Course content
Mechanisms of concrete deterioration. Inspection of concrete structures - both field and laboratory methods. Maintenance and repair of concrete structures
Learning outcome
The course should provide the students with an understanding of the typical mechanisms of deterioration of reinforced concrete structures and ability to predict the service life and suggest mitigating measures and repair strategies. Knowledge: - Detailed understanding of typical deterioration mechanisms and controlling parameters - Basic understanding of methods for inspection of concrete structures - both field and laboratory methods - Detailed understanding of selected methods for inspection of concrete structures - both field and laboratory methods - Basic understanding of methods for maintenance and repair of concrete structures - Detailed understanding of selected methods for maintenance and repair of concrete structures. Skills: - Ability to plan an inspection of a typical reinforced concrete structure - Ability to undertake (non-structural) assessment of a typical concrete structure - Ability to undertake service life prediction of a typical concrete structure - Ability to propose mitigating measures and repair strategies. General competence: - Ability to reflect and argue on a scientific basis - Ability to use theory for solving engineering problems.
Learning methods and activities
