PO - 1 : get acquainted with the basic componets of concrete.1,21
PO - 2 : explain concrete as a composite material.1,21
PO - 3 : explain the microstructure of concrete and hydration products.1,21
PO - 4 : get familiar with the transition zone in concrete and its importance in relation with the behavior of concrete under external loading1,21,3
PO - 5 : explain the relation of strength-deformation of concrete under external load.1,21,3
CTPO : Contribution to programme outcomes, TOA :Type of assessment (1: written exam, 2: Oral exam, 3: Homework assignment, 4: Laboratory exercise/exam, 5: Seminar / presentation, 6: Term paper), PO : Learning Outcome
