A Guide to Basics of Concrete
Introduction:
Concrete is
widely used in domestic, commercial, recreational, rural and educational
construction. Communities around the world rely on concrete as a safe, strong
and simple building material. It is used in all types of construction; from
domestic work to multi-storey office blocks and shopping complexes. Despite the
common usage of concrete, few people are aware of the considerations involved
in designing strong, durable, high quality concrete. This course aims to
provide a clear, concise explanation of all aspects of making quality concrete;
from the Materials and Properties involved through Planning, Preparation,
Finishing and Curing.
This course
addresses the needs of unskilled and semi-skilled persons undertaking general
concreting projects including home and handyman projects. Concrete Basics also
assists owner builders in the supervision of construction. It aims to develop
an understanding of highly technical terms through clear definition accompanied
by simple illustrations. A general understanding of these terms will help to
facilitate communication within the building industry. It will help to generate
a higher standard of workmanship on-site and facilitate better communication
among construction workers, builders, engineers, building surveyors, architects
and anyone interested in understanding the processes involved in making quality
concrete.
