Concrete, in its most basic form, is a composite material consisting of a binder (the paste) and aggregates. The paste, made up primarily of Portland cement and water, surrounds and binds together the fine and coarse aggregates. As this paste undergoes hydration, a chemical reaction with water occurs, leading to the formation of a hardened mass.

The testing and inspection of concrete and its aggregates are critical aspects of ensuring high-quality construction. These processes are essential for assessing the properties of both fresh and hardened concrete, which can impact the performance and durability of concrete structures.

In the laboratory, students and professionals can conduct a range of tests to evaluate various properties of concrete. These tests include determining the workability, setting time, and air content of fresh concrete, as well as the compressive strength, durability, and permeability of hardened concrete. By analysing these properties, engineers can optimize concrete mix designs and ensure that the resulting structures meet safety and performance standards.

Overall, the testing and inspection of concrete are fundamental steps in the construction process, helping to guarantee the quality and longevity of concrete structures in a wide range of applications.

Students must be able to formulate all materials used to prepare a concrete by considering all Indian Standard.

On completion of the course, the students will be able to:

• CO1:examine all the required properties of concrete materials as per IS code.
• CO2:compute the properties of concrete at fresh and hardened state.
• CO3:design the concrete mix as per latest IS code methods.
• CO4:design the special type of concrete for specific application purposes.

• PSO1:Students will be able to apply the latest public policies of civil engineering for solving real life problems.
• PSO2:Students will be able to create structural and non-structural models using recycled materials for sustainable development.
