I. RATIONALE
Concrete is the most common construction material on earth and it directly determines the construction quality of
the concrete structure and plays a very important role in the stability of the building structure. A diploma civil
engineering students are required to develop the basic competency in dealing with concrete as a construction
material ,so that they should have the basic knowledge of cement chemistry, concrete batching, placement,
compaction and curing and testing of concrete. This course will be helpful for students to build their theoretical and
practical knowledge in civil and structural engineering.
II. INDUSTRY / EMPLOYER EXPECTED OUTCOME
Design the concrete mix as per the given specifications.
III. COURSE LEVEL LEARNING OUTCOMES (COS)
Students will be able to achieve & demonstrate the following COs on completion of course based learning
CO1 - Suggest relevant types of cement to be used in the given site conditions.
CO2 - Classify the given aggregates based on its shape and size with the importance of their properties.
CO3 - Prepare concrete of required specifications in the given situation.
CO4 - Undertake the necessary procedures to maintain the quality of given type of concrete.
CO5 - Suggest relevant type of admixtures to be used in the given situation.
