An Interactive 5-Day Training Course
Structural Renovation of Buildings
A Practical Approach to
Diagnose Concrete Deterioration
Course Overview
This Structural Renovation of Buildings training course will present methods for inspection and evaluation of buildings and diagnose the reason for concrete deterioration or the corrosion of the steel bars, to develop a preventive maintenance program. The renovation of reinforced concrete structures has become common in recent years due to the development of technologies, materials, and techniques for maintenance and repair.
The causes of structural deterioration will be discussed, concentrating on the reason for corrosion and new protection methods to the steel bars. All the repair and renovation methods will be covered theoretically and practically and discussed its advantages and disadvantages and how to use a suitable method. The case study explains practically who we can diagnosis the reason for deterioration and take the decision to repair and choose between different alternatives. Herein, the advanced material such as Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) will be illustrated for renovation and strengthening the structure in addition to the first principal of the design.
This GLOMACS training course will highlight:
- The new methods of structure diagnosis
- The new methods for structure renovation
- The materials that will be used in concrete structure repair
- Protection of the structure during the renovation
- The advanced material (nontraditional methods) for repairing and strengthening the structures
