Training Course Overview
Buildings are engineered for long-term durability, but various factors like corrosion and the gradual weakening of concrete can impact their performance. These elements may lead to different levels of deterioration. Additionally, issues with the design of the superstructure or the interaction between the substructure and soil foundation can also cause damage. A comprehensive understanding of the factors affecting structures is essential to prevent many problems and enhance the longevity of buildings. Structural engineers play a crucial role in assessing the current condition of the system and recommending solutions that ensure safety, efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. This Durability of Reinforced Concrete Structures training course will cover Assessment, Repairs, and Risk-Based Inspection.
This training course will feature:
- The main properties of fresh and hard concrete
- Reasons of cracks and its solutions
- Knowledge of destructive and nondestructive tests
- Soil mechanics and its classification and problematic soils
- Precautions to be considered for changing the use of the building
Training Course Objectives
By the end of this training course, participants will be able to:
- Know the different forms of reasons for evaluating existing concrete structures, as well as the procedures for doing so
- Know how new live loads would need to be investigated if a residential building is to be used as offices and statistical data on maximum wind speed or maximum snow accumulation becomes available
- Learn the effects of seismic activity and the need to evaluate the resistance of old buildings
- Learn the techniques for assessing and retrofitting fragile systems
- Examine buildings that have been subjected to such severe results, as well as know the guidelines for repair and the manufacture of robust concrete
- Learn the traditional materials such as steel and concrete
Designed for
This training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals but will greatly benefit:
- Construction engineers
- Design structural engineers
- Supervisors
- Maintenance Engineers and Planners
Learning Methods
This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. This includes case studies, lectures, group work, discussion, and presentation.
