Advanced Concrete Technology

INTRODUCTION

This Advanced Concrete Technology training course is designed to provide participants with a deep understanding of newly developed concrete materials as well as the repair materials commonly utilized in both new construction and the rehabilitation of existing structures. The training course will cover essential test methods, technical specifications, and troubleshooting strategies to address common issues that arise when working with these advanced materials.

Concrete is widely used across the globe for a variety of applications, ranging from infrastructure projects to residential developments. To enhance the properties of concrete, recent advances in material science have led to the creation of innovative concrete materials and admixtures that can replace or improve upon traditional concrete materials. These new materials are highly beneficial for both constructing new structures and repairing existing ones. However, if not properly applied, they can potentially cause more harm than benefit or prove ineffective in achieving the desired outcomes.

Throughout this Advanced Concrete Technology  training course, participants will acquire crucial knowledge about these advanced concrete materials, including the appropriate tests that should be conducted to assess their effectiveness. They will also learn how to interpret test results and identify key factors to consider when reviewing technical specifications. The training course will further explore the advantages and limitations of each material, enabling participants to make well-informed decisions on their application in various projects. By the end of the course, delegates will be fully equipped to apply advanced concrete technology in practical scenarios and optimize their use in both construction and repair contexts.
