Concrete Construction: 6 PDH

$36.00

More concrete is used than any other man-made material in the world, about seven billion cubic meters of concrete – more than one cubic meter for every person on Earth.
Concrete is one of the most important construction materials. It is comparatively economical, easy to make, offers continuity and solidity, and will bond with other materials.
In this course the student will understand essentially all aspects of concrete construction including characteristics, mix design, formwork, joints, placement, finishing, and pre-cast. Instructor: Raymond Bosek, PE
