COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes real-life case studies and exercises where participants will be engaged in a series of interactive small groups and class workshops.
This course is intended for civil engineers who are interested in the area of inspection, assessment and repair of concrete structure. The course is designed to develop skills of participants in effective specifications and production of concrete. It will cover the basics as well as the advanced concepts of up-to-date technology of concrete structure inspection, assessment and repair.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the concrete structure service life; the structure, properties and causes of concrete and reinforcement of concrete damages; the design of durability, damage assessment, ultrasonic pulse velocity, coring and monitoring movements; the carbonation induced corrosion on building facades and elevated walkways; the surface treatment techniques and additional preventive measures; the assessment of corrosion affected structure; the concrete mixes and specifications; the reinforced concrete monitoring techniques; and the principles of rehabilitation of concrete including the methods of rehabilitation.
