Course synopsis This course is designed for students to understand the different types of construction
materials used in civil engineering. It will emphasize on types, properties, and function
of cement, aggregates, water, admixtures in concrete; properties of fresh and hardened
concrete, concrete mix design method, manufacturing concrete on site; test of hardened
concrete; timber - properties, characteristics, manufacturing, and applications, masonry
- types and characteristics of brick and block, mortar in masonry work, ferrous and non-
ferrous metal, and other latest materials in construction industry. At the end of the
course students should be able to describe, identify and discuss the properties and
behaviour of different types of civil engineering materials together with the selection of
the right materials for applications in practice.
