Summary
Students are acquainted with the problems of suitable and effective application of rehabilitation technologies in building structures and structures. Students will learn the principles for designing effective measures for the removal of defects and defects in building structures in order to extend the life of buildings or restore their function. The practical part of the course is focused on acquiring the skills to solve adequately the specific remediation intervention on the unsatisfactory building structure, as well as on the laboratory skills to verify the efficiency and durability of selected remediation technologies.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
Students will theoretically acquire the normative principles and criteria for the design and evaluation of remediation technologies. Particular attention is paid to deepening knowledge of building structures in the context of evaluation of causes of defects and failures. The practical part of the course is focused on acquiring knowledge and skills in solving specific problems of rehabilitation of damaged and unsatisfactory building structures and objects.__________________________________
