Anotace
The course Technology of Concrete and Mortars provides students with comprehensive knowledge of the development of concrete and cement concrete, their classification according to bulk density, and their applications in construction. On this basis, students develop comprehension of cement concrete as a composite material and of the relationships between its composition, structure, and resulting properties.
The course further focuses on analysis of the required properties of individual components of concrete and mortars, including aggregates, binders (cement, lime, sulfate binders), water, and reinforcement (soft, prestressed, and dispersed). Students learn concrete mix design methods and can apply these approaches using unit volume calculations, the Bolomey and Kennedy methods, and the voidness overfill coefficient v.
Instruction also includes analysis of technological processes such as mixing, transportation, and compaction of fresh concrete, as well as formwork and curing of setting and hardening concrete. Acquired knowledge is synthesized when comparing technological differences between mortar and concrete production.
In the final part of the course, students perform evaluation of hardened concrete properties, including strength and elasticity characteristics, permeability, durability, and resistance to chemical agents. This also includes assessment of testing methods and basic economic aspects of concrete and mortar production.
