Course Objectives: | Course Objective In order to improve the properties of concrete both in fresh and hardened state or, when concrete of special properties is required admixtures other than the basic ingredients of concrete should be added to the mix. The use of admixtures gains greater acceptance and the amount of concrete containing admixtures increases day by day. Thus, a better understanding of the properties of admixtures by the concrete engineer and technologist is necessary to enable him to be less dependent on the reliability of the advice of the admixture supplier and the side effects are described in this course. |
Course Content: | All kind of admixtures other than the basic ingredients of concrete |
