline activated materials. Further with the properties of the composites prepared from the binders, admixtures and fillers. Features such as shrinking, durability, sustainable development options are discussed.
