Course Objectives
- To test the basic properties of the constituent materials of concrete and properties of fresh and <br />hardened concrete
- To verify theoretical structural behaviour by conducting experiments
Course Outcomes
(1) Students will be able to conduct laboratory tests on building materials as per relevant Indian standards. <br />(2) Students will be able to perform laboratory tests on scaled structural models.
