Prerequisite: CBT1020 with a minimum grade of C or instructor consent.
Structured as a hands-on, shop class. Students will also participate in classroom learning as new topics are introduced. Concrete usage in the industry and the consistency of concrete are the first topics covered in this course. Trade math and volume calculation skills will be applied, as students learn how to estimate concrete cubic yardage for their shop projects. Students will start their hands-on learning by laying out and installing footing forms. The duration of this course will involve students assembling multiple foundation form projects using both job-built forms and form panel systems. Concrete reinforcement is also covered in this course, as students learn how to cut, bend, install and tie the reinforcing rebar for their shop projects.
