Course Objective

In this course, identification and mechanism of durability problems of reinforced concrete structures will be presented within the scope of this course. The possible physical, mechanical and chemical causes of deterioration will be evaluated and methods of repair&strengthening will be presented.

Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit

1   To be able to define the basic concepts of concrete microstructure, pore size distribution and types of cracks in concrete
2   To differentiate the types and possible causes of deterioration in reinforced concrete structures
3   To define the measures to be taken by evaluating environmental conditions
4   To select the materials that can be used for repair-strengthening of reinforced concrete structures
5   To be able to research and report the literature about durability problems, to interpret experimental studies
