Structural Safety: Inspection and Intervention

This lecture covers the methodology for verifying structural safety, using new technologies for interventions, and examines a residential building in Morges. It discusses the SIA 260 standard definitions, the absence of required properties, and material deterioration. The case of a Geneva building evacuation due to structural weakness is analyzed, questioning how it stood for half a century. The importance of monitoring, assessing material conditions, and checking structural elements' dimensions is emphasized, along with environmental actions and maintenance considerations.
