    Uploaded by

    h z
    This document contains a table of contents for a thesis on the properties of materials used in concrete. The table of contents lists 6 chapters that will examine: the literature on cement, aggregates, water, and additives like egg shell powder and silica fume; tests on the properties of the studied materials; strength tests on mortar with different additives; mix design and strength tests on concrete with and without additives; and conclusions on the results. Chapters will include material on the manufacture, composition and hydration of cement, characteristics of aggregates, and standard tests for properties like consistency, setting time, strength and workability of mortar and concrete.
