Concrete Engineering and Technology Prof. Sudhir Misra Department of Civil Engineering Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur Lecture - 6 Basic properties of concrete (Refer Slide Time: 00:21) And welcome to this lecture on concrete engineering and technology, which is a course where we are trying to revise the basic principle underlying concrete science and engineering developing a framework, which helps us understand the present day scenario in concrete construction. Going through some of the issues involved in special and high performance concrete and their quality control testing, which includes performance based thinking; durability and maintenance as far as concrete structures are concerned. Now, we have seen this picture before, which gives as basic model as to how we are going to view reinforced concrete in this discussion. This is the concrete surrounding the reinforcing steel which is an integral part of reinforced concrete construction, and this concrete is made up of coarse aggregates suspended in mortar, or paste which is cement and water.
