Renovation and strengthening of buildings to fulfill new requirements could be achieved using new and advanced repair materials and techniques. This might be needed in case of architectural changes, increasing buildings heights, changing the function which differs than the original design concepts and for repair of defected works.
This course will include an extensive explanation for the steps needed to achieve integrated technical reports with special attention to the visual inspections, discussions, field and laboratory tests and structural safety analysis. Scientific, technical information and applications of the modern and advanced strengthening materials and techniques will be discussed among which are : concrete admixtures, polymer concrete family, fiber reinforced polymers, ferrocement, self-compacting concrete, Ultra high strength concrete, etc. Standard specifications and codes of practice concerned will be discussed. CD’s, transparencies, and video films will be extensively used
