Building and Construction Engineering Department held a workshop in cooperation with the Ministry of Construction, Housing and Municipalities and the American Institute of Concrete Branch of Iraq (ACI Iraq Chapter) about quality control in construction projects under international standards

Title of the lecture: Requirements for quality control under American standard ACI 318-14M for the ACI Certification Program (ACI) and problems of cracks: their causes, types and procedures to address them.

Seminar title: ACI 318-14M QC requirements for people and laboratories working in the concrete testing and evaluation.

Prof. Dr. Nabil Abdel-Magid El-Bayati / Consultant of Structural Engineering

Assistant Professor Dr. Maan Salman Hassan / Consultant of Concrete Technology and Quality Control.

The aim of the lecture is to introduce the requirements for quality control in construction projects under the American Global Code (ACI) and compare it with the recent Iraqi code issued by the Central Agency for standardization and quality control. And to specify the steps required by the supervisor in case of ensuring that there is no defect in quality rather than treating the situation after it occurs.

The lecturer is of great importance in civil engineering and as this is accompanied by an update in the international standards which is supposed to be reflected on the efficiency and evolution of the nature of the design and implementation of concrete structures in Iraq.
