Credit Hours: 3.00. This course provides an introduction to the use, specification and test of common civil engineering construction materials such as steel, aluminum, aggregates, Portland cement concrete, asphalt cement concrete, constituents of masonry, fiber reinforced plastics (FRP’s) and timber. Practicalbehaviors of these materials systems will be emphasized. An understanding of these behaviors will be approached through examination of the materials characteristics. This course will provide introductory details of composites. Typically offered Fall Spring Summer.
