In the Structural Rehabilitation studio, I learned how to assess and repair damaged structures to improve their safety, durability, and functionality. I gained both theoretical knowledge and hands-on experience, especially in identifying and analysing structural failures like cracks and defects. I worked with non-destructive testing methods, studied damage patterns, and explored retrofitting techniques to strengthen structural elements such as beams and columns. This learning experience taught me practical ways to extend the life of structures while addressing modern challenges in construction. It also helped me understand the importance of sustainable practices in preserving existing buildings.
