Module content:
The selection of suitable building materials is of major importance when planning buildings. Selection criteria include technical and mechanical requirements, but also aspects of economic efficiency, environmental compatibility, durability and aesthetics. Safe and economical construction requires knowledge of the properties of the building materials used and their mutual compatibility. Particular importance is attached to the behavior of building materials under construction site conditions, taking into account planning and execution in line with processing requirements.
