Category	Theoretical-methodological
Scientific or art field	Građevinski materijali, procena stanja i sanacija konstrukcija
ECTS	4

Acquiring knowledge about basic types of structure damage after catastrophic events and fire, as well as about methodologies and methods for the assessment of the actual state and safety of the damaged structures.

Acquired knowledge is used in professional courses and in engineering practice. The student is competent for the use of different non-destructive and destructive methods of examination, registration and classification of defects and damages, identification of the cause for the appearance, and for rough estimation of the state and safety of the structures after catastrophic events and fire.

Destructive and non-destructive methods of examination (equipment, procedures, application possibilities). Classification and manifestation of damage on the structures after catastrophic event (fire, earthquakes, explosions, floods, overload, etc.). Examination methodology and assessment of the structure. Technical regulations. Examples of examination and damage assessment of the structures.

Within lectures, presentations in the form of photographs, tables, diagrams, formulas and highlighted texts-definitions are used to explain the course content of the syllabus to the students. Short topic movies are also presented. Within laboratory practice, students can see and independently carry out non-destructive examinations. During auditory practice students are presented with different structures which were assessed with an objective to better understand methodology, data processing and methods of making conclusions. During the semester, part of the exam may be taken in the form of two colloquiums. The examination is oral.
