To download the recording and presentation slides\, please complete the form below.\n \nPlease join Dr. Ana Evangelista\, EIT Civil & Structural Engineering Course Coordinator and Lecturer\, to learn more about different methods and techniques used to evaluate concrete properties. \nConcrete is the most widely consumed civil construction material in terms of its versatility\, strength\, and durability among other benefits. As a result\, concrete is used in almost every type of construction\, including homes\, buildings\, roads\, bridges\, airports\, and tunnels. However\, over time concrete presents signs of deterioration as it exceeds its original design life. Consequently\, the existing infrastructure typically degrades over time whilst it is subjected to larger loads than it was initially intended for. \nHistorically there have been countless buildings\, bridges\, and other structural elements that have collapsed due to various causes such as corrosion\, unpredicted loads\, or natural disasters. Usually\, the first approach to mitigate structural failure includes periodic visual inspections as part of the maintenance schedule. Additionally\, there are different methods to evaluate and monitor existing structures. For example\, non-destructive testing\, evaluation techniques and Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) technologies are important resources for assessing concrete quality\, integrity\, and performance in situ. \nThe construction engineering industry is a leader in new technologies and research that is focused on structural behavior monitoring. This webinar aims to discuss the technologies that can support engineers\, architects\, and construction professionals seeking up-to-date information to evaluate the condition of concrete in deep foundations\, bridges\, buildings\, pavements\, dams\, and other concrete construction. \nDr. Ana Evangelista has been investigating different methods and techniques used to evaluate concrete properties. \nJoin us to learn more at this must-attend event for engineering professionals and aspiring engineers alike. \nReserve your spot at this free webinar today! \nThe webinar will be recorded and will be sent out to registered attendees afterward. \nA certificate of attendance will be provided to attendees who request one near the end of the live webinar session. \nPlease note: the time stated on this event is in Australian Western Standard Time (AWST). You will need to convert this to your own time zone.
