Investigation of Accessible Cross-Sections and Structures

Large profiles and wastewater structures were manufactured on site in the past. Various methods and construction materials were used for this purpose. Professional maintenance of these structures requires a detailed understanding of the construction materials used and the manufacturing processes applied. This module provides the necessary basic knowledge for this understanding. Learning objectives:

After completing this module, you will have a sound knowledge of:

• Construction methods for large masonry profiles; • Typical damage to large profiles; • Special aspects of condition assessment for structures and large profiles; • Design and implementation of an extended investigation programme for condition assessment, classification and evaluation; • Design of an extended structural stability assessment.
