Course content

Basic principles for construction work in rock and soils. The course has four parts, construction engineering, geotechnical engineering, road construction and VA technology.

Learning outcome

Knowledge

  • The candidate should be able to account for the principles of road construction and the requirements that are laid down and the basis for quantity calculation.
  • The candidate should know the principles of drilling and blasting of rock, knowing the subject and knowing about different types of construction machinery. Must know the principles of rock work overground and underground.
  • The candidate should be familiar with the construction of the VA network.
  • The candidate should know common piping materials used in the VA system.
  • The candidate should be familiar with the general requirements for the construction of a VA pipeline.
  • The candidate will understand the structure of the soil and the geological processes that take place.
  • The candidate will understand the use of soil as building engineering material and could see geotechnical problems.

General competence

  • The candidate has skills in the use of professional sources, professional methods, as well as standards for planning, engineering, management, operation and maintenance in construction engineering.
  • The candidate has insight into the importance of good practice and the life cycle perspective of the plant.
  • The candidate has insight into how we base and calculate how interference in the terrain affects the safety of the construction industry.

Learning methods and activities

Teaching as well as emphasis on work requirements / exercises between the collections. The working methods vary and may include lectures, group work, discussions, presentations, etc.

Compulsory assignments

  • 80 % participation
  • Lab work

Further on evaluation

Portofolio (30%) and written exam (70%). The portfolio will contain small individual project and exercise work in the topics of construction engineering, road construction, water and sewerage engineering and geotechnics.

The four topics include construction engineering, road construction, water and sewerage engineering and geotechnics range from textual tasks to some calculations / drawing.

50% of the work is delivered until gathering 2 and the rest produces until the exam as everything is delivered together for grading. It will be possible to improve upon preliminary submissions before the final submission of the whole portfolio.

Questions are answered at the meetings and regularly by email.

Everything is delivered together at Inspera one or two days before the exam.

50% of the work is delivered until gathering 2 and the rest produces until the exam as everything is delivered together for correction and grading.

In case of resit exam, the written exam may be changed into an oral exam.
