concrete. Compressive strength, grades of concrete, tensile strength, bond strength, stress strain
characteristics, modulus of elasticity, Poissons ratio, shrinkage and creep, durability, requirement for
material used in concrete as per I.S. code, permeability, chemical attack, Sulphate attack, resistance to
abrasion, cavitations, freezing and thawing, resistance to fire, marine atmosphere.
