Learning Outcomes

The students who have succeeded in this course;

Learning Outcomes

1 - Knowledge
Theoretical - Conceptual
1) Students will be able to define the basic principles of advanced concrete technology.
2) Students will be able to comprehend the design and production technology of different special concretes/cementitious composites. In addition, dtudents will be able to examine the behavior of special concretes/cementitious composites under different loads.
3) Students will be able to define the rheological properties, microstructures and mechanical properties of different special concretes/cement based composites. Thus, they will be able to decide which special concrete/cementitious composite type will be more suitable for which application.
2 - Skills
Cognitive - Practical
3 - Competences
Communication and Social Competence
Learning Competence
Field Specific Competence
Competence to Work Independently and Take Responsibility
1) Students will be able to make an effective literature review/survey about a special concrete/cementitious composite. In addition, students will develop their scientific presentation skills.
