This seminar offers a comprehensive and in-depth examination of the practices and procedures used to evaluate the structural condition of existing structures. It aims to cover a wide range of aspects related to structural evaluation. The seminar provides state-of-the-art information on visual inspections, destructive testing, nondestructive testing (NDT), and hands-on experience. It is especially valuable for individuals involved in the evaluation of concrete, masonry, wood, and metal structures.

Course Objectives:

Plan and conduct a condition survey for concrete, masonry, wood and metal structures.
Develop a condition survey inspection checklist.
Design a materials evaluation program for your structural condition assessment projects.
Select the best destructive and nondestructive testing techniques for your projects.
Identify the limitations of various nondestructive testing techniques.
Understand more about NDT equipment through handson experience.
Diagnose problems and assess strengths and weaknesses of structural materials.
Evaluate test data statistically.
Learn how to effectively interpret and use destructive and nondestructive test results.
