A professional in strengthening and repair of construction needs a comprehensive knowledge of: the materials used (masonry, adobe, timber, steel, concrete and others); the geometric properties of the structures; the available diagnostic techniques for determining the physical and mechanical properties of the materials; the behaviour of the structural elements and the strengthening and repair techniques available for the different types of constructions. The advances in knowledge, over the last years, has shown an substantial appeal from the players in the construction industries and the surge of new materials and construction techniques. Recent statistics show a considerable growth in the investment on the strengthening and repair sector.
