SUMMARY:CONCRETEClass 1.2 – Concrete Durability – Deterioration Mechanisms and Basic Design Rules
DESCRIPTION:This class will cover relevant deterioration mechanisms for concrete structures\, such as ingress of deleterious substances\, reinforcement corrosion\, chemical attack\, ASR and shrinkage cracking. Guidelines for concrete mix design and construction procedures aiming at minimizing the risk of concrete deterioration and maximizing service life will be discussed. \nRequirements for benefitting from this class:\n– Basic knowledge of the constituents of concrete\n– Basic mathematics\, no more than Matric Level \nPresenter: Prof. Hans Beushausen\, University of Cape Town \nHans Beushausen studied civil engineering in Germany and South Africa and completed his PhD at the University of Cape Town (UCT) in 2005\, working in the fields of repair and rehabilitation of concrete structures. In subsequent years\, he broadened his scope of research and teaching from general\nfields related to structural engineering into service life prediction and performance-based design of structures\, steel reinforcement corrosion and sustainable concrete technology with a focus on low carbon cementitious binders and recycled aggregate concrete. He is a Director of the Concrete Materials and Structural Integrity Research Unit and Convenor of the postgraduate programme on Civil Infrastructure Management and Maintenance at the University of Cape Town and a member of several scientific and professional associations. He chaired the RILEM Development Activities Committee from 2020 to 2024 and was Head of the South African National Delegation of fib from 2014 to 2024. He is currently the Vice-President of RILEM and the Liaison Member representing the Concrete Society of Southern Africa on ACI Committee 364-Rehabilitation. \nDate: Thursday\, 06 March 2025\nTime: 15:00 – 16:00 \nECSA CPD accreditation applied for\nOnly CSSA Members qualify to receive ECSA CPD points.\nTo become a Member visit our website: www.concretesocietysa.org.za or contact Natasja. \nRSVP:\nNatasja Pols:\nnatasja.pols@concretesocietysa.org.za\non or before Wednesday\, 05 March 2025 \nRSVP HERE

SUMMARY:CONCRETEFiX 5.4 - The Influence of Concrete Material Properties on Integral Bridge Design
DESCRIPTION:By Sarah Skorpen & Megan Brink\, from the University of Pretoria \nThis presentation will cover some of the material testing done by the SANRAL 7a2 Integral Bridge Research Group. Results show that the aggregate type used to make concrete has a significant effect on the stiffness (E-value)\, thermal expansion\, drying shrinkage and creep of the concrete despite the concrete having the same characteristic strength. These properties have a significant effect on the behaviour of integral bridges and should be considered during the design and construction of integral bridges. \nDATE: Thursday\, 20 March 2025\nvia Teams @ 15:00 SAST (UTC+2 hours)\nAttendance Free \nECSA CPD accreditation applied for\nOnly CSSA Members qualify to receive ECSA CPD points.\nTo become a Member visit our website: www.concretesocietysa.org.za or contact Natasja. \nRSVP\nNatasja Pols on or before Wednesday\, 19 March 2025\nnatasja.pols@concretesocietysa.org.za \nRSVP HERE
