Handbook

This course is offered to Final year Civil Engineering students. The course is largely research focused. It deals with the most important factors that affect durability of concrete and offers the participants the opportunity to deeply understand the chemical and physical processes that accompany concrete development and the mechanisms that may result in its deterioration. Students are required to produce individually authored reports and present a scientific talk on their work. The course will be run using lectures, seminars and workshop style discussions. Students are expected to further employ the knowledge and experience that they gain from this course, in their future design solutions and documentations as well as enhancing their research skills and reporting competency.
