AIMS AND CONTENT

LEARNING OUTCOMES

Provide the elements needed to understand the mechanical, functional properties and durability of materials. Provide the criteria for the choice of materials with particular reference to structural applications.

AIMS AND LEARNING OUTCOMES

Provide the elements needed to understand the mechanical and functional properties and durability of the materials. Provide the criteria for the choice of materials with particular reference to materials for structural applications. The student will acquire the ability to choose the material based on the features of the project and to address the problems of material degradation.

TEACHING METHODS

Lectures, exercises in the classroom (60 hours)

SYLLABUS/CONTENT

Material classes: materials used in construction, mechanical  and functional properties. Chemical-physical bases of material properties: chemical bonds, crystalline structures and microstructure. Mechanical properties: elastic modulus, yield point and tensile strenght. microstructure and property and relationship.

Introduction to Chemical Thermodynamics and Phase Diagrams.

Metal materials: Steel, production and thermal treatments, mechanical properties, weldability.

Non-ferrous alloys for building and architecture.

Properties and the production process of traditional ceramic materials and glass. Properties and uses of ceramic materials.

Bonding materials: plaster, lime and cements, set and hardening mechanisms. Properties and composition of fresh and hardened concrete.

Degradation factors of concrete and mortar.

Corrosion of metal materials.

Polymeric and composite materials: production processes, mechanical and functional properties, viscoelasticity, use in the construction industry.
