Description

In this course trainees will become generally familiar with various processes of cast in place concrete operations. Besides, trainees will be able to recognize hazards associated with typical cast in place concrete operations. Furthermore, Trainees will be able to avoid health hazards associated with concrete. Briefly, in nonscientific terms, explain the physical nature of concrete and reinforced concrete, so trainees have a better ‘big picture’ perspective of concrete as a fundamental building material.
