Answer
Hello Collin,

I am not fully aware of the tests that can be performed for Concrete Durability as I am currently undertaking Concrete Design myself this semester. However, I have provided some links with some info which might be of some help to you:

I will explain unclear concepts and suggest approaches to solving problems, but would prefer not to completely solve homework problems for you. If you are completely stumped on homework/assignment I will do my best to try and guide you in the right direction. Also willing to give advice on issues not related to study although related to civil engineering.

I have been studying for 5 years in Civil Engineering and have a sound knowledge of various civil engineering subjects. I have also worked as a consultant in the Roads and Highways Department for Sinclair Knight Merz (SKM).
