Brief description

The economic success of a construction project is the focus of all considerations. This challenge is the decisive factor for the builder and the executing company. This premise is decisive for the choice of building materials, the optimal use of tools and the considerations in the calculation phase. Optimum implementation of a construction project can only be ensured by taking these points into account. The course builds on the construction process engineering course. Further knowledge, e.g. on special foundation engineering, formwork and bridge construction, is imparted. The basics of process comparisons (calculative and methodological) are taught and explained using examples, as well as independently calculated.

Teaching and learning outcomes

  1. Rules (DIN, a.a.R.d.T)
  2. Comparisons of procedures (e.g. methodical, calculation, utility analysis)
  3. Concrete construction Fresh concrete pressure/formwork pressure Formwork planning Deepening Formwork Bridge construction Procedures
  4. Civil engineering Compaction of soils Asphalt (basic principles, rules)
  5. Calculation ? Practical examples of civil engineering ? Schedule

Overall workload

The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

Remark on the assessment methods

The standard form of examination is the oral examination (alternative form of examination may be chosen by the examiner and then announced at the beginning of the course)

Knowledge Broadening

The students who have successfully studied this module understand the main aspects of formwork construction, special foundation engineering, masonry construction and calculation. The basics of relevant regulations and their application are taught. Always with the necessary practical relevance.

Knowledge Understanding

The students who have successfully studied this module know the crucial parameters for economic optimization and can apply them in practice. They know the basics of computer-supported formwork planning

They can plan formwork systems themselves and critically assess planned solutions. You are able to exchange ideas with experts in order to incorporate the boundary conditions of the process selection that need to be taken into account for the respective construction tasks into your decision-making.

They know the various formwork systems and their application (columns, walls, ceilings, special formwork). You have initial experience with computer-supported formwork planning. You know the associated contractual and technical regulations, e.g. for determining the fresh concrete pressure formwork. You are able to carry out methodical and calculative process comparisons in a targeted manner.

Application and Transfer

“Graduates can apply knowledge and understanding to activities or professions and develop or further develop solutions to problems in their specialist area.”

Academic Innovation

Students can design methods and procedures that are suitable for systematically working on and solving selected problems of communicative practice in and by organizations.

Communication and Cooperation

The students can present their work results orally and in writing in a clearly structured form.

Academic Self-Conception / Professionalism

  • develop a professional self-image that is oriented towards the goals and standards of professional action in professional fields that are primarily outside of science;
  • justify their own professional actions with theoretical and methodological knowledge;
  • can assess their own abilities, autonomously reflect on relevant creative and decision-making freedoms and use these under guidance;
  • recognize the framework conditions for professional action appropriate to the situation and justify their decisions ethically;
    reflect critically on their professional actions in relation to social expectations and consequences.”
