Introduction
Structural engineers are encountering many problems due to the hot climate and the other environmental conditions. Quality control in construction of the reinforced concrete structure is a complete function which involves management, statistics and engineering.
In this training seminar, the focus is on using the statistics as a tool to control all the activities of the construction projects, especially the concrete product. The quality control of the concrete is illustrated in scope of the different codes and specifications. This training seminar will deliver a state-of-art methodology to control the concrete quality, introduces ways to control the specification recommendations in detail, and all the new modern the techniques and methodology used in concrete industry to enhance the concrete quality.
The case studies of this seminar will be for oil and gas projects, as most projects are time-driven and need to be of high-quality to maintain the sustainable facilities along the production-filled life. In a hot climate, it needs more precaution in the concrete industry and on the construction of the building to match with the requirement of the weather. All the examples are real case studies of oil and gas projects.
This training seminar will feature:
- Different codes and standards for Quality control
- Quality control test (video presentation)
- Effects of quality in project sustainability and structure durability
- Main skills and required knowledge for QC On Site
- QC procedure and precaution for concrete in a hot climate
- Effect of good QC on structure lifetime
Objectives
By the end of this training seminar, participants will:
- Be familiar with all quality management techniques and procedures
- Learn available non-destructive testing for concrete structure projects
- Understand the practical tools to control the concrete and the whole project that includes field-testing and the required laboratory facilities
- Be familiar with various techniques for evaluating the structures under construction
- Learn modern field measurements such as concrete strength
- Be familiar with all quality control techniques in hot climate
Training Methodology
This training seminar will utilize a variety of proven adult learning techniques to ensure maximum understanding, comprehension and retention of the information presented. The daily workshops will be highly interactive and participative. Videos and photos will be used for illustration.
