To enable students to:

1- Deduce concrete materials and thei basic properties including aggregate ,cement, admixtures.

2- Design a concrete mix.

3- Gain a knowledge of mechanical and physical properties.

4- Gain a knowledge of concrete durability.

5- Be familiar with the experimental procedure to conduct testing on such materials.

The course introduces an overview of concrete components (cement, aggregate, water and admixtures), concrete at early ages (hydration, curing and fresh concrete properties), mechanical behavior of concrete, concrete mix design, factors affecting concrete properties, durability of concrete.
