Soils and Materials Testing

Catalog description

The purpose of this course is to help students gain an understanding of the engineering properties of construction materials and soils. Lab tests are performed on soil, aggregates, concrete and steel. The results of these tests are then used to determine the strengths and weaknesses of each material related to their use in civil engineering. WisDOT Certification for PCCTec I/IA (Portland Cement Concrete Technician) is also available as part of this course. Prerequisite(s): Complete CIVIL-105.
