Previous Knowledge

Technical and Degree qualifications in the Construction and Building sector (architects, building engineers, technical architects and surveyors, civil and industrial engineers, public works, etc.)

Objectives

The student assimilates a high level of theoretical and practical knowledge in aspects of diagnosis, the methodology for the detection of injuries as well as the historical-constructive knowledge of traditional systems.

- To train professionals in the field of rehabilitation with a high level of theoretical - practical knowledge in aspects such as diagnosis, intervention techniques and injuries of the constructive elements of traditional systems (ceilings, vertical elements and foundations)
- Acquire technical knowledge and methodologies for energy diagnosis and rehabilitation
- Encourage work in interdisciplinary teams made up of professionals involved in the architectural heritage, encouraging the exchange of knowledge between the different technicians.
- Be aware of the values ​​of heritage protection and critically use modern materials and construction processes so that they are compatible with traditional materials and the heritage character of the building.
- Orient towards the business sector that manages this discipline: organisms, local administrations and companies of the sector.

DIAGNOSIS. METHODOLOGY AND GENERAL CONCEPTS
The diagnosis of the state of a building is based on a previous diagnostic methodology that allows the taking of data and the exhaustive knowledge on the building to intervene.
The different resources and existing prospecting techniques are essential to acquire an insight into the whole building. Constructive type guide.

DIAGNOSIS AND FUNDAMENTAL INTERVENTION TECHNIQUES
The problem related to the foundations has been present in the fact of building. The cause has been ignorance of the ground. The module is defined in three blocks. The first presents an analysis of the way cement is laid, from premodern construction to reinforced concrete. The second focuses on the methodology of analysis, also in the field. The third and final, in the need to emphasize and existing techniques.

FROM THE LOAD WALL TO THE PORTICADE STRUCTURE
Evaluation of the evolution of vertical structures, from cohesive load-bearing wall solutions to porticoed structures, and their differentiated structural behavior. It will also address not only mechanical but also physicochemical degradation injuries of the materials that make up the load-bearing structures.

- Diagnostic techniques
- Technical resources for diagnosis
- Verification tests prior to the rehabilitation work
- The fire in the diagnosis phase
- Demolition techniques prior to the intervention
- Measurements and budgets in the diagnosis
- Cases I and II

DIAGNOSIS AND INTERVENTION TECHNIQUES VERTICAL STRUCTURES
Evaluation of the evolution of vertical structures, from cohesive load-bearing wall solutions to porticoed structures and their differentiated structural behavior. The mechanical and physicochemical damage of degradation of the materials that make up the load-bearing structures is addressed.
- Diagnosis and intervention techniques in fundamentals
- Geotechnics and stressing techniques
- Intervention in load-bearing walls: risk analysis in reinforcement techniques
- Decreased loads and damage assessment
- Intervention in porticoed structures
- Chemical injuries of concrete
- Durability in concrete structures
- Resistance and compactness
- Cases II and III

Intervention in load-bearing walls.
- Intervention in porticoed structures.
