Prerequisite : 110103107
Credit  : 3
Theory credit : 2
Practical Credit : 3
Course Discription : This course deals with the basic geology construction materials such as concrete, timber, steel, polymers and ceramics and its terminology. This course covers manufacturing process of various engineering materials, basic ingredients, structure and mechanical properties of engineering materials, material degradation and failure modes, construction behavior, durability, mix procedures, failure modes and materials selection; and mechanical testing of construction materials. This course is divided into two parts: theoretical and practical. The theoretical part contains an overview of the various materials used in construction. The students will learn about materials and their physical chemical and mechanical properties. In addition to the product manufacturing techniques and how they relate to the properties of the various materials. Furthermore, material applications in structural and non-structural building components are explored. The practical part will include lab tests to know the different tests that can be conducted on the building materials in order to gauge their properties. The students will undertake task, and field trips to enhance their actual ability to take on real construction projects. Resulting from this course, students will gain a comparative knowledge of material properties and possible applications in construction and architecture.
