Course Content
|
The course aims to give understanding of sustainability facts and environmental impacts of concrete as the most-widely used material of construction. The course also introduces innovative materials and practice in order to improve performance and durability of concrete mixtures while decreasing the carbon-footprint and other environmental impacts of concrete. More specifically, it covers the tailoring of concrete mixtures with a sustainable approach, recycling of concrete, innovative practices in ready-mix concrete plants for sustainability and life-cycle assessment of concrete mixtures. The teaching-learning method of the course consists of lectures, individual literature and practice research and laboratory group works.
