Manual contents

Hull, laminate, core and bulkheads describe parts of an architecture. The lesson separates material, structural organisation and individual condition through a layer drawing and two fictional histories. A visible blister or crack does not independently establish a diagnosis.

Reports and interventions retain date, location and scope. Theory supports professional conversations without authorising measurement, repair, sizing or structural acceptance.
