Hi,
I’ve just published a new post on DegreeTutors.com. It’s an introduction to concrete in which I talk about:
- Historical use of concrete
- Concrete in modern construction
- Hydration and strength gain
- Strength classification
- Stress-strain behaviour of concrete
- Shrinkage and thermal movement
- Creep
- The environmental cost and sustainability concerns
If you’re completing or plan to complete my new course on reinforced concrete design, this post is worth reading as a precursor.
