课程概述
The course of Civil Engineering Materials is a basic course for engineering majors including civil, transportation, pavement, bridge, geotechnical engineering, etc. The objectives of the course are to learn the basic knowledge, the properties and technical performance, the application and test methods, the production, storage, and transportation of materials in civil engineering, so that students can select and design materials for different projects, and understand the relationships among materials, design, and construction for the follow-up professional courses.
授课目标
1. The ability to conduct tests evaluating physical, mechanical, and engineering properties of construction materials and prepare lab reports.
2. The ability to select and design material proportions according to local resources, specifications, and project requirements.
3. The ability to conduct research on innovative or enhanced materials for civil engineering.
4. The ability to analyze the life cycle cost and conduct economic analysis on construction materials.
