The objective of the subject is the presentation of the diagnostic of existing structures with
different materials and structural systems, the possible causes of structural damages, methods of reinforcement and the most common building materials. According to this, the tools and steps of the diagnostic of existing structures, the verification of the structure’s load bearing capacity, the basic principles of qualification, the required content of expertise, the methods of reconstruction and reinforcement, the most common ways of structural damages (direct and indirect) and the different structural systems of existing residential buildings are presented during the semester. Case studies are also introduced.

Lectures, exercises, written and oral communications, application of IT tools and techniques, assignments solved individually.

The assessment of the learning outcomes specified in clause 2.2. above and the evaluation of student performance occurs via 3 tests.

Evaluation form	Abbreviation	Assessed learning outcomes
1. midterm test	ZH1	A.1-A.3; B.1-B.3; C.1-C.4; D.1-D.2
2. midterm test	ZH2	A.4-A.5; B.4-B.5; C.1-C.4; D.1-D.2
3. midterm test	ZH2	A.6-A.7; B.6-B.7; C.1-C.4; D.1-D.2

The dates of deadlines of assignments/homework can be found in the detailed course schedule on the subject’s website.

Abbreviation	Score
ZH1	50%
ZH2	50%
ZH3	50%
Total achievable during the semester	100%
Sum	100%

Criterion for completion of the subject is to collect the 50% of the points from the two better tests (15 points).

Signature can’t be obtained.

There is no minimum requirement for the individual tests, therefore the repetition of the tests is not possible.
