COURSE OVERVIEW

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 the Advanced Inspection, Assessment and Repair of Concrete Structure. It covers the concrete structure types and materials and design principles of concrete structures; the mechanisms of concrete deterioration, early signs of damage and aging and codes and standards in concrete assessment and condition assessment process; the visual inspection and documentation, nondestructive testing (NDT) methods and semi-destructive testing techniques; the reinforcement condition assessment and the durability and service life evaluation; and the structural health monitoring (SHM). 

 

During this interactive course, participants will learn the root cause analysis of structural defects; the selection criteria for repair materials and corrosion control methods; the structural strengthening techniques, quality control in repair projects and concrete surface preparation techniques; the injection and crack sealing technologies and rehabilitation of large structures; the execution planning and sequencing and safety in concrete repair works; the cost estimation and budgeting for repairs and assessment report preparation; the structure and content of condition reports, visuals, grading severity and urgency of repairs and recommendations and prioritization; the performance evaluation of repairs and the use of drones and AI in inspections; and the sustainable and green repair practices.
