Course Code: MKT044

Course Description

Concrete remains the world's most widely used construction material, yet growing demands for sustainability, durability, and performance are transforming traditional design and construction practices. This intensive course provides participants with a practical understanding of advanced concrete technology, including constituent materials, fresh and hardened concrete properties, durability mechanisms, performance-based mixture design, supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), recycled materials, and emerging low-carbon concrete technologies.

Participants will examine how material selection, proportioning, and quality control influence short- and long-term structural performance. The course combines fundamental principles with hands-on engineering examples and case studies from major infrastructure projects.

Based on state-of-the-art research and industry practice, this course provides practical tools for engineers seeking to design durable, sustainable, and cost-effective concrete infrastructure.

Dr. Leandro Sanchez

Dr. Leandro F. M. Sanchez, PhD, MSc, BSc, is a Full Professor of Civil Engineering at the University of Ottawa. His research and professional expertise focus on advanced and sustainable concrete materials, the durability and long-term performance of concrete structures, and the diagnosis and prognosis of aging infrastructure, with particular expertise in Internal Swelling Reactions (ISR). Before entering academia, he gained industry experience as a consulting engineer working in concrete technology, durability assessment, and the rehabilitation of concrete structures. Dr. Sanchez has co-authored more than 220 peer-reviewed publications on concrete sustainability and durability and has contributed significantly to the development of standard test protocols and descriptive, empirical, and numerical models for the design and assessment of concrete infrastructure.

Dr. Sanchez is actively involved in several national and international technical organizations. He currently serves as Chair of RILEM Technical Committee TC 300 on Alkali-Aggregate Reaction Mitigation and Chair of ACI Committee 221 on Aggregates. He also chaired the 17th International Conference on Alkali-Aggregate Reaction in Concrete, held in Ottawa in 2024. His achievements have been recognized through several prestigious awards, including the Vanier Canada Graduate Scholarship (2010), NSERC Early Career Research Award (2016), NFRF Exploration Grant (2019), Ontario Early Researcher Award (2021), and the University of Ottawa Faculty of Engineering Early Career Researcher Award (2023). A regular reviewer for leading scientific journals, Dr. Sanchez publishes extensively in the fields of concrete materials, sustainability, durability, and infrastructure condition assessment. He is also the author of Internal Swelling Reactions in Concrete: Mechanisms and Condition Assessment, published by CRC Press in 2024.
