EXPECTED RESULTS
Participants will be able to read and understand the tables of decay and to recognize  buildings to be consolidated; to quote surfaces, volumes and weights; to identify correct materials and equipment to be used; to decide the chronology of operational phases; to mix blend of different types of mortars; to make a correct site lay-out (with temporary propping and support works); to rebuild parts of degraded masonry in stone and brick.
TEACHING METHODOLOGY 
The teaching methodology of the course foresees that in each module will be a real  alternation between transmitted knowledge and experienced knowledge; at each moment of theoretical learning will follow a moment of direct involvement of the students oriented towards practical application and critical reflection
