Concrete Technology
The behavior and properties of structural materials, e.g. concrete, asphalt and steel can be better understood by detailed, well-designed, firsthand experience with these materials. The students will become familiar with the nature and properties of these materials by conducting laboratory tests. These tests have been selected to illustrate the basic properties and methods of testing of cement, aggregates, paste, mortar, concrete, asphalt and steel. Test procedures, sometimes simplified because of time limitation, are mostly those outlined by the Indian Standards.
