The course of Rehabilitation of Structure is part of the master's degree program in Civil Engineering for Natural Risk Mitigation, which aims to train a civil engineer with high professional qualifications concerning the hydrogeological and seismic risk mitigation.
As part of the Master degree program, the course of rehabilitation of structures aims at providing the fundamental tools for the assessment of existing masonry constructions. The program includes the mechanics of masonry structures, the typical damage state, the methods for survey and field testing, and the design criteria and the technologies for structural rehabilitation.
