| Course Objectives |
The general objective of this course is to introduce the students advanced topics in materials of construction. These topics include microstructures of concrete, steel and composites, differences and similarities in response to loading and environmental effects on these materials, with emphasis on strength, elastic properties, creep, shrinkage, thermal stresses, and failure mechanisms, emerging materials in construction. |
| Course Learning Outcomes |
The students who succeeded in this course;
-
Identify the relationships between microstructural development and macroscale behavior of steel, composites and concrete.
-
Review technical information in the field of construction materials and apply this knowledge to improve sustainability of engineered structures
-
Understand the behavioral characteristics and various properties of construction materials and apply this knowledge to property development and performance of these materials.
-
Design laboratory tests to perform analysis and evaluations on specific topics of construction materials, select materials for the specific purpose of use
-
Learn to prepare reports and presentations which involves literature survey of research topics about construction materials and demonstrate improved technical communication skills, both written and oral
-
Comprehensive study of a specific civil engineering problem selected so as to integrate the knowledge acquired in the graduate program of study.
