Objectives (course unit)
The student knows the components of concrete and their properties. The student knows the most important properties of concrete mass and hardened concrete, as well as the factors affecting them. The student is able to design concrete composition for different types of purposes and make necessary corrections to the obtained composition. The student masters the basics of concrete structure preservation and knows the general quality system of concrete technology, as well as the methods of demonstration of validity. The student is familiar with different types of concrete, as well as methods of concreting and understands the uniqueness of concrete work in different circumstances. The student understands the strength development of concrete, as well as the correlation between quality and conditions at the principle level.
