Question
Hi Sir,I am a final year student of Civil engineering from India. I'm interested in doing my project in concrete technology. Please can u give me a list of final year project topics under this course?.
I am more interested in dealing with a project topic which have some practical part also,rather then just dealing with the theory part.
I have also heard about Green Concrete,can this be taken as the topic for project.
Waiting for ur reply eagerly.

Answer
Hi Heena,

I do not know much about green concrete, maybe it means concrte with fly ash or pozzolana, as that uses less energy to produce. As for other topics, if you had browsed my past answers you will have found this:

Some topics I have listed previously are:

1. High strength concrete
2. Durability of concrete.
3. Optimisation of structures.
4. Punching shear in flat slabs.
5. Long term deflection of concrete beams/slabs.
6. Modern methods of construction.
7. Blast-proof buildings

If you are homing in to materials, you could add:

1. Self-compacting concrete
2. Fibre reinforced concrete
3. Concrete additives
