Course Discription |
:
Deals with studying the physical and mechanical properties of the historical building materials through exposing them to compressive and tensile forces. It will also discuss the mechanical properties of the soil, its types, and their bearing capacity through the study of the cracks and the failure of the external and internal walls. The technical solutions to the problems mentioned will be discussed. In order to choose the best solutions and restoration treatments the practical part will include lab tests to observe how building materials withstand static and dynamic forces. |
