Syllabus: | Properties and production of specific, commonly utilised Civil Engineering materials (Concrete, Steel, Timber, Asphalt and Geotextiles) are examined, along with methods of calculating stresses and strains in materials under different loading conditions. The behaviour of concrete is investigated with consideration of the effects of constituent composition and proportions (mix design) on fluid state and hardened state properties. Strength and durability properties, production and protection of steel are considered. Strength and behaviour properties of timber and timber products, along with defects, grading, durability and protection are examined. The production, performance and durability of asphaltic concrete and the function of different types of geotextile materials are explored. Geometric properties (Area, Centroid, Elastic and Plastic Moduli, Moment of Inertia) are determined in order to calculate normal and shear stresses due to applied Axial, Bending, Shear and Torsion actions. Material properties (Young’s Modulus, Poisson’s Ratio, Modulus of Rigidity) are examined and utilised in order to determine normal and shear strains due to normal and shear stresses. The basic relationships between normal stress and strain are expanded upon with the investigation into general beam equations, general strain equations, compatibility, composite beam behaviour and plastic behaviour of beams. Shear stresses and strains due to shear forces and torsion in circular shafts are introduced. Biaxial Stress systems, and the combination of normal and shear stresses, are analysed using Mohr’s circles of stress and strain, and stress transformation equations. Combined stresses due to combined loadings complete the stress and strain analysis component of the unit. |
