COURSE OVERVIEW

 

Efficient concrete structural design, maintenance and reliability analysis for industrial projects and process facilities require engineers to synthesize theories and practices. The aim of this course is to present concrete structural design, maintenance and reliability analysis in a systematic manner with the structural systems and essential subsystems including crane runways, industrial floors, reinforced concrete tanks, steel tank footing & foundation, columns, piping & pipeline support blocks and foundations & footings for rotating equipment such as compressors, pumps, generators and motors. 

 

The course will discuss essential concepts of strength, stability, maintenance, reliability and safety of concrete structures for industrial projects and process facilities. Connections and anchorage required for assembling a safe and serviceable structure will be enumerated. The design intricacies of various structural elements associated with industrial plants will be reviewed and analysed. Mass concrete and mat foundation designs utilized in the industrial facilities will be investigated. 

 

 

 

The course will cover the various structural design procedures by illustrating them with numerical examples similar to those typically encountered in design offices. Structural failures, collapses, maintenance and reliability will also be discussed.  The course will conclude with case studies and exchange of ideas including the application of the concepts learned during the course. 

 

Participants will attend a unique course that covers problems and solutions involved with the design, maintenance and reliability analysis of concrete structures for industrial projects and process facilities. They will benefit from a broad range of topics covered, with procedures and real-life practical examples.
