Description: This course illustrates how each step in the proportioning of a mixture relates to the fresh and hardened properties of concrete. Examples are provided with illustrations that reinforce the fundamental concepts of developing practical concrete mixtures. Developed to enhance the essentials covered during PQS, the Mix Design course provides an in-depth look at how to achieve maximum product performance by creating the perfect mix for each job, examining the role specific admixtures play in improving performance and more. |
