Lectures on the following topics and materials:
• Introduction and stress
• Experimental determination of material properties
• Timber and wood-based materials
• Aggregates
• Cement
• Metallic materials
• Glass
• Concrete
• Asphalt
• Masonry
• New materials, bio-based materials, circular materials
- Previous knowledge expected
-
Fundamental knowledge of physics
- Objective (expected results of study and acquired competences)
-
Students are able to describe the materials presented (production, material properties, physical composition, etc.) and name specific characteristic values. Students are able to outline and describe the load-deformation behavior as well as relevant properties for the structural use of the materials covered. Based on what has been learned, students are able to make a material selection for a specific problem from environmental engineering sciences. Students are familiar with basic laboratory techniques for determining relevant material properties and are able to determine these independently.
