Competencies and objectives
Course context for academic year 2024-25
The subject of "Pathology and Rehabilitation of Works" proposes to train students in the most important concepts related to pathology in civil works and their rehabilitation. For this, in a first phase, the main physical-chemical degradation processes of concrete, their development mechanisms and prevention methods will be considered. Fundamentally of the main pathology associated with EHA, which is the corrosion of the armor. Numerous practical cases of pathologies are presented below. Higher education is essential in order to provide the future engineer with the necessary tools that allow him to be aware of and knowledgeable about the problem of pathologies in EHA and acquire skills for correct action.
