June Half Day Seminar Announcement

Topic:      Techniques and Design Considerations for Strengthening of Existing Concrete Structures (4 PDH’s)

Tarek Alkhrdaji, PhD, P.E. will present the design strategies, techniques, materials and design concepts used for strengthening concrete structures. The use of each technique will be illustrated through actual case studies. The major topics will be 1. Factors affecting the performance or capacity of reinforced concrete; 2. Strengthening with externally bonded FRP systems and 3. Conventional strengthening techniques for cases where FRP is not viable. A more in depth course description is attached.

Speaker:    Mr. Tarek Alkhrdaji, PhD, P.E.
