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; torsion in circular sections.
