JAWAHARLAL NEHRU TECHNOLOGICAL UNIVERSITY HYDERABAD

Course Objectives

To impart knowledge on testing procedures for determining the properties of the

materials used in concrete making.

Course Outcomes

The learner will be able to effectively use the results of different tests for

recommending the materials for making good concrete.

• 1. Evaluation of properties of cement, fine aggregates and coarse aggregates.
• 2. Evaluation of properties of reinforcing steel, timber, building block and tile.
• 3. Variation of workability with time for different grades of concrete experimental observations.
• 4. Experimental observation on influence of following parameters on strength characteristics of concrete (Some of these parameters may be considered depending up on time)
• i. Size, shape and grade of course aggregate.
• ii. Grading of fine aggregate.
• iii. Hand Mixing/ Machine Mixing.
• iv. Aggregate- Cement Ratio.
• v. Coarse aggregate- Fine aggregate Ratio.
• vi. Size and shape of Test specimen.
• vii. Admixtures. R19 M.TECH CONSTRUCTION MGMT. M.TECH.- I YEAR- I SEMESTER CONSTRUCTION MANAGEMENT
