SE0098 : Advanced Concrete Repair

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 Repair. It covers the performance-based concrete repair philosophy; the ACI 562 framework, repair versus replacement, service-life extension and asset integrity concepts; the concrete durability and material behavior, concrete deterioration mechanisms and concrete cracks and defects; the visual inspection, damage mapping, structural condition rating and digital reporting; the repair standards and specifications; the ACI 546R, EN 1504, ASTM testing standards and ICRI guidelines; and the structural evaluation techniques, advanced NDT techniques and destructive testing methods.
During this interactive course, participants will learn the corrosion assessment, root cause analysis, repair planning and method selection; the repair materials according to EN 1504 and epoxy and resin-based repair systems; the surface preparation techniques, crack repair techniques, concrete replacement and patching; the protective coatings and corrosion protection; the structural strengthening concepts and FRP systems according to ACI 440; the steel plate bonding techniques, jacketing and section enlargement, post-tensioning and external strengthening; the repair of specialized structures and the quality assurance and quality control, health, safety and environmental practices and repair failure analysis; and the preventive maintenance, durability monitoring, asset management and life-cycle planning.
