Study of Concrete Technology: Principles and Applications
Mr. Ahamed Sharif
Abstract
The study of diverse materials, characteristics, and manufacturing and application techniques for concrete is a key component of concrete technology in construction engineering. This chapter attempts to investigate the most important facets of concrete technology and its importance in contemporary building methods. The study examines the components that make up concrete, including cement, aggregates, and water, and how they affect the finished product's strength, durability, and workability. It also looks at the many methods and tools used in the operations of mixing, laying, and curing concrete. In order to guarantee the effectiveness and durability of concrete buildings, the research also emphasizes the significance of quality control and testing processes. Engineers and construction specialists may improve the effectiveness and longevity of concrete structures by using sustainable practices and making educated judgments based on their knowledge of concrete technology.
