Final Review CEE375 Spring2014

This document provides an outline of topics to review for the CEE 375 Construction Materials final exam. It includes a long list of concrete, wood, and asphalt-related topics such as cement chemistry, the hydration process, aggregate properties, mix design procedures, fresh and hardened concrete properties, durability topics like corrosion and shrinkage, and testing methods. Students are advised to review their lecture notes, handouts, and textbooks in preparation for the exam which will consist of multiple choice, true/false, short answer, and computational questions.
