Course Description:

'' It is said that concrete is the most important construction material used by Mankind. This is partly due to the huge volumes produced and also due to the unique way in which concrete changes from its fresh, wet consistence to develop into strong and long-lasting structural elements.

Some concrete may be purely utilitarian; some may need to be visually appealing or designed to resist aggressive environments and this new training course is designed as an appreciation of the processes involved in making a success of every concreting operation.

Course Objectives:
At the end of the course, participants will have received training that will enable them to:

define current terminology used in the context of fresh and hardened concrete
select appropriate types of cement, aggregates, admixtures and water for production of concrete
select suitable consistence classes of fresh concrete for specific applications

perform tests on fresh and hardened concrete
state permitted tolerances on slump
specify strength properties of concrete
apply conformity criteria for concrete strength
