CO4201 Strengthening and Retrofitting Historic Structures Syllabus – Anna University PG Syllabus Regulation 2021
OBJECTIVES:
To introduce various interventions in conservation related issues
The objective is to understand solutions for repair and strengthening of structural system of historic structures and also upgrading them to cater to the contemporary demands and needs.
To provide rescue measures and techniques to strengthen the historic buildings
The detailing of appropriate options of intervention will lead to making of an implementable document. Case studies of completed projects shall be evaluated towards quantification and quality.
To introduce adaptive reuse methods and retrofitting techniques
