Course Name: Maintenance and Repair of Concrete Structures

Course abstract

This course will help students learn how to identify various deterioration mechanisms or damage mechanisms in concrete structures (say, deterioration of metallic reinforcement and cementitious materials). The course will discuss both the scientific aspects and its use while practicing repair works at site. Use of various non-destructive, partially-destructive tools to assess the condition of the structure will be discussed. Also, tips on selecting measurable parameters that are useful in deciding the further repair and maintenance practices will be provided. Following this, practices for typical near-surface repair, corrosion protection, structural strengthening, structural stabilization, etc. will be discussed in detail. At the end of the course students will be able to suggest evaluation and repair/retrofitting methods for extending the service life of concrete structures. Importance for preventive maintenance practices (instead of corrective maintenance practices) will be discussed throughout the coursework.
