Renovation & Strengthen of Structures
- Introduction to repair concepts,Strengthening and service life of structures
- condition assessment of concrete and steel existing structures,seismic resistance,evaluation of resistance of structures in plan and height and repair of soft floor,evaluation of systems resisting earthquake such as shear wal,Bracing,Bending frames
- Strengthening of existing structures against seismic loads,Methods and strategy for strnghening of non symetric structures,Strenghening of bending frames,bracings,diaphragms,Shear wall,Foundations and joints
- deterioration mechanisms,Corrosion of reinforcement in concrete,Sulfate attack in concrete
- Evaluation methods for deteriorated and dameged structures using nun destructive techniques (NDT)
- Different types of repair materials,Cement based mortar,Pllymer modified mortar,epoxy resin mortars
- Compatibility of repair materials with concrete substrate in terms of shrinkage and modulus of elastisity
- repair techniques in concrete structures,repair with shotcreting,Cracks repair
- Project:Two projects on materials and repair and evaluation of concrete structures and seismic analysis of a strucure and designing its earthquake resistance
