Durability of Reinforced Concrete Structures: Assessment, Repair and Risk-Based Inspection Course
Introduction:
The training course on Assessment, Evaluation, and Repair of Reinforced Concrete Structures aims to provide participants with the knowledge and skills necessary for inspecting and evaluating buildings. The course will focus on diagnosing the causes of concrete deterioration and corrosion of steel bars in order to develop effective preventive maintenance programs.
During the course, there will be in-depth discussions on the various factors contributing to structural deterioration, with a specific emphasis on the causes of corrosion and the implementation of new protection methods for steel bars. Theoretical and practical considerations will be explored regarding the repair of reinforced concrete structures using innovative materials. Participants will gain insights into the advantages and disadvantages of these new repair techniques and learn how to select and apply the most suitable method for a given situation.
