The importance of understanding concrete as itpertains to Civil Engineering cannot be emphasized enough. Despite its overwhelming importance, studentscommonly go only skin-deep into comprehending concrete in the typical undergraduate constructionmaterials class. Traditional course materials tend to be mostly text-based, as opposed to being more image-based.
