Course Goal / Objective
The aim of this course is to introduce appropriate repair and strengthening techniques for structures damaged under earthquake and other structural loads, and to enable students to develop engineering solutions aimed at enhancing the strength and safety of these structures.
Course Content
-Causes of damage and types of damage in structural systems -Principles of repair and strengthening -Traditional and modern repair techniques -Repair and strengthening methods for reinforced concrete, steel, timber and masonry structures -Strengthening of structures under earthquake effects -Performance assessment of existing structures -Techniques such as FRP systems, steel plate and concrete jacketing -Structural isolation and seismic isolators -Design and implementation principles -In-situ strengthening practices and field examples
Course Precondition
Graduating from the Department of Civil Engineering
