This course deals with the assessment, rehabilitation and/or strengthening of building and bridge infrastructure. Topics include damage mechanisms, instrumentation and non-destructive test methods, conventional repair techniques, innovative repair and strengthening techniques with composites. Case studies provide students with the opportunity to learn from field applications. The laboratory portion involves test methods used to evaluate repair and strengthening measures.

  • This course went through the materials involved in rehab, structural inspections, typical problems in concrete and steel, and basics in how to strengthen/stabilize/repair concrete and steel members. There is a particular focus on FRP (Prof. Al-Mayah is passionate about CFRP), with useful information on how to design it as a flexural/shear capacity strengthening element on concrete beams.
    I think this course is one of the easier and lower workload technical electives available in CIVE 4B. 3 assignments, 1 lab (free marks), a final group project, and a final exam that wasn't too bad. Definitely useful if you want to work on rehabilitation projects.
