Introduction
Training course introducion / brief
This course is designed to provide participants with a comprehensive understanding of materials used in construction, with a specific focus on composite materials and the testing equipment necessary to evaluate them. The course covers the functions, properties, and performance of various construction materials such as concrete and composite materials, along with the relevant standards and technical requirements. Participants will also gain hands-on experience in testing methods, using modern testing equipment to assess material strength, durability, and suitability for different applications.
Course Objectives
At the end of the training course, participants will be able to
- Understand the role and importance of different materials in construction.
- Identify the types of concrete and their applications.
- Implement testing procedures for composite materials and concrete.
- Operate and differentiate between various testing equipment, including tension and compression testing devices.
- Analyze test results to evaluate material performance in construction projects.
Course Audience
Who is this course for, and can benefit the most
- Civil engineers, materials engineers, and construction professionals.
- Quality control/quality assurance professionals involved in material testing.
- Technicians working with composite materials and testing equipment.
