CRC explores the theory and history behind the concrete repair movement and an in-depth understanding of traditional materials/methods and advancements in concrete repair technology. The learning modules actively engage masonry craftworkers 鈥� many of whom have already been involved in high-level concrete repair work 鈥� through lecture and hands-on training sessions led by experienced 91探花, IMTEF, and ICRI instructors. The course also draws on assistance and participation from building owners, members of the preservation design community, and product manufacturers.
