| Students will be introduced to cement-based materials with special properties; the materials will include: (i) high-strength concrete, (ii) reactive-powder concrete, (iii) self-consolidating concrete, (iv) roller-compacted concrete, (v) shotcrete, (vi) controlled low-strength material, (vii) flowable fill, (viii) fibre-reinforced concrete, (ix) tremie concrete and (x) macro-defect-free concrete. Students will select one or two topics and present a seminar explaining the fundamental concepts and properties of the selected material. They will also prepare a laboratory class to demonstrate the unique properties the unique properties of the material. Grading will be based on the seminar and laboratory class prepared by individual students, and a quiz based on all the materials studies. |
