COURSE OVERVIEW

This practical and highly-interactive course includes practical sessions where participants will visit reinforced concrete structures. Practical sessions will be performed in order to apply the theory learnt in the class. 

While reinforced concrete is a durable material used for a wide range of construction projects in civil engineering, certain factors must be considered during its design, construction, and maintenance. This includes a variety of conditions impacting strength and performance relevant to specific structural systems, and the application of numerous codes. This course discusses both traditional and new systems in concrete structures, outlines the advantages and disadvantages of each system and its importance to construction durability and reliability, and presents the latest advanced materials and construction techniques currently used in reinforced concrete structures. 

 

This course is designed to provide delegates with a detailed and up-to-date overview of advanced materials for construction and repair of concrete. It covers the concrete strength, dimensional stability and durability of concrete; the classifications, specifications and characteristics of hydraulic cements, aggregates and admixtures; the procedures and methods of proportioning concrete mixtures, concrete curing, testing and controlling concrete quality; the characteristics of various types of concrete; the other advanced concrete technology and the methods of repair and rehabilitation of damaged concrete.
