Teaching
This Chair introduces students to the material parameters and basic behaviour of materials for solid building constructions, and provides fundamental knowledge about foundations and soil mechanics in the field of Geotechniques.
Construction Materials: The students learn about the interrelation of materials, construction and design, material's properties, production processes and how various building elements are realized in various materials.Students will be enabled to assess the appropriate use of materials and select various materials and combined systems according to the technical requirements.
Geotechniques: The Chair focuses on the study of physical properties of soils, their relevance in soil mechanical behaviour as strength, compressibility, stability and drainage. The students will get a fundamental insight in basic soil mechanical properties and processes, and how these are used in geotechnical engineering practice, in construction and excavation works.
Workshop Training: Here the students are introduced to basic principles and practices of building materials. The practical training shall provide an understanding of the material's properties, production processes and how various building elements are planned, joined and executed in common construction systems.
