ENGR 3329 - Concrete Technology with Lab

Credits: 3 Class: 2 Lab: 1
Crosslisted as ET 3320. Prerequisite(s): CHEM 1307 and ENGR 1400.
The course studies the properties of cement, aggregates, chemical admixtures, water/cement ratio, and proportioning of mixtures needed to make a sustainable concrete, with the strength, weight, durability, and performance required. The normativity about handling fresh concrete, formwork, quality control, testing, and inspection of concrete structures is illustrated and analyzed. Students are involved in research with by-product materials used to replace cement or aggregates, obtaining the engineering properties and behavior of the resultant concrete along the time.
