Course Introduction
|
|
The modern civil engineer
needs to deal with traditional construction materials as well as advanced
materials. Traditional construction materials, such as timber, steel, asphalt
and Portland cement concrete are often used in many construction projects.
Modern materials, such as polymers and composites are making headway into the
construction industry. Significant research on these materials has led to
better understanding of these materials and improved their strength and
durability performance. The traditional materials used today are far superior
to those of the past, and new materials are being specially developed to
satisfy the needs of civil engineering applications.
