Objective

Occupational and environmental safety in construction
The student knows how to manage the execution of concrete and masonry structures. They are able to organise the installation work and the construction of temporary support structures, attending to occupational safety.

Competence in the construction process
The student is able to acknowledge the effect of the follow-up steps and molding on concrete creep.
The student is familiar with the materials and mode of operation of usual masonry structures and the selection criteria for masonry units and mortar mixes.
The student is familiar with the reinforcements of different structural members and the structural instructions of on-site cast structural members and the basics of prestressing structures. The student understands the effect of the mode of operation of prestressed structures on building work. The student is able to acknowledge the requirements of building services engineering in the execution of the framework (penetration drawings).
