Survey and evaluation of the structural condition of building structures. Types of survey and diagnostic methods, tools used, methodology, criteria. On-site surveys and laboratory tests. Surveys of masonry, wooden, concrete, and steel structures. Surveys of damp masonry, thermal-technical, and microbiological aspects, including the health safety of materials Students will be able to analyze and evaluate manifestations of structural defects and failures, determine their causes, assess the structural condition of structures and buildings, and propose remediation, reconstruction, and restoration of buildings.
Students: 1. Systematically and critically assess the structural condition of buildings. 2. Conduct surveys and diagnostics of buildings both independently and as part of a team. 3. Is familiar with relevant legislation, codes, and technical standards. 4. Communicate professionally and accurately with investors, designers, and other stakeholders. 5. Develops the ability to collaborate across disciplines in the remediation and restoration of buildings.
