Course Objective |
One of the major problems involved in concrete is the lack of durability which results in premature failures of concrete structures. Water is generally involved in every form of concrete deterioration as well as the permeability of the material to water which determines its rate of deterioration. Therefore, the nature of concrete, the structure of water and its destructive effects on concrete are discussed. |
