<p>This unit introduces students to the fundamentals of concrete technology, covering its essential properties and applications. Students explore concrete basics, durability, mix design, and techniques for addressing common defects. Through theory and laboratory practice, students learn to assess concrete properties, ensuring suitability for diverse construction projects. Additionally, students delve into vital aspects of building and bridge construction, as well as residential sub-division development.</p>
