SE0382(AD6) : Knowledge of Materials, Composite Materials & Testing Equipment

 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 designed to provide participants with a detailed and up-to-date overview of Knowledge of Materials, Composite Materials and Testing Equipment. It covers the non-structural materials, relevant specifications for materials and design parameters of materials; the materials used in concrete, steel construction, protection of concrete, steel structures and their specification; the materials specification, structural members and steel technology; the physical and mechanical properties of concrete and reinforcing steel; the basic mechanics of reinforcement and matrices; and the materials related to problems, laminate theory and fire proofing. 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the standards and building regulations for fire proofing; the techniques for fire proofing; the importance of mix design and concrete mix design; the manufacturing processes and practical consideration in developing QA/QC systems; the advanced composite materials including its components, advantages, disadvantages, types and applications; the fracture processes and toughness of composites, interfaces in composites materials and modelling of the processing of fibre composites; the failure criteria and fatigue; the woven composites – structure and behavior; the notches and joints and the effect of stress concentrations; the Impact and environmental effects; and the field testing and testing equipment.
