COURSE OBJECTIVE
The course relates to the fundamentals related to concrete and concrete material, besides dealing with masonry, reinforcement, etc. The course begins with an outline of what concrete is, what are the processes involved in formation of concrete, various materials that are used in concrete formation, properties of each ingredient of concrete, standard tests to be applied to concrete and concrete ingredients. The course then moves on to design-mix, special concretes, Nondestructive testing, etc.
