Civil Modern Concrete Technology
Course Description
Concrete is a composite with properties that change with time. During service, the quality of concrete provided by initial curing can be improved by subsequent wetting as in the cases of foundations or water retaining structures. However, concrete can also deteriorate with time due to physical and chemical attacks. Structures are often removed when they become unsafe or uneconomical. Lack of durability has become a major concern in construction for the past 20 to 30 years. Concrete has been the most common building material for many years. It is expected to remain so in the coming decades. Concreting is widely used in domestic, rural, commercial, recreational and educational construction Communities around the world rely on concrete as a safe, strong and simple building material.
