Quality assurance in pavement construction
Introduction
Structural engineers are encountering many problems due to the hot climate and the other environmental conditions. Quality control in construction of the pavement construction and reinforced concrete structure is a complete function which involves management, statistics and engineering.
This training seminar case study and practical sessions will be for construction projects as most projects are time driven and need a high quality to maintain the sustainable facilities along the production filed life.
In this training seminar, the focus is on using the statistics as a tool to control all the activities of the construction projects, especially the concrete product. The quality control of the the pavement construction is illustrated in scope of the different codes and specifications. This training seminar will deliver a state-of-art methodology to control the concrete quality, introduces ways to control the specification recommendations in detail
This training seminar will feature:
Different codes and standards for Quality Control
Quality control test (video presentation)
Effects of quality in project sustainability
Main skills and required knowledge for QC On Site
QC procedure for pavement construction and concrete in a hot climate
QC for steel structure activities
Objectives
By the end of this training seminar, participants will:
Familiarise all quality management techniques and procedures
Learn available non-destructive testing for concrete and steel structure projects
Understand the practical tools to control the concrete and the whole project that includes field-testing and the required laboratory facilities
Familiarise various techniques for evaluating the structures under construction
Learn modern field measurements such as concrete strength
Familiarise with all quality control techniques in hot climate
Training Methodology
