Lectures (Week Content Ensures)
1 Assessment/evaluation of existing structures, philosophy, procedures (13822) BZK
2 Diagnostics of building structures typical for nuclear power plants, incl. cooling towers of the Itterson type and fan towers, including both the requirements of Czech technical standards and ČEZ's internal methodologies for nuclear power plants, especially the current Methodology ČEZ_ME_1173r00z3 "Assessment and assessment of the condition of concrete structures of nuclear power plants". THD
3 Diagnostic methods for testing concrete with an emphasis on the specifics of nuclear power plant structures - reflection hardness testers, ultrasonic method, pulse echo method, methods based on GPR and eddy currents, core drilling, and others. SZK
4 Principles and methods for rehabilitation of building structures typical for nuclear power plants, incl. cooling towers of the Itterson type as well as ventilators, chimneys, etc., follow-up to internal CEZ documents and related standards, especially ČSN EN 1504-2, ČSN EN 1504-3 and ČSN EN 1504-10, etc. THD
5 Witness samples – production of samples, sorting, time schedule, performance of non-destructive and destructive tests, evaluation criteria. SZK

7 Examples of assessment of selected types of structures, calculation methods, results (case studies) BZK
8 Assessment of load-bearing steel structures KDK
9 Reinforcement of load-bearing elements of KDK steel structures
10 Reinforcement of joints and connections of load-bearing elements of KDK steel structures
11 Assessment of NPP for load under extreme climatic conditions and assessment of seismic resistance, categorization of building objects, specifics of ETE and EDU, initial data and documents for assessment of seismic resistance of STM nuclear power plant
12 Modeling of building structures, global and local calculation models, procedure for design and assessment of structures with STM seismic load technologies
