Prerequisites
General knowledge of materials and traditional building techniques.
Objectives
On completion of this unit the students will be familiar with the pathologies and physical phenomena affecting the building structures and will be able to evaluate them. They will also know the materials and techniques for maintaining,regenerating and reinforce built structures.
Program
General mechanisms of degradation of materials and construction elements. Methodologies for inspection and diagnosis of anomalies. Pathologies of materials: concrete and wood. Pathologies and regeneration of the building envelope. Anomalies in coatings and wall finishes. Materials and techniques for the regeneration of buildings. Presentation of practical cases.
Evaluation Methodology
A written test (55%)and a practical project(45%). The project is a technical report based on regular on-site visits to regeneration works in course of execution or consists of a survey and study of the pathologies of a deteriorated building.
Bibliography
Teaching Method
Presentation of fundamental concepts. Presentation of projects and case studies that allow the student's critical intervention. Use of laboratory equipment available for anomaly detection. Field trips and technical sessions.
