Learning outcomes
KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
The course aims to improve the knowledge of techniques for the structural rehabilitation of reinforced concrete, masonry and mixed masonry-reinforced concrete existing buildings, with particular focus on seismic issues. The course objective is that of training engineers able to work in the framework of the structural retrofit, maintenance and management of existing buildings.
CAPACITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
The student gains skills necessary to identify structural problematic aspects of complex building systems, and to suggest appropriate design solutions for the rehabilitation. The necessary skills, critical judgment and capacity for choice, are developed through lectures, including specific practical examples, in conjunction with an optional designing exercise carried out individually or in groups.
TRANSVERSAL SKILLS:
The designing exercise helps to improve the self-learning skill, the ability to communicate results and to generalise the acquired knowledge. Furthermore, an active involvement in the teamwork is developed.
