Evaluation, Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings as per ACI-562 Course
Introduction:
The service life of any constructed structure is determined by factors such as construction practices, workmanship quality, materials used, and other relevant considerations. Over time, buildings and structures will inevitably exhibit signs of deterioration, especially during the early stages. Repairing a structure without proper understanding of the specific type of damage incurred can be a costly endeavor.
Course Objectives:
The purpose of Evaluation, Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings as per ACI-562 course is to provide training with: Basic and practical methods on concrete repair technology, repair materials, and predict damage.
- Durability of concrete is an important factor, which affect the concrete strength and further leads to damage of the structure, thus proper understanding of the durability factors is a must to prevent damage.
- Repair and rehabilitation adds a huge amount to a cost of a structure, so proper guidance and training is required to use the methods effectively and bring down the cost of the project.
- The purpose of this course is to prepare a trainee to make a decision, whether repair is required or not.
Who Should Attend?
The Evaluation, Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings as per ACI-562 course is suitable for: Contractors/ Construction Companies/Engineers/Anybody can take this course and learn how to prevent damage to a structure and how to repair your structure.
- You do not need to be an engineer to take this course, there are no mathematical equations in this course to study.
