Advanced Concrete Technology

The objective of this advanced concrete technology course is to provide participants with an in-depth knowledge of various topics in the field of concrete. Upon completing the course, learners will be able to select appropriate cement types and aggregates, determine mix proportions, and develop testing methods to evaluate the strength and durability of concrete. The course will cover different cementitious materials, aggregates, admixtures, factors affecting concrete strength and durability, special concretes, ferrocement, fiber reinforced concrete, and polymers in concrete.

ADVANCED CONCRETE TECHNOLOGY

COURSE OBJECTIVES:

The objective of the course is to provide a teaching and learning


experience for participants such that they obtain an in-depth
knowledge at an advanced level of awide variety of topics within the
field of concrete technology.
COURSE OUTCOMES:

On the successful completion of this course:


The learner is expected to be able to select the cement type,
aggregates, need foradmixture andto decide the mix proportions of
concrete, and to develop a sightfor testing and evaluation of strength
and durability of concrete.
COURSE CONTENTS:

Introduction: different types of cementitious materials, different types


of cements and pozzolanas, energy efficient cement burning
technologies.
