Dept. of Civil Engineering course 

This course presents a systematic methodology for the regular condition assessment of steel structures to determine the levels of structural deterioration at any given time during the life of the structure. The assessment considers the current condition of a structure relative to its original condition, identifies deterioration mechanisms, assesses and rates the risk of failure, and makes appropriate recommendations and prioritises any interventions. This ensures the early identification of structural maintenance requirements, thereby facilitating preventive maintenance to ensure safety and prevent asset value destruction.
