Aggregates and Their Effects on Concrete Properties - Part 2

Learn about the critical effects of aggregates on hardened concrete properties in this 23-minute engineering lecture from NPTEL's 'Advanced Topics in Science and Technology of Concrete' series. Explore the fundamental concepts of Interfacial Transition Zone (ITZ), concrete shrinkage mechanisms, and how aggregate water absorption capacity influences overall concrete performance. Gain valuable insights into civil engineering principles that can be applied towards certification and course credits recognized by Indian Universities under UGC and AICTE guidelines.
