Massive Open Online Course (MOOC)

The ReSHEALience MOOC “Ultra High Durability Concrete: design, testing and applications” provides an introduction to the materials, experimental methods and design concepts developed in the project. The course is freely available and self-paced.

Course structure

• Module 1 – Introduction to Ultra High Durability ConcreteMotivation, definition and comparison with conventional high performance concrete.
• Module 2 – Tailoring the mix designFibres, crystalline admixtures and nanoadditives: how the functionality is engineered.
• Module 3 – Durability testing in service conditionsTesting in the cracked state, accelerated tests and monitoring.
• Module 4 – Self-healing and its validationHealing mechanisms, immersion tests and the recovery of water tightness.
• Module 5 – Durability Assessment-based Design (DAD)From material properties to the prediction of the service life of structures.
• Module 6 – The six pilotsCase studies from the marine and energy sectors, including lessons learned.
