CASI Construction Academy  Presents a 2 day Advanced Workshop In Concrete Materials & Technology

AIM OF THE COURSE

Concrete is a highly variable material and its properties can be modified to suit the individual requirements of a structure or an environment.  Decisions regarding the selection of concrete component materials are frequently left to the contractor, and the resulting concrete properties may result in excessive shrinkage and cracking, for example, even if the concrete satisfies a rudimentary specification.

BASIS OF THE COURSE CONTENT

In a very tight curriculum, a tertiary institution is unable to give future designers or constructors of reinforced concrete structures a thorough understanding of materials science.  The course will ensure a better understanding of what can be achieved with concrete, and how it can accommodate the needs of a specific structure.

 Who Should Attend

Client bodies that want reinforced concrete structures that will not incur huge maintenance costs in future, designers and constructors who are serious about quality in the best interests of their clients.

Attendance of the course would be beneficial to:

ü  Consulting engineers

ü  Technicians

ü  practitioners representing road authorities

ü  Contractors

ü  Foreman involved in the production and construction of concrete

ü  Client bodies that want reinforced concrete structures that will not incur huge maintenance costs in future

ü  Constructors, who are serious about quality in the best interests of their clients.
