Syllabus: | Materials: General civil engineering material performance requirements: strength, stiffness, durability, appearance. Concrete: mix design, effects of constituent composition and proportions on fluid state and hardened state properties, concrete placement and curing. Steel: production and properties of steel, steel grades, effect of alloys, protection from corrosion and fire. Timber: properties of timber, defects, durability, grading. Asphalt cements: production and distillation, testing, modifications for particular applications, road tars, durability. Geosynthetics: overview of available materials, geotextile functions and mechanisms, designing with geotextiles. Stresses in materials: review of axial stress and strain; Young's modulus; normal stresses; Poisson's ratio; elastic and plastic section moduli. Composite beams. Shear stress and strain. Biaxial stress systems: Mohr's circle of stress; Mohr's circle of strain, thin-walled vessels; three-dimensional stress and strain; combined stresses due to combined loading; and torsion in circular sections. |
