Restoration of typological buildings: a practical course on diagnosis, design and interventions (with CFP)

|

Emma Potter

The degradation of buildings – from humidity to infiltrations, to structural failures and deterioration of facades – represents one of the main critical issues in the management of the existing building stock. Intervening effectively today requires an integrated approach that brings together diagnosis, design, choice of materials, safety and regulations.

Objectives and recipients of the course

The training course offers operational guidance based on construction site experience, with the aim of helping professionals – in particular surveyors, architects, technicians from design and construction management studios, companies, Public Administration technicians, condominium administrators and technical consultants,
safety professionals (CSP, CSE, RSPP), maintenance operators and facility managers – to:

  • identify the causes of the most frequent deteriorations (humidity, infiltrations, degradation of materials, structural problems);
  • choose the most effective restoration techniques based on the building type;
  • correctly evaluate materials, costs and application methods;
  • integrate interventions with current regulations, building bonuses and CAM;
  • design durable, safe and verifiable solutions over time.

The course – held by Andrea Bagni, a civil structural engineer specialized in composite reinforcement systems and technical assistance to designers – is structured to provide immediately applicable skills, from the diagnostic phase to the definition of the intervention.

Contents and structure

The course consists of two training days (live online, but with the possibility of reviewing the recording at a later time), dedicated to the main building typologies:

  • Condominiums and buildings in reinforced concrete: the most widespread construction techniques are analysed, the problems linked to the durability of the materials, the critical issues of the facades and humidity (rising and infiltration), up to the seismic aspects and the most appropriate technical solutions. Particular attention is paid to the choice of materials and the regulatory framework.
  • Single-family houses and masonry and wood buildings: the course delves into the specifics of single-family buildings, with a focus on the breathability of masonry, degradation of materials, seismic problems and intervention techniques on masonry and wood structures.
  • Public buildings and safety: a specific module is dedicated to public buildings (schools, hospitals), with attention to the safety of attics, the prevention of the anti-overturning of infills and the management of frequent critical issues such as asbestos and legionella. The Minimum Environmental Criteria (CAM) and the methods for drafting the CAM report are also analysed.

Accreditations

The course is accredited for the continuous training of Architects (6 CFP) and Graduate Surveyors and Surveyors (6 CFP).
