Base Knowledge
Construction details sketching; Construction Materials; Elementary chemistry and physics.
Teaching Methodologies
In classes, the expository method is used and reflection on subjects introduced from the perspective of widely accepted criteria in conservation is encouraged. Interventions that illustrate the resolution of several real practical cases are also presented by the teacher.
In some classes, of a more tutorial type, students are monitored in the preparation, individually or in groups, of practical diagnostic and intervention proposal work.
Learning Results
Objectives: Repair and rehabilitation of buildings with various construction systems, old and newer.
Generic Skills: Application of knowledge and understanding; judgment and decision making; self-learning;
Specific Skills: Acquire knowledge and ability to understand the field of repair and rehabilitation of old and recent buildings, the identification and assessment of various types of degradation, as well as the main techniques for repairing and strengthening various construction elements; skills in diagnosing and identifying construction pathologies, supervising and conducting works.
