INTRODUCTION
This Advanced Materials & Technology in Concrete Industry training course will acquaint with newly developed concrete materials as well as the repair materials utilized in most repair works in concrete structures either for those needed during construction or for the rehabilitation of existing structures. It will also cover test methods and technical specifications for such materials as well as troubleshooting for their most common problems.
Concrete is used throughout the world for a wide range of applications. To enhance the properties of concrete, recent advances in material science present new materials or admixtures to be added to or replace conventional concrete materials. Such materials could be used in new concrete construction and/or in repairing new or existing structures. These materials could cause more harm than the benefit or at least be ineffective if not properly used.
The participants will know the necessary information about the different advanced concrete materials, what tests should be performed and how to interpret their results, what to look for in specifications, and define the advantage and disadvantages for each new material.
This GLOMACS training course will highlight:
- Advanced techniques in codes and standard
- Advanced materials in concrete construction
- New materials to increase concrete durability
- Advanced construction method to have a sustainable structure
- Advanced materials and techniques for concrete repair
- Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) in concrete structure repair and strengthening
- Corrosion protection up to date ways
Objectives
By the end of this training course, the participants will be able to:
- Familiarise with new project management approach for brownfield project
