This course examines the materials used in the construction and maintenance of infrastructure and highways. This course focuses on understanding the properties, performance, and applications of traditional and modern materials such as asphalt, concrete, steel, and innovative composites used in road construction. Through lectures, lab experiments, and field visits, students will learn about material selection, testing standards, and sustainability practices in the context of infrastructure development.
Upon successful completion of this course, students will be able to:
These outcomes aim to prepare students for roles in civil engineering and construction management, focusing on the critical aspects of materials science that impact the quality and sustainability of infrastructure projects.
