INTRODUCTION
Over the last decade, concrete rehabilitation has become recognixed to be a "stand alone" discipline requiring very specialist knowledge and expertise.This course has been developed to cover the latest advances in materials and techniques and the current state-of-the-art for the repair protection of concrete structures. The presenters experiences as a concrete materials consultant and a "troubleshooting"investigator will be used for many of the topics that will be covered. Various concrete deteroration mechanisms will be identifies, together with the way in which failure to understand them can impact on the development of a concrete restoration strategy.
WORKSHOP OBJECTIVES
To identify the many advances in technology that have occurred over years and how they can provide considerable benefit to the concrete repair and protection industry-and ensure that we get it right the second time!
To facilitate learning from the current state-of-the-art and the experience of others.
To identify many types of mistakes that have often caused major disputes or conflicts and have usually resulted in costly remedial work
