Non-structural Rehabilitation

Recommended Prerequisites

Building Physics / Construction Technology

Teaching Methods

Lectures aimed to the systematization and organization of knowledge and methodological approaches.

The theoretical and practical classes- although there are no clearly difference from them - intended for the analysis of case studies presented by the students in the light of knowledge and adopted methodology.

 Students will develop a small project based on the observation of real situations that they will propose.

Learning Outcomes

Observe, identify and describe existing constructive solutions in facades and roofs with evaluation of their expected performance in a specific functional context.

Observe, describe and record non-structural anomalies in the existing construction solutions in facades and roofs.

Diagnosing non-structural anomalies in the existing construction solutions in facades and roofs and in other building elements.

Define strategies for rehabilitation for a wide number of non-structural anomalies, displaying capacity for basic research and experimentation, for the definition of rehabilitation techniques and materials.

 Prepare summary reports of pathology and rehabilitation.
