Lectures:
Bases of the chemical thermodynamics. Bases of the metallurgy. Electrochemical corrosion of steel. Corrosion of the reinforcement in concrete. Atmospheric corrosion. Fundamentals of designing steel constructions due to the corrosion threat. Gas corrosion of metals. Microstructure of hardened cement and concrete. Corrosion of concrete under the influence of acid gasses. Carbonation of concrete. Corrosion of concrete under the influence of water solutions. Influence of the corrosion of concrete on the permanence of the reinforced concrete. Designing frost-resistant concrete. New materials in waterprotection. Microbiological corrosion of steel constructions.
Laboratory exercises:
Implementing exercises (regulations of the laboratory studio, provisions of the health and safety at work, scope of laboratory exercises, conditions of credits of exercises).
Examining of the course of corrosions of metals.
Protection of steel against the corrosion with protective coatings.
Examining the hindering effect of inhibitors on the steel corrosion in acids.
Examining corrosion resistance of mortars and concrete in solutions of aggressive substances.
Examining the depth of carbonization and the pH of concrete.

Assessment criteria
Conditions of ranking the lecture: ranking the final test and an oral exam for the positive evaluation, where the final evaluation constitutes the resultant of evaluations from the final test and an oral exam in proportion 50 / 50.
Marking scale:
5.0 - demonstrating controlling itself over 90 % of material of lectures,
4.0 - demonstrating taking control of 71-90 % of material of lectures,
3.0 - demonstrating taking control of 51-70 % of material of lectures,
2.0 - lack of mastering material of lectures in over 50 % discussed contents.
Conditions of doing the laboratory: performing all laboratory exercises predicted in the program and handing in reports being subject to an evaluation of each of exercises, ranking the final test for the positive evaluation; the final evaluation constitutes the resultant of evaluations from individual exercises and the final test in proportion 50 / 50.
Marking scale:
5.0 - demonstrating big involving in preparing and carrying planned laboratory exercises and exemplary drawing up and the production in the character of reports of achieved results, taking control over 90 % of material of laboratory exercises,
4.0 - preparation, realization, drawing up and presenting results of planned exercises in the form of reports in the rank not waking bigger stipulations up, taking control over 71-90 % of material of laboratory exercises,
3.0 - the sufficient preparation for classes, the correct realization and drawing results of planned exercises up in the form of reports, taking control over 51-70 % of material of laboratory exercises,
2.0 - lack of the minimum of the knowledge required for classes, arrears in the realization and drawing results of planned exercises up, a full complement of reports is missing, minimum 51 is lacking the self-control % of material of laboratory exercises.
