COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical and highly-interactive course includes various practical sessions and exercises.  Theory learnt will be applied using our state-of-the-art simulators. 

 This course is designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of advanced concrete technology. It covers the concrete technology and concrete design mix; the high strength concrete and high performance concrete; the special constituent materials and admixtures; the concrete quality control and construction practices for concrete in the Middle East; the concreting process in the Middle East hot environment; the precautions for different concreting operations in Middle East hot weather; and the standard test methods for non-conventional concretes and reinforcement. 

Further, the course will also cover the high strength concrete (HSC), slag (GGBS), fly ash and silica fume; batching and mixing high strength concrete; placing and compacting high strength concrete; the corrosion phenomena in steel bars; the chloride cause corrosion; the carbonation process and technical specifications for concrete and reinforcement; the sample concrete and reinforcement specifications; protecting steel reinforcement from corrosion by advanced materials; the non-traditional types of reinforcement used in concrete structures; and the galvanized and epoxy coated bars. 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the fiber reinforced plastic (FRP) reinforcement for concrete; the standard test methods for fresh and hardened special concretes; the rubber concrete, light weight concrete and concrete with fiber; evaluating the existing structure; the latex modified concrete; and the mix proportioning, mixing, placing, finishing and curing.
