SUSTAINABLE CONCRETE PRODUCTION

Course Description

This course will provide students with an introduction to Sustainable Concrete. In addition, the course will examine the key components of Green Concrete mixtures, illustrate some performance attributes of high-performance Green Concrete, and demonstrate the need for a process and methodology for quantifying sustainable concrete. Additionally, the course will look at various project profiles that specified Green Concrete mixtures. The Green Concrete is specified with a comparative life cycle assessment or Eco-Efficiency Analysis. This course helps to understand constituent materials of concrete, design of reinforced concrete elements, durability of concrete structures, mix proportioning, mixing, transportation and placing of concrete, special materials for concrete and strengthening of concrete structures.
