| Course Objectives | The objective of this course is to emphasize the basic structure and general properties of engineering materials, and to examine the design and durability characteristics. In addition, it is aimed to give an understanding on the importance of materials science for civil engineering applications to present information about the properties of construction materials, related standards, test methods and design. |
| Learning Outcomes |
The students who succeeded in this course;
|
| Course Description | In this course, basic information about the structure and general properties of engineering materials is planned to introduce. Within the scope of the course, information is gained to define material properties such as force, stress, strain, deformation, elastic and plastic behavior, brittleness, toughness, ductility, viscosity, resilience, rheological models, creep, hardness and fatigue. It presents basic information about building materials such as gypsum, cement, concrete and it is planned to make a concrete mix design. |
