Course Introduction:
 

Structures are like us, never get younger. It can maintain their good health with age, if properly cared for, examined, and treated when needed. Structures need periodic check-ups as part of their preventive care to ensure their fitness and need examination when exhibiting signs of illness. Remarkably, structural condition is often referred to as fitness-for-service (FFS).
 

We design structures for strength, stability and deformation, but the most common problems that occur are those of deteriorations, durability and serviceability.

 

This program will provide the Building Industry personnels with knowledge and skills in procedures used for assessing the structural condition of existing structures, covers as many aspects as possible of evaluating structures, structural material condition and establishing the cause of the condition with

appropriate diagnosing methods.
