Objectives
Understand the fundamental concepts of observation and monitoring of constructions.
Understand the objectives and importance of testing and monitoring constructions for inspection and diagnosis of anomalies and evaluation of the behavior of buildings throughout their useful life.
Identify appropriate techniques for testing and structural and durability monitoring depending on the type of material, structural system and state of conservation.
Program

Evaluation Methodology
In all evaluation periods, the final classification will be obtained through the weighted average of a mandatory work, consisting of two parts, the classification is the average of the classifications obtained in each of the parts ((T1+T2)/2) with the weight of 50% and a written test consisting of two parts and the classification the average of the marks obtained in each of the parts ((P1+P2)/2) with a 50% weigh.
For approval, it is necessary to obtain a minimum classification of 8 values out of 20 in each of the components (of the work and the written test) and a total classification greater than or equal to 9.5 values
