Efficient structures emerge when conceptual form and force are considered together. This webinar introduces graphic statics as a practical tool for visualising and designing with forces. […]
Supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs) are typically used to replace between 6% and 65% of Portland cement (PC) to produce blended or composite cements. SCMs are often […]
This presentation gives an overview of how reliability shapes structural concrete design in a South African context. It introduces reliability as a framework for achieving structural […]
This class will explore Alkali-Silica Reaction (ASR)—a chemical process that can lead to the deterioration of concrete. ASR occurs when “reactive” silica in certain aggregates reacts […]
Aggregates occupy the largest volume in typical concrete mixes. Despite this, they are often viewed as inert filler materials, provided for bulk and to reduce the […]
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 […]
This class will cover basic mix design principles for concrete according to the newest Fulton’s Concrete Technology textbook. With this information you will be able to […]
