Assessment, Evaluation and Repair of
Reinforced Concrete Structure

The assessment of the reinforced concrete structure is now a main challenge to the civil engineer. The repair of the reinforced concrete structures has developed in the recent years due to the new technology of the materials and the techniques of maintenance and repair.

This PetroKnowledge training course will present the methods of inspection and evaluation of buildings and will diagnose the reason of concrete deterioration or the corrosion of the steel bars to develop preventive maintenance program. The causes of structure deterioration will be discussed in deeply and concentrate on the reason of corrosion and new protection methods to the steel bars. The repair of the reinforced concrete structures recently developed by using new materials will be discussed theoretically and practically, its advantages and disadvantages and how to use the suitable method.

The preventive maintenance strategy with its target and plan in scope of economic point of view will be illustrated in this course, as well as the background of the new software used in the area maintenance management system.  Risk based inspection technique will be presented in scope of likelihood of building failure, consequences of failure and the building risk matrix.

This training course will feature:

• Assessment and evaluation technique for concrete and steel structures
• The importance of inspection and testing activity
• Applying the inspection and testing in many construction areas
• Focusing on practical and theoretical ways of inspection
• How to integrate new inspection technique into the work domain

By the end of this training course, participants will be familiar with:

• Testing and inspection techniques of engineering materials
• Workmanship in building construction
• 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

This PetroKnowledge training course is suitable to a wide range of professionals

• Architects
• Engineers
• Practicing Building Construction Inspectors
• Project Engineers
• Technicians and Technologists involved with building maintenance
• Contractors and Building Owners

This training course will utilise a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative. The illustration will depend on videos and photos.
