Concrete Technology ECDP332 Course Aims The main aims is to familiarize students with physical properties and mechanical behavior of various construction materials with main emphasis being placed on concrete. This includes detailed discussions of concrete constituents: cement, aggregates, water and admixtures. Relevant aspects related to fresh and hardened concrete, i.e. mixing, handling, casting, curing, standards, testing, strength, deformation, durability and quality control are also discussed. Other construction materials discussed in the course include timber, Metals and plastics. Special topics and new developments related to the materials used in the construction industry may be reviewed.

Concrete Technology ECDP332 Course intended Learning Outcomes (ILOs) Knowledge of cement origin, properties and types Knowledge of aggregate properties and classification Knowledge Fresh and harden concrete properties Using concrete laboratory to find concrete properties

Concrete Technology ECDP332 Course Outline Introduction: constituents, history, advantages, limitations and applications. Cement: raw materials, manufacture, composition and types, special cements, hydration, tests of cement, paste and mortar. Water: mixing and curing requirements, tests. Aggregates: physical and mechanical properties. Fresh concrete: workability, segregation, bleeding and tests. Practical considerations: mixing, handling, casting, compaction, curing and removal of formworks. Admixtures: types, water reducing (superplasticizers), set- retarders, accelerators and air entraining agents.

Concrete Technology ECDP332 Course Outline Hardened Concrete: physical, chemical and engineering properties, tensile and compressive strengths, other strengths, deformation, elasticity, shrinkage, creep destructive tests and non-destructive tests. Mix design: influencing factors, various methods of mix proportioning and design of normal strength concrete including prescriptive, standard and designed mixes. Quality control: variation in strengths and compliance requirements. Metal: manufacture, physical and mechanical characteristics, and testing. Timber: physical and mechanical characteristics, and testing.
