The practical tools to make a control on the concrete industry and the whole project include the field-testing and the required laboratories facilities and tests will be presented.

Moreover, this course introduces various techniques for evaluating the building under construction.

The course covers modern field measurements such as concrete strength, concrete uniformity and others. In the end of the course the attendees will be familiar with all quality control technique in hot climate
