The students who have succeeded in this course;

Learning Outcomes

1 - Knowledge
Theoretical - Conceptual
1) Students will be able to define basic properties of engineering materials.
2) Students will be able to define the production procedure and engineering properties of metals used as building materials. In addition, students will be able to assess the behaviors of metals used as construction/building materials under loads.
3) Students will be able to define chemical, physical, and mechanical properties of commonly used aggregates. In addition, students will be able to combine different aggregates achieve an appropriate gradation (particle size distribution). They will also be able to design different concrete mixtures for any specific application.
4) Students will be able to define the basic properties of common binders, especially Portland cement. In addition, students will be able to determine the fresh and hardened properties of concrete and cement based composites.
5) Review health & safety regulations and legislation associated with the storage, handling and use of materials on a construction site.
6) Discuss the environmental and sustainability factors which can impact on and influence the material choices for a construction project
7) Evaluate the performance of a given building in respect of its human comfort requirements.
