The project in five facts.
Challenge, approach and results.
Concrete is a mixture of water, aggregate, cement and chemical additives. It is used for various purposes and is an indispensable material in all types of construction. We therefore know concrete that is produced in a concrete plant, ready-mix concrete and concrete prepared on the construction site. He established that the site manager is responsible for the installation of concrete on the construction site, that the quality of concrete depends on several factors. He also established that the concrete design is made in accordance with regulations.
Problem
Concrete is a mixture of water, aggregate, cement and chemical additives. It is used for various purposes and is an indispensable material in all types of construction. We know different types of concrete, such as reinforced and unreinforced concrete, sprayed concrete, etc.
Likewise, concrete can be divided according to the place of preparation.
Solution and Method
We therefore know concrete that is produced in a concrete plant, ready-mix concrete and concrete prepared on the construction site. The type of concrete selection for an individual structural element of a building is chosen by the designer in the design phase. Responsibilities on the construction site are assumed by the site manager, the supervisor, the project manager and the construction site manager.
Each of them has their own task, and for successful management of the construction site, cooperation of all is important. In the theoretical part of the diploma thesis, concrete is described in more detail, without which we can no longer imagine modern construction. The ** components of concrete** are described (water, cement, aggregates and chemical additives), types of concrete and concrete curing.
Formwork for carrying out concreting works is also presented, and part of the chapter also covers responsibility on the construction site itself. In the theoretical part, he also described in one chapter the collaboration in a project group, which took place during his studies in the premises of Academia Institute of Technology in Maribor. In the empirical part, he focused primarily on the concrete design for a multi-residential building in Maribor.
He presented its constituent parts and described them in more detail. He also described the method of work organisation according to the established concrete design for the mentioned construction site. Likewise, in one chapter he described the concrete design for the foundation slab, which was specially made for the multi-residential building in Maribor.
The data are collected using the descriptive research method.
Results
He established that the site manager is responsible for the installation of concrete on the construction site, that the quality of concrete depends on several factors. He also established that the concrete design is made in accordance with regulations. In the empirical part, in the last chapter, he described the risks that occur when monitoring concrete on the construction site for the multi-residential building in Maribor.
During the research for the needs of the diploma thesis, he also established that risk on the construction site is present for all actors who are present on the construction site. For example, the investor takes risks with the selection of contractors, contractors take risks both in the use of materials and in the actual execution of construction works, both take risks in the selection of professional staff and other employees, whilst buyers take risks with the purchase of real estate due to financial instability in the market.
