Assessment of Site Condition of Concrete Structures and Evaluation of Repair and Rehabilitation Course
Introduction:
The primary objective of this course is to equip participants with comprehensive knowledge, skills, and expertise required to identify durability issues in concrete structures. Participants will develop an understanding of the root causes of these problems, evaluate the associated risks in both the short and long term, and gain proficiency in devising cost-effective and technically sound rehabilitation and repair strategies. The course places specific emphasis on addressing challenges related to concrete structures in hot and humid environments, ensuring participants are well-equipped to enhance the performance of such structures.
Course Objectives:
Specifically, Participants Will Learn How To:
- Identify Performance And Durability Problems Of Concrete Materials And Structures
- Conduct Field Monitoring And Non-Destructive Evaluation Of Concrete Structures
- Carry Out Forensic Assessment Of Deteriorated Concrete Structures
- Design Repair Strategies For Deteriorated Concrete Structures Including Repairing With
- Composites
- Design Stabilizing And Strengthening Techniques Of Reinforced Concrete Structural Elements.
