Diagnosis and Prognosis of Concrete Infrastructure: Condition Assessment, Service-Life Prediction and Rehabilitation (1 hr Complimentary Webinar)

Course Description
Concrete infrastructure is exposed throughout its service life to physical, chemical, mechanical, and environmental actions that can progressively reduce safety, serviceability, and durability. Effective infrastructure management therefore requires more than identifying visible distress: engineers must determine the underlying deterioration mechanisms, quantify the current condition, forecast future performance, and select technically and economically appropriate interventions.
This intensive course provides participants with a practical framework for the diagnosis and prognosis of aging concrete infrastructure. It covers major deterioration mechanisms; inspection planning; non-destructive, microscopic, mechanical, analytical, and statistical assessment methods; serviceability and structural appraisal; service-life prediction; and the selection of repair, rehabilitation, and maintenance strategies.
Based on state-of-the-art research and industry practice, the course integrates technical instruction with real infrastructure case studies and practical exercises. Participants will learn how to transform field observations and test results into defensible engineering decisions and performance-based management plans for bridges, buildings, transportation systems, parking structures, water infrastructure, and other critical concrete assets.
