• CIVE 320: Construction Methods and Materials

  3.00 Credits

  Shippensburg University of Pennsylvania

  
  This course provides an introduction to a variety of construction methods and the materials used in them. Students learn about the material properties, such as hardness, torsional strength, and tensile strength. Students will also study the long-term mechanical and non-mechanical properties of various building materials and the physical properties that act on them, such as corrosion, cold and work hardening, and fatigue. Students will also study different construction methods and the applicability of materials to those techniques. Students will carry out lab experiments on materials and will work to design and test scale models. Prerequisite:    CIVE 200 FOR LEVEL U WITH MIN. GRADE OF C
