Terra-cotta and concrete construction have created some of the world’s most distinctive and historically significant structures. Unfortunately, many early concrete and terra-cotta buildings are threatened by deterioration. Effective protection and maintenance are the keys to the durability of these materials-many can be saved through preservation projects involving sensitive repair and replacement.

This 1-hour interactive online course outlines the historic background of concrete and terra-cotta, the causes of their deterioration, methods to effectively inspect and analyze their current state as well as techniques of maintenance, repair and replacement.
 
ATTN: This educational offering is recognized by the Minnesota Department of Labor and Industry as satisfying 1 hour of credit toward the required continuing education.
