Theory examination:
- The question paper will comprise of six questions; each carrying 20 marks.
- The first question will be compulsory and will have short questions having weightage of 4-5 marks covering the entire syllabus.
- The remaining five questions will be based on all the modules of the entire syllabus. For this, the modules shall be divided proportionately and further, the weightage of the marks shall be judiciously awarded in proportion to the importance of the sub-module and contents thereof.
- The students will have to attempt any three questions out of remaining five questions.
- Total four questions need to be attempted
Oral Examination:
The oral examination shall be based on the entire syllabus and experiments performed in the laboratory.
List of Practical (Any Eight to be performed):
- Mix design in laboratory by ACI Method.
- Mix design in laboratory by Road Note 4
- Chemical Admixture (Superplasticiser) optimization by Mini Slump and Marsh cone.
- Concrete- Slump, Slump retention by Slump cone.
- Split and Modulus of rupture of concrete.
- Permeability test on concrete.
- Rapid chloride penetration test
- Tests on polymer modified concrete/mortar.
- Tests on fiber-reinforced concrete.
- Nondestructive testing of concrete- some applications (hammer, ultrasonic etc).
- Carbonation test on concrete.
- Pull out/ pull off test on concrete.
Term Work: It shall consist of the following:
- Neatly written report of afore mentioned experiments (at least eight)
- Presentation on any emerging trend in concrete technology.
- At least one assignment on each module.
Distribution of the Term Work Marks: The marks of the term work shall be judiciously awarded for the various components of the term work and depending upon the quality of the term work. The final certification and acceptance of term work warrants the satisfactory performance of laboratory work by the student, appropriate completion of the assignments. The following weightage of marks shall be given for different components of the term work.
- Report of the Experiments: 10 Marks
- Assignments: 05 Marks
