Materials Science (CIVL283)
The fundamentals of materials (atomic bonding, the architecture of solids, development of microstructure, surface properties), behaviour of materials under stress (response of materials to stress, failure and fracture, rheology of fluids and solids fatigue), particulate composites: portland cement and asphalt concretes (particulate composites, aggregates, portland cement concrete, asphalt cements and asphalt concrete).
