Course Objective and Content

Course Objectives:

1 to define the concept of stress-strain relationship of concrete.
2 to express the modulus of elasticity of concrete
3 to distinguish load independent volume changes of concrete
4 to implement basic rheological models for concrete
5 to define factors affecting volume changes of concrete

Course Content:

In this course the nonlinearity in the stress-strain relation of concrete, various types of elastic moduli and the methods of their assessment are discussed. Explanations are provided as why and how aggregate, cement paste, transition zone, and testing parameters affect the modulus of elasticity. Major parameters that affect drying shrinkage and creep as well as various rheological models and the methods of predicting creep and shrinkage are described. The concepts of extensibility, tensile strain capacity and their significance to concrete cracking are introduced.
