Fundamentals of Concrete Technology

Condensed guide on the properties of concrete to push your engineering skill set to the next level




What you'll learn
How concrete is made and it's components
The heat of hydration
Properties of fresh and hardened concrete
Workability, settlement, bleeding and plastic shrinkage
Description
By the end of this course, you will fully grasp the theory behind the production of concrete from chemical compound, all the way to quality hardened concrete.

We’re not going to worry about the design of concrete elements in this course, but instead take a deep dive into fundamental concrete properties and behaviour as the concrete sets on site.

Please Note this course covers the properties of concrete and not the design of reinforced concrete elements.

I have designed this course for engineers early in their career that are looking to take their knowledge of concrete to the next level, but don’t have the time to sift through textbooks looking for the relevant facts, or are struggling to get enough actual site time while being stuck in the office all day.

The main items we'll focus on in this course are:

Cementitious materials

The hydration process

The influence of admixtures and aggregates

Properties of fresh and hardened concrete

Workability, settlement, bleeding and plastic shrinkage

Tensile and core strength

We'll focus not only on the theory, but also real world considerations that are not often found in the text books.

This course has been specifically designed to give value to you, the student, and lifetime access means you will receive all future updates and additions free of charge.

If you are not 100% sure this course is for you, feel free to take a look around. If you are not convinced, there is a 30 day money back guarantee with no hard feelings or questions asked.

Thanks for taking the time to view this course, and I hope to see you in there!
