Evaluation, Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings as per ACI-562 Course
Introduction:
Each constructed structure has a specific lifespan, which is influenced by construction practices, quality of workmanship, and various other factors, including the materials used.
Signs of deterioration in a building or any structure become apparent in the early stages. Repairing such damage without proper understanding of its nature can be highly costly.
Course Objectives:
The purpose of Evaluation, Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings as per ACI-562 course is to provide training with: Basic and practical methods on concrete repair technology, repair materials, and predict damage.
- Durability of concrete is an important factor, which affect the concrete strength and further leads to damage of the structure, thus proper understanding of the durability factors is a must to prevent damage.
- Repair and rehabilitation adds a huge amount to a cost of a structure, so proper guidance and training is required to use the methods effectively and bring down the cost of the project.
- The purpose of this course is to prepare a trainee to make a decision, whether repair is required or not.
