About the CPD 活動簡述:
Although reinforced concrete (RC) structures have been extensively used for the past 100 years and are not proven to outlast timber and masonry construction, they are the modern building materials offering unique design freedom in the creative building form which form an important part in the construction history deserving conservation.
This 1-Day Course outlines the history of the materials, properties, strengths and weaknesses of the materials in the building structures. Survey techniques, repair methods to rectify defects and their suitability, testing and strengthening options will be presented. Corrosion protection techniques will also be presented together with methodology for the conservation of the RC 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 building conservation practice.
This course is almost a repeat of the 1-Day course held in November 2019 with minor update and intended for those who missed the opportunity to attend the course. This course is intended to be the final one on this subject before the speaker enters into his retirement.
