Synopsis:

Students will gain an overview of how to protect building structures from corrosion and other harmful influences such as UV radiation, acid rain, etc. Students will also learn about methods and technologies of surface treatment. The course consists of 6 lectures and 6 exercises. In the lectures, students will learn about both historical and more importantly modern surface treatments for different types of structures. In the exercises, students will perform a surface treatment on a fragment of a structure and will be able to check the quality of the work done by themselves in the last exercise by means of a tear-off test.
