Teaching objectives: Pathology and rehabilitation of structures" refers to the field of study that involves assessing the health and condition of buildings, bridges, and other architectural elements, identifying any structural issues or deterioration, and then developing strategies to repair, restore, or rehabilitate them. This area of expertise is crucial for maintaining the safety and longevity of infrastructure, ensuring that structures remain functional and structurally sound over time. It encompasses various techniques and methodologies to diagnose problems, evaluate their severity, and implement effective solutions to extend the lifespan of buildings and infrastructure.
Recommended prior knowledge: Construction materials, reinforced concrete, structural steelwork.
