In the first part of the lecture, basic knowledge of building materials and types of construction that are no longer commonly used today is taught. This includes masonry arches and historical roof structures as well as hollow core slabs and reinforced concrete structures that were reinforced with steel I. Special features of the structural analysis of existing buildings, the evaluation of interventions in the load-bearing structure and the design and dimensioning of reinforcement measures are dealt with in detail.

After an introduction to the methods of damage assessment and documentation, the second part of the lecture explains typical damage patterns and their causes. Building on this, the topics of assessment and repair of cracks, supplementation of material loss, repair and replacement of overloaded components as well as questions of structural-physical repair are dealt with in detail.
