Abstract
Opportunities and limitations of concrete technology.Commodities and leading edge specialties.
Objective
Advanced education in concrete technology for civil engineers who are designing, specifying and executing concrete structures.
Content
Based on the lecture 'Werkstoffe' students receive deep concrete technology training. Comprehensive knowledge of the most important properties of conventional concrete and the current areas of research in concrete technology will be presented. The course covers various topics, including: - concrete components - concrete properties - concrete mix design - production, transport, casting - demoulding, curing and additional protective measures - durability - standards - chemical admixtures - alternative binders - specialty concretes such as: self compacting concrete, fiber reinforced concrete, fast setting concrete - the role of sustainability in concrete technology - new research in digital fabrication with concrete
