Designing, Specifying and Constructing With Modern Concrete IDC Technologies

Overview

Concrete designing, its specifications, standards and codes and the concrete mix design is discussed in detail along with various procedures and precautions on field manufacturing of concrete. The defects, investigations and the remedial measures and repairs are covered in detail and the modern concepts like ready mix concrete, precast and prestressed concrete and their applications are also reviewed. 

The basics from ingredients of concrete to repair and maintenance is covered throughout the workshop and would be very useful to every technician who works with concrete. The methods of design are discussed here which can help the engineers, architects and designers to design the most effective final product of concrete.
