Mechanics in Civil Engineering Materials.

Catalog description

PR: ( MAE 241 and MATH 156 ) with a minimum grade of C-. An introductory course in the mechanical behavior materials, with special application to the range of topics needed by civil engineers and focuses on materials unique to civil engineers, like concrete, asphalt, aggregates, etc. The course material covers internal strains, stresses and deformations, material properties, fatigue, Mohr’s circle and applications of numerical methods. Problems with civil engineering applications will be covered.
