Objectives
Provide basic training in the field of materials and laboratory techniques for testing. Student must be able to: select materials; study an aggregate; determine the mix of two or more aggregates, study the composition of a concrete; to do concrete tests.
Program
1-Aggregates.Properties of raw materials, particle size analysis 2-Mortars: definition, types, properties, shrinkage, adhesion and additives. 3-Concrete. Classes of concrete, environmental exposure, study of the composition of concrete, tests on fresh and hardened concrete.4-Binders: definition, air and hydraulic binders, cements.
Evaluation Methodology
Assessment is based on the reports (20%) and on a written test (80%). In the written test a minimum mark of 9.5/20 must be obtained.
An average mark of at least 9.5/20 is required to pass.
