GENERAL OBJECTIVES
THE COURSE AIMS TO TRAIN SPECIFIC SKILLS REGARDING THE BEHAVIOR OF MATERIALS IN TYPICAL CONSTRUCTION CONDITIONS OF USE.
PROVIDE IN-DEPTH KNOWLEDGE OF THE CHEMICAL-PHYSICAL AND THERMODYNAMIC MECHANISMS OF THE MAIN DEGRADATION PHENOMENA OF BUILDING MATERIALS.
DEVELOP THE APPROPRIATE TECHNOLOGICAL SKILLS FOR THE CORRECT CHOICE OF SOLUTIONS AIMED AT PREVENTING DEGRADATION AND RECOVERY INTERVENTIONS.


EXPECTED LEARNING OUTCOMES AND SKILLS TO BE ACQUIRED:

KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
THE STUDENT WILL LEARN THE TERMINOLOGY USED IN THE IDENTIFICATION OF DEGRADATION PHENOMENA, DIAGNOSTIC AND REHABILITATION TECHNIQUES OF DIFFERENT CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS.


ABILITY TO APPLY KNOWLEDGE AND UNDERSTANDING:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
- UNDERSTAND AND IDENTIFY THE DEGRADATION PHENOMENA OF BUILDING MATERIALS;
- UNDERSTAND THE DIAGNOSTIC RESULTS
- UNDERSTAND THE EFFECTS OF RECOVERY TECHNIQUES.

INDEPENDENT JUDGMENTS:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
- CHOOSE THE MOST APPROPRIATE DIAGNOSTIC TECHNIQUES;
- IDENTIFY POSSIBLE METHODS OF INTERVENTION IN THE CONTEXT OF RECOVERY TECHNIQUES
BUILDING MATERIALS.

COMMUNICATION SKILLS:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
- EXPLAIN THE PROBLEMS WITH THE CORRECT TERMINOLOGY;
- EFFECTIVELY EXPLAIN THE PROPOSED SOLUTIONS AND THE RELATED REASONS
- COLLABORATE WITH OTHER PROFESSIONALS TO CARRY OUT RECOVERY INTERVENTIONS

LEARNING ABILITY:
THE STUDENT WILL BE ABLE TO:
- BE ABLE TO INDEPENDENTLY LEARN THE COMPLEMENTARY NOTIONS FOR THE IMPLEMENTATION OF
NEW SOLUTIONS.
Prerequisites
FOR THE ACHIEVING OF THE COURSE AIMS IT IS REQUIRED THE BASIC KNOWLEDGE OF MATERIALS TECHNOLOGY.

Teaching Methods
THE COURSE IS STRUCTURED INTO THEORETICAL LECTURES AND EXERCISES BOTH IN THE CLASSROOM AND LABORATORY.
PRACTICAL PROBLEMS WILL BE PROPOSED IN THE FIELD OF THE ANALYSIS OF THE DURABILITY OF MATERIALS. LABORATORY EXPERIENCES WILL STRENGTHEN THE CONCEPTS ACQUIRED.
LECTURES ARE PROVIDED IN CLASSES IN THE PRESENCE OF STUDENTS.
IN PARTICULAR, THE COURSE IS STRUCTURED IN 45 HOURS OF THEORY, 15 HOURS OF EXERCISES/LAB ACTIVITIES.
ATTENDANCE IS 70% MANDATORY AND WILL BE MADE KNOWN ELECTRONICALLY OR BY THE TEACHER. ACHIEVEMENT OF THE REQUIRED PERCENTAGE OF ATTENDANCE WILL BE VERIFIED BY ACTUAL PARTICIPATION IN WORKSHOP ACTIVITIES.
Verification of learning
THE ASSESSMENT OF THE PREPARATION WILL BE PERFOMED AT THE END OF THE COURSE BY AN ORAL INTERVIEW WHICH IS INTENDED TO CHECK THE LEVEL OF LEARNING AND THE DEGREE OF COMPREHENSION OF THE ARGUMENTS. THE ASSESSMENT IS BASED ON THE LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE ACQUIRED, ON THE CORRECTNESS OF EXPRESSION AND TERMINOLOGY, AND THE ABILITY TO CONNECTING CONCEPTS.

IN ORDER TO PASS THE EXAM, STUDENTS MUST AT LEAST BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY THE CAUSES OF DETERIORATION OF BUILDING MATERIALS AND POSSIBLE PREVENTION AND RECOVERY STRATEGIES.
THE LEVEL OF EXCELLENCE CAN BE REACHED BY STUDENTS WHO SHOW TO BE ABLE TO ADDRESS NON-STANDARD PROBLEMS OR NOT SPECIFICALLY PRESENTED DURING THE LECTURES, WITH PARTICULAR REGARD TO THE CORRECT APPLICATION OF THE CORRELATIONS BETWEEN STRUCTURE, CONSTRUCTION AND DURABILITY.
