COURSE DESCRIPTION |
||||||
|
|
The technology of construction materials will be studied throughout the course. The structure, the manufacture and the uses of different construction materials will be inclueded. These construction materials are the Steel, the wood, the cement, the bituminous materials, the aggregate, and the building stones. |
|||||
|
|
||||||
|
INTENDED LEARNING OUTCOMES After completing this course students should be able to: |
||||||
|
|
Be familiar with common crystal structures of metals and the constituents and structure of cements, mortars, concrete, bricks, timber , stones and plastics; Describe the main characteristics of common manufacturing processes; Explain how the composition and structure of these materials determine their performance, limitations and applications; Relate material performance to the structure of the material; Recognize aspects of sustainable construction (including durability) associated with the use of construction materials Be familiar with design method for concrete and bituminous materials |
