Objective

Humidity efect on building construction behaviour, causes of rising damp, measure of building construction humidity, building-moisture survey processing, aplication of adittional reduce humidity methods, analysis of action biotic factor on building constructions, desing and realization measure against radon infiltraion into the reconstruction objects.

Knowledge

Student will be able to elaborate a project documentation for design sanitation of the building including constuctively-hygric exploration and biotic exploration. Student is also able to accomplish proposal method for sanitation of the building in relation to realized facts.

Syllabus

1. Basic theoretical knowledge of saving technics of building. Causes rising damp of building objects.
2. Humidity transfer in building construction. Humidity measurement methods of building construction.
3. Humidity survey of building objects. Project documentation for saving moisture masonry.
4. Modern mechanical savings methods.
5. Infusion curtain method for saving masonry. Electro-physical methods of saving moisture masonry.
6. Saving methods based on flowing air, saving coat. Methods of bulding measures.
7. Problems with plinth adjustment.
8. Protection of reconstruction objects against radon infiltration.
9. Partition reconstruction. Ceiling reconstruction.
10. Chimney renovation and reconstruction.
11. Adittional anchorage of building construction.
12. Reconstruction of flat roof.
13. Building objects protection against biological factors.
