Summary
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The course focuses on technologies and processes of materials analysis and measuring methods useful in building diagnostic. The analytical part is focused on classical as well as modern methods of chemical and structural analysis of materials with a narrow focus on the degradation processes of building materials. The aim of the diagnostic part is to get acquainted with the methods of measurement of displacements and deformations in building structures. iIt will also marginally addressed the temperature issue.
