Course details
The Advanced Concrete Technology course provides an in-depth understanding of the science, behavior, design, and performance of modern concrete materials used in advanced civil engineering applications. Building upon basic concrete technology concepts, the course explores the microstructure of cementitious materials, hydration mechanisms, rheology of fresh concrete, and long-term performance of hardened concrete under various environmental and loading conditions.
The course emphasizes modern concrete materials and mix design methodologies, including high-performance concrete, self-compacting concrete, fiber-reinforced concrete, and sustainable cementitious systems. Learners study the influence of supplementary cementitious materials, chemical admixtures, and aggregates on strength, durability, and workability. Advanced testing methods, quality control practices, and performance-based specifications are also covered.
Special focus is given to durability, deterioration mechanisms, and service life prediction, addressing issues such as corrosion of reinforcement, sulfate attack, alkali–aggregate reaction, carbonation, and freeze–thaw damage. The course integrates laboratory concepts with field applications and real-world case studies, preparing learners to design durable, economical, and sustainable concrete structures.
