Practical civil engineering workshops

The practical construction workshops conducted by the Euromed Polytechnic School (EPS) in partnership with TGCC on 13 and 20 May 2023 for fourth-year civil engineering students focused on the sequence of operations related to the construction works of the university extension buildings (stadium stands, multipurpose hall, Olympic swimming pool, administrative building R+7…), as well as on major progress related to:

-    Masonry works (traditional bricks, concrete blocks, Monomur insulating bricks);
-    Floors (mainly sloped slabs, hollow-core slabs, post-tensioned slabs, precast slabs);
-    Metallic framing (profiles used, implementation processes…);
-    Drainage system around the buildings;
-    General organization of site management and technical language elements.

Various topics were thus addressed, including:

-    Concrete cracking and segregation;
-    Presentation of the articles of DTU 20.1 “Masonry works with small elements - Partitions and walls”;
-    Insulation and protection techniques;
-    The role of a QHSE manager and a site works engineer on construction sites.
