Theoretical Frameworks in Concrete Technology and Performance

This exam focuses on the fundamental theories governing the properties of concrete as a construction material, addressing its composition, mechanical properties, and durability. Emphasis will be placed on understanding its behavior under various environmental conditions.

Concrete is a crucial material in civil engineering, with its performance significantly impacting the longevity and safety of structures. Insights derived from this examination have profound implications for sustainable construction practices and structural integrity.

The assessment will evaluate students' ability to articulate theoretical concepts related to concrete properties, including stress-strain behavior, thermal expansion, and deterioration mechanisms. Students must demonstrate comprehension through precise verbal responses.

Students are encouraged to familiarize themselves with current standards and testing methods involving concrete materials as part of their preparation.
