Monolithic construction IS-FCEE-00111

Lecture: The process of monolithic works - simple and auxiliary processes. Formwork - classification, requirements, errors in the selection of formwork. Special formwork, e.g. tunnel, lost, ACS. Preparation of the concrete mix - concrete mixing plants (division and characteristics). Modern mobile concrete plants. Long and close transport of concrete mix. Conditions for laying concrete. Pressure of the concrete mix for formwork. Concrete compaction. Special concreting methods (spraying, underwater concreting, two-stage). Concrete care in winter and summer conditions. Concreting of massive structures and diaphragm walls. Nanotechnology in concrete. Concrete mix recycling.
Design exercises - a project for comparative analysis of variant solutions of monolithic slab formwork.

Assessment criteria

Lecture: informative lecture, problem lecture
Project: project method, discussion in working teams

Completion of the lecture: written form, you can get from 0 to 100 points. The range of points corresponding to a given grade is given in the rules of passing.

Passing the project:
The basis for receiving a positive assessment is the performance and written defense of the project.
The basis for obtaining a satisfactory grade is obtaining a minimum of 51 out of 100 points possible to obtain (both for the project and for its defense).
The final grade consists of:
- grade from the design exercise - 50% (weight)
- project defense - 50% (weight)
