The aim of the course:
To provide students with a clear presentation of the basics of quality control problems and some difficulties of quality control for concrete
 
Programme OutcomesCTPOTOA
Upon successful completion of the course, the students will be able to :
PO - 1 : gain the ability to practice knowledge of structural mechanics in the mechanical behaviour of concrete.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,111,3
PO - 2 : gain the ability to quality control of concrete with different quality control methods.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,111,3
PO - 3 : determine, define and solve the quality control of concrete.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,111,3
PO - 4 : gain the ability of following various codes, new technology and quality control methods.1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,111,3
