Course Description:
In-depth review of the most common processes affecting durability of portland cement concrete durability, and presents methods of assessing the quality of in-place concrete construction for vertical construction, roads and bridges, and geotechnical elements. Laboratory durability testing, on-site non-destructive evaluation techniques, and procedures for repair and rehabilitation will be discussed.
