We have said repeatedly that concrete is the king of construction materials and we have praised it innumerous times for its exceptional qualities. Unfortunately, before concrete is put in service it has to go through scores of hands, some with the proper expertise and others without it. Further said, it only takes one pair of those hands to compromise the material�s quality.
The mix has to be adequately selected and designed, batched, transported, conveyed, formed, poured, compacted, finished, cured and stripped, in order to become integrated with the structure it was meant to be part of. In that long process anything can happen tending to diminish those qualities we so highly speak about.
Any mishandling in those above described steps in the production process could be the cause of latent defects that reduce the life and performance of the material. Of course, many of those problems as they present themselves down the road in the life of concrete can in many cases be corrected to give the material a deserved second chance. That is why this course has been created, just to show in a comprehensive manner, the repair methodologies available to everyone in the industry.
This course includes a multiple-choice quiz at the end, which is designed to enhance the understanding of the course materials.
