Concrete Technology Laboratory

Concrete is one of the important construction materials. Study of its ingredients and their properties is essential for preparing desired mix so as to develop required strength necessary for various types of Structures. The durability of the structures depends upon the ingredients of concrete selected, mixed, placed, compacted and cured. Concrete is used not only for construction of building, but also for concrete roads, gravity dams, retaining walls, water tanks, airport runway pavements, etc.
After performing the experiments the students will be able to assure the various properties of Cement such as fineness, consistency, setting time, soundness, and compressive strength, properties of aggregates such as impact value, crushing value, flakiness index, elongation index, silt content, properties of concrete such as workability, non-destructive testing.
