Course Description

Introduction

This training course on Advanced Materials & Technology in the Concrete Industry will familiarise participants with recently developed concrete materials and repair materials that are used in the majority of concrete structure repair projects, whether they are required for new construction or the rehabilitation of existing structures. In addition, test procedures, technical details, and troubleshooting for the most typical issues with these materials will be covered. 

Around the globe, concrete is used in a variety of ways. Recent developments in material science have made novel materials or admixtures available to supplement or replace traditional concrete components in order to improve the qualities of concrete. These materials might be used to the building of new concrete structures or to the maintenance of already-existing ones. If not handled correctly, these products might be ineffectual or perhaps more harmful than beneficial. 

The participants will be equipped with the knowledge required to understand the many advanced concrete materials, including what tests to run and how to interpret the findings, what to look for in specifications, and the benefits and drawbacks of each new material.

This training session for Course N Carry will emphasise: 

  • Sophisticated methods for codes and standards
  • Cutting-edge materials for concrete building
  • Novel materials that improve the durability of concrete
  • Using cutting-edge building techniques to create a sustainable structure
  • Cutting-edge tools and methods for fixing concrete
  • Carbon Fibre Reinforced Polymer (CFRP) for Reinforcement and Repair of Concrete Structures
  • Modern methods for protecting against corrosion 

Goals

Following this training session, the participants will be qualified to: 

  • Learn about the new methodology for project management for brownfield projects.
  • Explain using innovative design techniques and make a distinction between codes and standard 
  • Describe how the concrete industry is using new materials.
  • Become familiar with cutting-edge building techniques.
  • Learn about Self-Consolidating Concrete (SCC), High Strength Concrete (HSC), and High-Performance Concrete (HPC).
  • Become familiar with all current materials and repair techniques.
  • Competent to plan and carry out CFRP for reinforcing concrete 

Training Methodology

To guarantee optimal comprehension, retention, and understanding of the material provided, this Advanced Materials & Technology in Concrete Industry training course will make use of a range of tried-and-true adult learning strategies. There will be a lot of interaction and participation in the daily sessions. Images and videos will be used as examples.
