Advanced basic studies
The following modules are offered in the advanced basic studies:
BIW2-18 - Fundamentals of hydraulic engineering infrastructure
The students can independently carry out planning of moderate complexity using the example of a hydraulic engineering infrastructure. Within the framework of this implementation, they illuminate hydraulic engineering, construction management, construction material, geotechnical and steel construction aspects. They are able to define the necessary boundary conditions for the planning of a hydraulic engineering facility and take these into account in the design against the background of an interdisciplinary approach. The students know the essential requirements from the relevant regulations and can assess the requirements of interdisciplinary cooperation for the respective planning task.
BIW3-02 - Mechanics of materials in solid construction
Students have in-depth knowledge of the strength, deformation and fracture behaviour of concrete under tensile and compressive stress, the occurrence of constraining and residual stresses as a result of changes in temperature and humidity, and creep and shrinkage. OPAL
BIW3-03 - Steel construction, timber construction and application of fracture mechanics
In addition, the students have in-depth knowledge of the formation and growth of cracks in steel and timber components. They know the approaches of fracture mechanics and the experimental determination of fracture-mechanical characteristic values. They are also able to apply fracture mechanics principles in steel and timber construction standards. OPAL
BIW3-04 - Geotechnical analysis, rock mechanics, tunnelling and construction materials engineering
Students are able to carry out and assess stability verifications for geotechnical engineering structures. They know the basics of mechanical rock behaviour and the properties of building materials commonly used in geotechnical engineering. They know rock characterisation for the purposes of tunnel construction, are familiar with the essential procedures of underground construction and can evaluate important phenomena of rock behaviour.
