| Expected Prior Knowledge | Prior knowledge in selecting suitable constituent materials for concrete mixtures and evaluating fresh and hardened cementitious material properties using various test methods, is expected. | ||||
| Registration Restrictions | Undergraduate & Graduate Students | ||||
| Overall Educational Objective | To learn about special concrete mixtures and recent advances in concrete technology. | ||||
| Course Description | This course will provide the student detailed information about microstructure and mechanical properties of concrete and properties of constituent materials, development of strength, dimensional stability, temperature problems in concreting, durability of concrete, non-destructive test methods, compliance with specifications, progress in concrete technology, advances and future challenges in concrete technology. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) design & mix an innovative concrete mixture and determine physical & mechanical properties using destructive and non-destructive test methods, 2) apply standard test procedures or develop new test methods to determine concrete properties, analyze and interpret experiment results addressing uncertainties, 3) investigate environmental impacts of production of concrete and its constituents (such as cement, aggregates, admixtures, and supplementary cementitious materials); 4) prepare written technical report that clearly refines objective, experimental results, analysis and relationship to the innovative mixture design; 5) present test results of the experimental study using poster presentation |
