Using Advanced Composite Material In Repair And Strengthening

Of Concrete And Steel Structure
26 th & 27 th July, 2017.
Introduction Advanced Composite Material ACM or Fiber-reinforced polymer (FRP) systems have been widely
used in repair and strengthening of concrete, steel and wooden structures. Advanced Composite Material is
defined as high-strength and lightweight reinforcements created by combining carbon (CFRP) or E-glass fibers
with a polymer material. The performance characteristics of FRP strengthening have become increasingly
popular in construction and retrofit applications, specifically in aging, damaged or overloaded concrete
structures. Steel plate bonding, concrete section enlargement and steel jacketing have been the renovation
methods of choice for decades, yet corrosion, bond degradation and installation difficulty, time, and cost are
consistent challenges to overcome, and the resultant retrofit generally adds weight, reduces usable space,
clearance, or both. The primary benefit of FRP systems versus traditional retrofit methods is that significant
flexural, axial or shear strength gains can be realized with an easy-to-apply composite that does not add
significant weight or mass to the structure. For many cases, it is the most economical choice given the reduced
prep and labor costs and may be installed without taking the structure out of service. Composite Strengthening
Systems may be used to increase the strength of slabs, slab openings, beams, walls, new wall openings,
columns, silos, chimneys, piles and pier caps. FRP may be applied to strengthen reinforced concrete and pre-
stressed/post-tensioned concrete, steel, masonry and timber. This course is planned to give information about
the significant applications of ACM and FRP material in repair and strengthening of buildings, bridges, tunnels
made of steel or concrete material. The codes and standards, critical characteristics of using externally bonded
ACF/FRP systems in repair and strengthening, durability and environmental effects, types and causes of
common deficiencies during applications. The extensive use of ACM in civil engineering shall be displayed
through practical applications and case study.
Course Objective
Display of the philosophy of Saudi Aramco-SA and industry codes and standard
Present the causes and mechanisms leading to deficient structures
Show of preventive measures to prolong the service life of structures
Introduction of effective preventive maintenance programs
Give an idea about the nature of innovative technology and advanced materials
Summarize Inspection methods for concrete, steel and other structures
Present preventive maintenance contributions by design, construction and operation teams
Provide case study and application
Documentation and report preparation

Targeted Attendees This course is designed for Engineers working in the area of civil engineering
construction, highway bridges, and buildings and facing the challenges of rehabilitation and
preserving good, sound buildings under service conditions without shutdown. It is also useful for
structural engineers, quality assurance experts, construction and supervision engineers, owners
and managers of constructed facilities and infrastructures
