About the CPD 活動簡述:
Structural steel is an excellent building material, with a very high stress to weight ratio. Although the history of iron and steel dates back several hundred years, their use in the main components of building structures is for the past two hundred years. Steel is prone to damage by environmental factors, fire and misuse, yet it offers unique design freedom in the creative building form in modern architecture, which also forms an important part in the construction history deserving conservation.
This ½-Day Course outlines the historical use of steel, material properties, strengths and weaknesses of such material in the building structures. Inspection techniques, repair methods to rectify defects, testing and strengthening will be presented. Protection techniques will also be presented together with case studies for the repair of the steel structures.
The course is technical yet only very basic structural principles will be presented and is very practical to suit practicing professionals. This is the rare opportunity for experience sharing with numerous examples based on the speaker’s experience in the steel buildings conservation practice in historic buildings.
