颁贰听530听听Properties of Concrete and Advanced Cement-Based Composites听听(3 credit hours)听听
This course consists of three parts. First part covers basic properties of cements, mineral/chemical admixtures, and concrete production. Second part covers mechanical properties including compressive and tensile strength, multi-axial loading, composite models, and fracture mechanics. Models of porosity and microstructures are also discussed. Third part covers durability and deterioration mechanisms including corrosion of steel in concrete, mass transport, service life prediction. Advanced laboratory techniques are discussed. This course also covers emerging topics such as geopolymers and aluminate cements.
