CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY I

Course Description

This course aims to provide graduate students with the necessary information related to Construction Technology in the construction industry, which will help them in their professional careers. This course develops engineering and professional concepts in students who aspire to facilitate construction projects. Students will study all the stages of the building and infrastructure project lifecycle, from design and planning through construction, operations and maintenance. The major areas of investigation in the course are planning, designing and constructing the project. Specifically following subjects will be concentrated on: Site work. Excavation equipment. Rock excavation. Protection of excavation. Lifting equipment. Transporting equipment. Soil compacting equipment. Masonry construction, and concrete construction. Many activities will be incorporated to demonstrate and reinforce the lessons.
