  • Porosity and Pore Structure

    This module explores the study of porosity and pore structure. You will be introduced to pore sizes, the distribution of pores in the volume of a material and their significance with respect to the kind of performance exhibited. Next, you will be introduced to the techniques used to assess the extent of porosity available in the system.

    Electrical Impedance Analysis

    This module explores how the influence of binding materials on the resistivity of the concrete plays a great role in enhancing the durability of special binder systems. You will be introduced to issues with measurement of resistivity, porosity calculation, as well as studies on concrete and equivalent circuit modelling.
