What You Will Learn:
This course provides
detailed instruction how to use Life 365 v2.0 to estimate the service life
and life-cycle costs of concrete structures. The software provides an
estimate of service life for a concrete structure in a given geographical
location and allows the practitioner to vary alternative corrosion
protection strategies and determine their effect to the structures projected
service life. The webinar focuses on the important new features in Life 365
v2.0, including; a probabilistic view of service life analysis, life-cycle
cost sensitivity analysis, and practical use of the extensive
context-sensitive on-line help system.
Webinar Topics:
The Life 365 v2.0
Service Life Prediction Model
Defining service
life, and methods used to extend this life
Life-cycle
costing
Uncertainty and
Sensitivity Analysis of service life calculations and financial
assumptions
How
You Will Benefit:
This webinar will
provide attendees with detailed knowledge of how to estimate your concrete
project's service life and life-cycle cost, and how underlying structural,
environmental, and concrete mixture parameters will impact this service life
and cost.
At the end of the
course, attendees will be able to:
Estimate the
service life of concrete mixtures containing: SCMs, corrosion
inhibitors, surface barriers and alternative types of reinforcement.
Estimate the
life-cycle costs of these concrete mixture additions and corrosion
protection alternatives for a defined project.
Estimate the
uncertainty in the calculated service life and life-cycle costs.
Test to see if
life-cycle costs are sensitive to reasonable changes in structural,
concrete, environmental, and cost conditions.
Understand how
unique project site conditions will impact the life-cycle cost
effectiveness of their structure.
Who
Should Attend:
Owners, as well as
design consultants of concrete bridge and parking structures subject to
corrosion from environmental and societal conditions. Concrete contractors
and producers will also benefit.
