Risk Based Inspection and Maintenance for Reinforced Concrete Structure Course
Introduction:
Reliability should be a primary consideration in the development, design, and modification of systems. In order to include engineering, business, operations, and maintenance viewpoints into a comprehensive life cycle approach to asset and cost management, the attendees will employ useful tools. With the help of this course, structure failures may be prioritized and effective failure management plans and one-time repairs can be created to reduce the risk of losses in terms of productivity, safety, and quality.
Course Objectives:
This short course is intended to overview modern procedures in providing an optimizing maintenance plan for specific reinforced concrete structures or fleets of structures. In this course will teach you how to develop cost-effective maintenance plans for onshore concrete and steel structure and fixed offshore structure by focusing on the following key elements:
- How to apply the decision tree in conceptual design
- Introduction to assessment of the concrete structure
- Understanding Risk-Based Inspections
- Developing an In-service Inspection Plan
- How to implement a maintenance plan?
- The coaching to help develop your specific reliability-focused design strategy
- Understanding why structure fails
- Build on your knowledge of qualitative risk assessment methods to discover when and how to quantify the results
- Gain a clear understanding of the most critical aspects of your structure
Who Should Attend?
