Durable Concrete, Cement, Aggregate and Mix Design

There are many misconceptions and wrong practices are going on related to concrete, cement, aggregate, mix ratio etc. Even many of the civil engineers do not understand the issues. I hope this short course will help them a lot. Ordinary people also seem to understand something. The Concrete mix design is simply presented. There is a guideline on how to make quality concrete by volumetric batching suitable for Bangladesh. After doing this course, you will understand how important it was for you to do this course.
