Can you think of construction without concrete? Where do concrete gets its strength, resistance, and utility? This course will teach you the basic cement chemistry. You will learn how cement is made and hydrated with its environmental and economic bene ts. You’ll learn to test samples in isocalorimetry in order to track the hydration and to prepare and observe samples by scanning electron microscopy. Lastly, you will also learn how X-ray diffraction works and how to apply it to cement. Assessment This course does not involve any written exams. Students need to answer 5 assignment questions to complete the course, the answers will be in the form of written work in pdf or word. Students can write the answers in their own time. Each answer needs to be 200 words (1 Page). Once the answers are submitted, the tutor will check and assess the work.
Certification Edukite courses are free to study. To successfully complete a course you must submit all the assignment of the course as part of the assessment. Upon successful completion of a course, you can choose to make your achievement formal by obtaining your Certi cate at a cost of £49. Having an Of cial Edukite Certi cation is a great way to celebrate and share your success. You can: Add the certi cate to your CV or resume and brighten up your career Show it to prove your success Course Credit: École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne
