About the CPD 活動簡述:
Through civilization, architects and builders have chosen masonry for its beauty, versatility, and durability and produced world wonders such as the Great Wall of China, Eqyptian Pyramids, the Colosseum in Rome and Taj Mahal in India. Masonry is still used today as it is highly durable, resistant to fire and is excellent for sound separation.
This 2-Day Course outlines the material properties, strengths and weaknesses of such material in the building structures. Survey techniques, repair methods to rectify defects, testing and strengthening techniques will be presented. Protection techniques will also be presented together with case studies for the repair of the masonry 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 extensive experience in the masonry building conservation practice in both Western and Chinese style buildings.
(This course is a repeat of the 2-Day courses held in August 2018 & June 2019 with minor updates intended for those who missed the opportunity to attend the course. This course is intended to be a final one on this subject before the speaker enters into retirement.)
