The British Academy for Training and Development offers a comprehensive course of Evaluation, Repair and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings as per ACI-562. The course considers the principles in the ACI-562 Code for the application of evaluation to concrete structures. Attendees will learn identifying structural deficiencies, as well as deterioration cause analysis and consequent repair strategies for building damage. The course also offers a knowledge base of evidence NDT processes and modern advanced practice techniques for structural assessment. It further proposes the concepts of designing eco-friendly restoration applications alongside industry standard practices for concrete structures in isolation and improvement of retrofitting. This includes also awareness of the significance of material selection, quality assurance in terms of rehabilitation interventions and understanding sustainability practices. It trains attendees to implement cost-efficient rehabilitation projects and has a thorough understanding of compliance with the legal and safety realms of the ACI-562 Code.

Objectives:

The primary objectives of this course are:

1. To provide an in-depth knowledge of the evaluation, repair, rehabilitation of concrete buildings. 

2. To introduce the ACI-562 Code and its respective application in the repair and rehabilitation process. 

3. Practical training to understand concrete deterioration and evaluation for appropriate repairing methods. 

4. Increase their experience with nondestructive testing (NDT) and its evaluation for structural integrity. 

5. Readiness of attendee for management of rehabilitation projects ensuring safety, compliance, and cost effects. 

Who Should Attend?

This course is ideal for:

1. Civil Engineers concerned with concrete structures from design, construction, and maintenance aspects.

2. Structural Engineers responsible for evaluation and repair of buildings in case of damage.

3. Architects who wish to find out about the future of concrete rehabilitation.

4. Construction Managers who undertake the responsibility for building repair and rehabilitation projects.

5. Quality Assurance Inspectors in construction and maintenance.

6. Experts in structural health monitoring and building retrofitting.

How will attendees benefit?

Attendees of the Evaluation, Repair, and Rehabilitation of Concrete Buildings as per ACI-562 course will gain a wide range of benefits:

1. Enhanced knowledge of ACI-562 Code: Enhanced understanding of ACI-562 Code for the attendees to get the complete understanding of ACI-562 Code, its significance, and real-world applications to quantify and repair concrete.

2. Competence in Evaluation Procedures: Learning will train attendees with the competency to evaluate structures in which concrete is employed and has the ability to be able to identify deterioration and use effective application of non-destructive testing (NDT) techniques for structural assessment.

3. Practical Rehabilitation and Repair Skills: The course offers attendees with the knowledge and application of modern materials and methodologies to achieve longevity of the concrete structure through design and its application in repairs.

4. Enhanced Competences in Project Management: Learning cost estimation, budgeting, and project scheduling should enable better management of rehabilitation projects with improved efficiency and cost-effectiveness.

5. Understanding of Legal Basic Requirements and Safety Guidelines: Attendees will understand some important safety regulations requirements and compliance to legal bases to make the repair jobs more updated in the industry.

6. Sustainability in Concrete Repair: This will help imbibe ecological consideration in concrete repairs among these humans.

7. Case Study Learning: The course will take an insight into practical learning through common challenges and successful solutions in concrete repair and rehabilitation using real-life case studies.
