Construction Pathology — Diagnosis and Repair of a 30-Year-Old Building

Decide repair-vs-rebuild for Edificio Las Acacias (Bucaramanga, 1996, 24 apartments). Read carbonation, half-cell, RCPT and crack-width data; specify CFRP, epoxy class and surface preparation; defend the plan to a copropiedad assembly under NSR-10 Title A.10.

4 rounds MBA & Masters English, Español

Who it is for

An intermediate simulation for participants who already know the core concepts of the subject, designed for master's and MBA programmes.

How a session runs

  1. The instructor creates a session from the Eureka dashboard and invites the participants.
  2. Participants play 4 rounds. In each one they submit their decisions and the simulation calculates the results.
  3. The simulation can be run in English, Español.
  4. The instructor follows each participant's progress and results from the dashboard, and uses the class results for the debrief.

Decisions participants make

The decisions participants make during the simulation:

  • Inspection depth (1 = visual only · 5 = full instrumented protocol)
  • Beams flagged as ACTIVE deterioration (out of 36)
  • Strategy for the carbonation front beyond the visible spalling
  • Intervention path
  • NSR-10 Title A.10 stance (current evaluation: 62% of demand, Zona 2)
  • Repair-vs-rebuild ratio you computed (repair cost / replacement cost, %)
  • Surface preparation grade (ICRI CSP, 1-9)
  • Epoxy injection class
  • CFRP fiber tensile strength target (MPa)
  • Access multiplier on overhead, stairwell and occupied-apartment work
