Syllabus

1. Influence of different types of plasticizers on the properties of fresh and hardened concrete. The proposed composition concrete strength class C 25/30, the test Slumps for determining the consistency of fresh concrete. Production of test specimens (cubes 150 mm) to determine the density and strength of concrete at 28 d of age. Influence of water-cement ratio on the consistency of fresh concrete and concrete compressive strength. Design of concrete composition with two types of plasticizers for the production of fresh concrete with a Slump consistency S3. Production of test specimens (cubes 150 mm) to determine the density and strength of concrete after 28 days. 2. SCC Self Compacting Concrete. The theoretical nature of all types of testing methods to verify the workability of fresh concrete and practical testing in laboratories. Mixing the concrete composition according to prescribed tests and settlement Slumps flow test, L-box, V-funnel test, Orimet + J ring test. The proposed composition SCC on the specified value Slump flow 750 mm. Use of additives and effective plasticizers for concrete. Visual assessment and determining the consistency of fresh concrete. Production of test specimens for determining the compressive strength at the age of 7 and 28 days. Determination of physical or mechanical properties of specimens previous exercises. 3. SCRFCC Self Compacting Concrete with reinforcement. Design of concrete composition using two types of dispersed reinforcement (polypropylene fibers and steel fibers). Assessment of Slump flow test and L-box on the fresh concrete. Production of test specimens to determine the compressive strength and flexural strength. Determination of physical or mechanical properties of specimens from the previous exercise. 4. LWSCC Light Weight Self Compacting Concrete. Production of Self Compacting Concrete using lightweight aggregate Liapor in two fractions 0-1 and 0-4 mm. Execution of test-spill settlement and L-box on the fresh concrete. Production of test specimens to determine the compressive strength. 5. ULWSCC Ultra Light Weight Self Compacting Concrete. Production SCC using a foaming additive for the reduction of density of the concrete. Influence of additives on the density of fresh concrete, manufacture of test specimens for the determination of density and compressive strength after 7 days of curing. Determination of physical or mechanical properties of specimens from the previous exercise. 6. HSC High Strength Concrete. Based on the theoretical design of concrete composition using aggregates of higher density to obtain a compressive strength of more than 60 MPa. Determination of consistence of fresh concrete and manufacture of test specimens to determine the compressive strength. 7. Architectural concrete. Presentation of the most interesting buildings of modern architecture using modern types of concrete and their application in modern design (furniture, sculpture, jewelery, etc.). The creative activity of students in laboratories, manufacture of articles based on your own design using various techniques of production. 8. KSC concrete. The use of aggregate cements bonded to the underlying layer traffic engineering. The following three types of KSC mixtures and perform basic tests Proctor Standard. Based on the test determining the optimum moisture mixture. 9. Determination of physical or mechanical properties of specimens from the previous exercise. 10. Excursion. 11. Credit test, inspection reports, attendance, and the credit if you meet all the requirements.
