Durability – principles for practitioners*

The Concrete Institute of Australia (CIA) has produced this one day course on Durability Principles based around Australian and International codes and guidelines for general practitioners who seek additional information and knowledge related to the topic.

The course provides an ideal opportunity for further training and professional development; which will aid in the assurance that those involved in all infrastructure works and structures in sensitive exposure conditions are armed with the fundamental understanding that will ensure the required design life is met and that structural integrity and safety is maintained.

The Concrete Institute would encourage all practitioners who wish to raise their awareness on this important topic to attend.

Furthermore, the Institute would encourage all in the industry to support their younger engineers to attend this important seminar to acquire practical skills that is often not fully covered in academic programs, yet is desperately
needed within their current work practices.

The knowledge that will be gained from this course will provide attendees with the necessary information that can be immediately applied in work practices.

Ensuring that all parties involved in such projects are attentive and responsive to the essential principles of concrete durability, facilitates the reduction of project risk and potential future liability.

Together with Engineers Australia, CIA’s supporting partner, the Institute aims to deliver a thorough program that addresses all the necessary considerations regarding durability.
