Roller-Compacted Concrete : 5 PDH

$30.00

In this course the student will understand the principles, methods, and considerations involved in the use of roller-compacted concrete (RCC) for civil works structures, particularly dams. They will gain foundational knowledge of material properties, mix design, construction techniques, and quality assurance protocols essential to RCC implementation.Instructor: Raymond Bosek, PE

SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE OR SKILL OBTAINED

This course teaches the following specific knowledge and skills:

    • Define roller-compacted concrete and distinguish it from conventional concrete and embankment materials in terms of composition and application
    • Evaluate the suitability of materials, including aggregates, cementitious substances, and admixtures, for RCC construction
    • Design RCC mixture proportions to meet structural and performance criteria based on strength, durability, and workability requirements
    • Apply best practices for RCC placement, compaction, and construction using specialized equipment and techniques
    • Implement quality assurance and quality control procedures throughout the RCC construction process
    • Analyze the performance of RCC structures post-construction with respect to watertightness, durability, and structural integrity
