Concrete Technology 1 (5 cr)

Objective

After the course the student has the knowledge of:
- Constituent materials of concrete
- Concrete properties and how to control the properties
- Concrete mix design
- Execution requirements (in-situ) of concrete structures incl. authority requirements
- Concrete works (in-situ) design and management
- Concreting plan preparation and execution records
- Concreting in cold weather

Content

- Quality control of constituent materials, fresh and hardened concrete including concrete preparation and casting in laboratory
- Concrete Mix Design- calculations
- Recognition and control of concrete properties; both good and challenging properties
- Execution requirements (in-situ) of concrete structures incl. authority requirements
- Concrete type selection based on structure type and conditions (environment, weather)
- Concreting in cold weather; required actions
- Concreting plan preparation and execution records
- Low carbonate concrete and how use it on construction site
- Course “Concrete Technology 1” forms together with course “Concrete Technology 2” the knowledge package required for concrete works management on demanding concrete structures.
