1-5

Objective

Occupational and environmental safety in construction
Students are able to manage the safe implementation of concrete and masonry work. Students can organise installation work and temporary supports with consideration for occupational safety.

Competence in the construction process
Students are able to take into account the importance of aftercare and formwork removal strength in concrete curing. They are familiar with the materials and operating principles of conventional masonry structures and the selection criteria for masonry units and mortar mixtures. Students recognize the operating principles of reinforced concrete structures and structural tensioning.
