COURSE OVERVIEW

 This practical, 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. 

 

All over the world, the number of Infrastructures Waterfront Structures, Bridges and marine structures, requiring rehabilitation is increasing at an alarming rate. Addressing this problem consumes an ever-growing percentage of government budgets. Bridges need to be rehabilitated for variety of causes, such as deterioration due to environmental effects, the need to carry heavier vehicular loads, or deficiencies in the original design or construction. 

 

Those responsible for maintaining structures need keep abreast of the latest techniques available for assessing the condition of their structures, as well as the methods and techniques for repairing or strengthening them. At this seminar you focus on the technical aspects of concrete rehabilitation, such as the use of bridge inspection equipment, condition survey procedures, and the latest, practical methods of repairing and strengthening existing bridges. You are also expected to case studies and design examples. The course will be an excellent exposure of the international Design Codes with respect to structure evaluation, rehabilitation and the use of fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) technology in infrastructure repair. 

 Also presenting practical and economical methods for evaluating, inspecting, strengthening and rehabilitating Infrastructures Waterfront Structures, Coastal Protection, Bridges and marine structures. Code limitations, new technologies for protection and repair processes. 

 

This course is designed to provide civil and structural engineers/supervisors with professional knowledge, design codes, standards, and specifications, detailed design procedure with sample calculations for infrastructures, waterfront structures, coastal protection and bridges. It covers the drainage systems and methodology for drainage systems design; the design return periods, rainfall study and drainage elements; and the concept of drainage report for the storm drainage at Khalifa towns, storm drainage – sewage systems, design formula, material of pipeline and velocity limits. 

Further, this course will also discuss the culverts and bridges covering shapes and material of construction of culverts, hydraulic analysis and structural analysis; the calculation of straining action; the protection works, design and classification of bridges; designing the retaining walls; the structural loads and straining actions; the coastal structures, coastal engineering, sea walls and break waters; and the groins and jetties, delta coasts and muddy coasts, density currents, berthing and mooring and layout consideration. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the functional classification of roads, design controls and criteria; the rural and urban arterials, collector roads and streets, pavement and road-cross sections/components; the road construction techniques; and the airport geometry, design considerations, airport pavements and environment assessment.
