Summary
The subject Industry and Building Construction II. covers the issue of protection of buildings against the radon, buildings situated in undermined area and buildings in flood area. The subject also covers the possibilities of protection of buildings against the radon from the subsoil and from building materials, against the negative effects of undermining and against the effects of flood wave.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The aim of the subject Industry and Building Construction II. is to manage the issue of protection of buildings against the radon, buildings situated in undermined area and buildings in flood area. It also covers the possibilities of protection of buildings against the radon from the subsoil and from building materials, against the negative effects of undermining and against the effects of flood wave.
Course Contents
Syllabus of lecture:
1. Protection of buildings against the radon. Radon properties. Basic concepts  the radon decay constant, the radon diffusion length, radon index of the plot, radon index of the building, constructions of the 1., 2. and 3. category of impermeability. Sources of radon  subsoil, building materials, water.
2. Protection of buildings against the radon. Protection of buildings against the radon from subsoil. Design principles of protection of new buildings at low, medium and high radon index of building.
3. Protection of buildings against the radon. Protection of buildings against the radon from subsoil. Design of the radon-proof membrane.
4. Protection of buildings against the radon. The protection of residential areas in existing buildings when the radon concentration in interior C < 600 Bq/m3, 600 Bq/m3 ≤ C < 1200 Bq/m3 and C ≥ 1200 Bq/m3.
5. Protection of buildings against the radon. The other possibilities of reducing the radon concentration in interior. The protection of residential areas in existing buildings against the radon from the building materials and from the water.
6. Buildings in undermined area. Effects of underground excavation on the surface. Continuous deformation of the ground. Drop basin parameters. Theory of drop basin. Mining conditions. Discontinuous deformation of the ground. Application of parameters of deformation of the ground on buildings. Categorization of sites.

9. Buildings in undermined area. Effect of lean and curvature of the terrain on rigid and pliable constructions. Assurance of brick and sectional constructions. Reinforced concrete skeletons in undermined area.
10. Buildings in undermined area. Steel constructions in undermined area. Halls and crane runways. Optimal bearing structures and arrangement of cramps.
11. Buildings in undermined area. Underground structures in undermined area. Principles of protection of objects of mining organizations.
12. Buildings in undermined area. Rectification of buildings. Assurance of existing buildings. Removal of mining damage.
13. Buildings in flood area. Basic concepts  flood wave, speed of water flow, depth of flood wave, flood damage etc. Structural principles for designing buildings in flood areas.
14. Buildings in flood area. Loading of buildings during the flood wave. Modifications of existing buildings.
15. Buildings in flood area. Redevelopment of buildings after the flood.
