Renovation, Rehabilitation and Building Maintenance

Building Physics
Chemestry Fundamentals

Teaching methods: The expository method is used and the critical spirit is encouraged. Group and individual exercises are solved. Students are invited to participate actively in class.

Acquisition of essential notions on all conservation activities and understanding the tasks inherent to the various stakeholders; acquisition of specific knowledge about the main degradations, their manifestations, their identification and probable causes; acquisition of skills in scheduling inspection tasks; carrying out inspection and diagnostic tasks and filling in anomalies; construction of maintenance programs and supervision of these tasks.

Theoretical Component:
1. Fundamental Concepts.
1.1. Comprehensive building concept.
1.2. Concept of building life-cycle.
1.3. Concept of Renovation, Rehabilitation and Maintenance.
2. Brief notions about the current state of conservation theory and its elementary principles.
3. Basic concepts on technical criteria for rehabilitation.
4. Deterioration of major structural materials.
5. Deterioration of the main coating materials.
