Aims
To learn to design the masonry structures, to set up their mathematical models, to elaborate static calculation and technical drawings according to the valid recommendation and standards.
To control the correct technology at constructing the masonry structures.
A student gains these knowledge and skills:
• Virtue for designing masonry structures, setting up their mathematical models, elaborating static calculation and technical drawings according to the valid recommendation and standards.
• The ability to control the correct technological methods at masony structures constructing.
