| 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. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
