Civil Engineering

Summary

The subject Construction provides students with basic knowledge of building materials and technologies used in the construction of buildings. The curriculum is divided into three main areas: civil engineering, transport engineering and water engineering, each of which is analysed in terms of design, construction solutions and technological processes. In the introductory part, students are introduced to the properties and use of building materials such as concrete, steel and timber. Then, the course focuses on the principles of building design, including foundations and basic structural systems of buildings. In the area of transport structures, emphasis is placed on the design and construction of roads, railways, bridges and other transport structures. The last part of the course is devoted to water management structures, where students gain a basic understanding of water management structures such as dams and weirs.
