| Overall Educational Objective | To develop basic understanding of key material properties, requirements, and related behavior characteristics of typical construction materials. | ||||
| Course Description | This course will familiarize the student with atomic and crystal structure, stress-strain relationship, mechanical properties of materials, failure theories, cementitious materials, fresh and hardened properties of cementitious materials based on properties of constituent materials. Properties of certain construction materials will be determined through specified laboratory experiments and the resulting data will be analyzed. | ||||
| Course Description in Turkish | Bu derste malzemelerin atomik ve kristal yapısı, gerilme-şekil değiştirme ilişkileri, malzemelerin mekanik özelikleri, kırılma teorileri, çimentolu malzeme karışımları ve bunların taze ve sertleşmiş özelikleri incelenmektedir. Yapı malzemelerinin özelikleri laboratuvar deneyleri ile tayin edilecek ve sonuçlar incelenecektir. |
Course Learning Outcomes and CompetencesUpon successful completion of the course, the learner is expected to be able to:1) evaluate basic mechanical properties of metals, and analyze the stress-strain relationships considering atomic bonding, atomic arrangements in crystal structures, and effects of crystal defects; 2) discuss the mechanics of the various failure modes (fracture, fatigue, and creep) and present a case study in collaboration with team members; 3) measure physical properties of constituent materials for concrete mixtures, prepare mixtures, and evaluate fresh and hardened properties using various test methods as a member of a team; 4) prepare written lab reports that clearly communicate experimental results, analysis, and relationship to the material properties by addressing uncertainties. |
