Course Description

The design of this module includes advancing the student's

knowledge and understanding about the engineering

performance of concrete technology. This module also aims to

introduce the term of sustainability of concrete as

constructional material. Furthermore, the module tackles

ecological impact of constructional materials, in particular

concrete, on the environment and the life of mankind. The

module will also enrich the student understanding about some

modern types of concrete and practices aimed for sustainable

concrete/construction. The topics of this module includes :

Rheological behaviour, mechanical performance and durability

aspects of self-compacted concrete, Fracture energy of fiber

reinforced concrete, Behaviour and predicting models of free

shrinkage of FRC, Geo-polymer concrete as a modern concrete,

Sustainable Development in Concrete Production, Industrial

Waste Aggregates, Construction and Demolition Waste

Aggregates. The module will be delivered via lectures,

presentations and tutorials.

Course objectives

The main objectives of this module are: - Enriching student’s understanding about modern

concrete (composition and performance) - Advancing student’s understanding about sustainable

development of concrete. - Involving students in presenting reports and involving

them in group discussion. - To develop skills in analysis of literature, laboratory

testing, and paper writing about selected topic of concrete technology.

Student's obligation

To pass this module the students should attend all lectures and complete all tests, exams, review reports and assignments.

Specific learning outcome:

On successful completion of this module the learner will be able to:

1. Identify innovation in concrete constituents (components of SCC, RCC, FRC and geo-polymer concrete).

2. Recognize engineering behavior of SCC, RCC, FRC and geo-polymer concrete.

3. Determine the fracture energy of FRC. 4. Comprehend concepts of sustainability of concrete 5. Analyze the performance of concrete incorporating

aggregate from different waste streams. 6. Compare different assessment tools of restrained

shrinkage of concrete. 7. Write a review paper on a specific topic in modern

concrete technology.
