Description
Cracks in buildings are a common issue that can compromise structural integrity, aesthetics, and safety if left unaddressed. preventing cracks in buildings is essential for ensuring both the durability and sustainability of structures. Through understanding the root causes of cracksâ€”whether from structural design flaws, material degradation, environmental factors, or improper construction practicesâ€”designers and engineers can take proactive steps to mitigate these risks. Sustainable approaches emphasize the use of quality materials, innovative construction techniques, and an integration of green practices to extend the lifespan of buildings while minimizing repair and maintenance costs.
By focusing on sustainable design, this course highlights the importance of comprehensive planning, regular inspection, and the adoption of best practices in construction. Ultimately, crack prevention contributes to resource conservation, environmental protection, and the overall well-being of the communities we serve. As professionals, staying informed about the latest materials, technologies, and methodologies is crucial to ensuring long-lasting, safe, and environmentally responsible buildings. Understanding the causes, prevention techniques, and sustainable practices in construction is crucial for ensuring the long-term durability of structures. This course will provide a comprehensive understanding of the factors leading to cracks, explore methods for diagnosing and preventing them, and emphasize sustainable design approaches that contribute to the longevity of buildings.
By the end of this course, participants will be able to:
1.Identify the different types and causes of cracks in buildings.
2.Understand the materials and structural factors that contribute to crack formation.
3.Diagnose cracks and assess their severity using modern techniques.

Instructor's Courses

I have been Heading an institute and into Architecture Education since the last 26 years. I was the recipient of Best Teacher Award- 2011 by MASA- Maharashtra Association of Schools of Architecture. I had done my Doctorate Research in Architecture and Planning in the topic- Assessment of Microclimate Variation in Context to Urban Development. Teaching and Research had been my passion all through these years. I have been guiding students for various Research works. Four of my students are awarded PhD in Architecture under my guidance. I also conduct workshops and seminars for Teachers and Students of architecture on various topics like- Climate and Architecture, Research in Architecture, Microclimate variation, Form and Architecture , Architecture Design Studio, Good Leadership etc.
