Introduction to concrete, overview of materials- cement, low carbon cement, coarse aggregate and fine aggregate, and mineral admixture:- fly ash, GGBS, micro silica / silica fume, metakaolin / rice husk ash, composite cement and ultrafine materials, lab test – fineness of fly ash, recycled aggregate
Water and chemical admixture: source, requirements, limits and testing Blending of aggregate -: Blending of fine and coarse aggregate, gradation for optimization and practical aspects
Mix design – Volumetric mix design, mix design by absolute volume method, worked out practical examples based on industries experience at project sites over several decades, higher grades of concrete, high performance concrete, test on concrete: workability of concrete, flexural and compressive strength tests.
Production of concrete-: batching plant, calibration, mixing and transportation of concrete handling of concrete at construction, ready-mix concrete, pumping, placing of concrete with boom placers, levelling, vibration and compaction, cold joints, finishing and curing and protection of concrete
Special types of concrete: self-compacting concrete, mass concrete, dry lean concrete, geopolymer concrete, pavement quality concrete, fiber reinforced concrete, composite concrete, lightweight concrete, ferrocement, shotcreteing, guniting, grouting, challenges faced at sites: plastic shrinkage cracks, plastic settlement, honey comb, bug holes, cover to concrete
