Course Learning Outcomes and Competences
Upon 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
