Course Objectives |
The general objective of this course is to introduce the students advanced topics in concrete. These topics include cement, cementitious materials, aggregate, fresh concrete properties, admixtures, temperature effects, and properties of concrete in hardened state; microstructure, strength, durability characteristics, and testing of concrete |
Course Learning Outcomes |
The students who succeeded in this course;
-
Identify the relationships between microstructural development and macroscale behavior of cement and concrete.
-
Review technical information in the field of concrete materials and apply this knowledge to improve sustainability of structures engineered from cementitious materials
-
Understand the behavioral characteristics and various properties of hardened concrete and apply this knowledge to property development and performance of hardened concrete
-
Design laboratory tests to perform analysis and evaluations on specific topics of concrete, select materials and design concrete mixtures to ensure good quality concrete for the specific purpose of use
-
Learn to prepare reports and presentations which involves literature survey of research topics about concrete 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.
