Concrete Technology

NPTEL and Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur via YouTube

Overview

Concrete Technology is acquiring tremendous significance as we continue to use more concrete in diverse conditions. A concrete engineer needs to update the understanding of concrete as a material, be aware of the developments of special concretes, be conscious of the limitations of existing test methods and specifications, understand the issues in shifting to a more performance-based thinking, and know about maintenance and repair in the overall lifecycle of concrete.

 

Keeping these in mind, this course aims at:

  • Revising the basic principles underlying concrete science and technology
  • Developing a framework, which helps us understand the present-day scenario in concrete engineering
  • Going through some issues in special and high-performance concretes and their quality control and testing, including performance-based thinking, durability and maintenance

    The concrete technology lecture was highly informative and engaging. The instructor expertly covered the fundamentals of concrete, including its composition, curing methods, and types. A key highlight was the exploration of innovative concrete technologies, such as self-healing and ultra-high-performance concrete, supported by relevant case studies. The presentation was clear and visually appealing, with effective diagrams that aided comprehension. The interactive Q&A session was a valuable opportunity to delve deeper into specific topics. Overall, the lecture offered a comprehensive overview of concrete technology, making it a valuable experience for anyone interested in modern construction techniques and materials.
  • Sidharath Kumar Yadav
    Overall I really like this class because all lectures, assignments, and tests are straight forward. A couple things I dislike about the class are that there should be more opportunities for extra credit and it would be awesome if the final was an objective essay about what we have learned in this class or what we like about the class.

    This is very useful to know the basic to deep things about concrete.
    The consistent of concrete,The importance of concrete,The problems of using concrete and how to overcome from this problems everything you will be understood after taking this course.So, Definitely after completing this course you will get better idea for making a good quality concrete and it will help you to take the proper advantages of using concrete.
  • دوره مهمه في مجال الهندسه ومتطلب للوظائف الخاصه بمصانع الخرسانه ومجال الهندسه بشكل عام انفا صح للطلاب حديثين التخرج أو من ليس لديه خبره تفيده جداً في الcv تعتبر اضافه هاذه الدوره اضافه قويه جداً
  • There is good and technical knowledge of concrete there is deel knowledge and good experience here is good and technical knowledge of concrete there is deel knowledge and good experience here is good and technical knowledge of concrete there is deel knowledge and good experience
