Concrete Structure Designing for Industrial Projects

Introduction

This course will introduce you to state-of-the-art technologies and methodologies for designing and specifying concrete subjected to extreme conditions.

Objectives

    At the end of this course you will be able to:

    • Understand the basics of quality concrete construction
    • Provide design details to minimize concrete deterioration
    • Develop project specifications to improve concrete durability
    • Fully utilize the latest technology in concrete materials and construction methods
    • Reduce potential conflicts in specifications
    • Understand quality assurance methods for concrete
    • Recognize and solve potential problems with concrete construction

Training Methodology

This is an interactive course. There will be open question and answer sessions, regular group exercises and activities, videos, case studies, and presentations on best practice. Participants will have the opportunity to share with the facilitator and other participants on what works well and not so well for them, as well as work on issues from their own organizations. The online course is conducted online using MS-Teams/ClickMeeting.

Who Should Attend?

This course is intended for engineers who design concrete structures exposed to harsh environments such as bridges, roadways, plazas, parking structures, marine structures, or any building with exposed concrete.
