Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
As cities grow older they inherit a wealth of buildings that have
economic, functional and heritage values and yet their uses may need to
change, human knowledge is enhanced and thus their vulnerability to
extreme events are better understood and sometimes changes may need to
be made in their structure to adapt to new uses. In all of these cases
structural engineers are called upon to make assessment of the current
condition of the structure and to advice on what type of intervention is
needed to ensure safety, functionality and economy of such
alterations.The purpose of the courseis to provide participants with a
fundamental and practical understanding on condition assessment of
concrete structures and concrete repair and strengthening methods
Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
- Have an overview the types of motivations for evaluation of existing concrete structures and to outline the processes to be followed to make such evaluations. Such motivations range from the need to change use or re-plan to the situation where signs of distress in those buildings are detected
- Learn that evaluations of existing structures start with understanding the new criteria which the structure is to be measured against and is then followed by testing of the existing properties which in turn is followed by analysis to determine whether the set criteriaare met.
- Gain solutions using traditional material such as steel and concrete are discussed.
- Testing and inspection techniques of engineering materials
- The workmanship in building construction
- The critical characteristics of a given structure
- The types and causes of common deficiencies (even failures) of structures
- How to explain methods of observation, instrumentation and testing
- The workout preventive measures to counteract deterioration of structures
- How to comprehend workable temporary and permanent repairs for any particular structure
- Non – destructive evaluation (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

COURSE METHODOLOGY
Our Training programs are implemented by combining the participants' academic knowledge and practical practice (30% theoretical / 70% practical activities).
At The end of the training program, Participants are involved in practical workshop to show their skills in applying what they were trained for. A detailed report is submitted to each participant and the training department in the organization on the results of the participant's performance and the return on training. Our programs focus on exercises, case studies, and individual and group presentations.
Since 2001, we have been pioneering the training field in the middle east, we managed to unlock potential and help individuals, teams and organisations to be the best that they can be with our full and integrated solutions.
