Course Introduction
As cities grow older, they inherit a wealth of buildings that have economic, functional, and heritage values, and yet their uses may need to change. Human knowledge is enhanced, and thus their vulnerability to extreme events is better understood, and sometimes changes may need to be made in their structure to adapt to new uses. In all of these cases, structural engineers are called upon to make an assessment of the current condition of the structure and to advise on what type of intervention is needed to ensure safety, functionality, and economy of such alterations.
The purpose of the course is to provide participants with a fundamental and practical understanding of the condition assessment of concrete structures and concrete repair and strengthening methods
Course objective
- Have an overview of the types of motivations for evaluation of existing concrete structures, and outline the processes to be followed to make such evaluations. Such motivations range from the need to change use or re-plan to the situation where signs of distress in those buildings are detected
- Learn that evaluations of existing structures start with understanding the new criteria which the structure is to be measured against and is then followed by testing of the existing properties, which in turn is followed by analysis to determine whether the set criteria are met.
- Gain solutions using traditional materials, such as steel and concrete, are discussed.
- Testing and inspection techniques of engineering materials
- The workmanship in building construction
- The critical characteristics of a given structure
- The types and causes of common deficiencies (even failures) of structures
- How to explain methods of observation, instrumentation, and testing
- The workout preventive measures to counteract the deterioration of structures
- How to comprehend workable temporary and permanent repairs for any particular structure
- Non – destructive evaluation (NDE) for the steel and welding
- The capability to inspect the finishing work activity
- Testing and inspection for road construction
- The ways and skills for the inspector
Course audience
- Civil engineers.
