- The implementation of foundations.
- Subsurface layers.
- The implementation of cementing.
- The implementation of asphalting.
- The implementation of paving
- The implementation of tests on foundations and pavements.
- The construction of sewerages.
A student team will make a profound study and elabrated presentation on a certain subject regarding this cours.
Part II:
Lectures and demonstrations.
Study - company - and building site visits.
Prerequisites
The student must have:
- A general technical training.
- A scientific training
- A basic knowledge of construction.
- The student must have succeeded in the courses: "Construction of buildings", "Road constructions", "Water constructions", "Construction materials", "Stability"
.
Final Objectives
The student must be able to:
- Choose and explain the appropriate implementation method for every foundation tchnique.
- Indicate and motivate the appropriate blind technique.
- Understand and explain the implementation of a construction ( masonry and concrete ) to the workes and building lords, choose independently the appropriate implementation method, starting from the concept of the construction.
- Recognise the masonry bond and explain its implementation.
- Read, understand and create the technical implementatin plans ( reinforcement plans, formwork plan ... )
- Choose and explain the appropriate implementation method for road foundations and pavements.
- Recognise, propose and explain testing methods.
- Become acquainted with the field of action
