Course Overview
Various concrete structures are mushrooming in India. It is crucial to take care of the quality of these structures to prevent accidents, mishaps, and damage in the future. This course on Maintenance and Repair of Concrete Structures by Swayam aims to create educated civil engineers who can check on the quality of these structures and perform repairs if the need arises.
The Maintenance and Repair of Concrete Structures training is useful in teaching candidates how to repair concrete buildings and select the materials and systems to make the repairs last. The training focus will be on preventive maintenance strategy rather than corrective maintenance strategy. Candidates will get full training in how to predict potential problems.
The Maintenance and Repair of Concrete Structures syllabus will discuss concepts like typical near-surface repair, structural strengthening, corrosion protection, structural stabilisation, etc. in detail. This is an AICTE-approved course on the Faculty Development Program by IIT Madras, one of the highest-ranking engineering institutes in India. Candidates can enrol for free.
