2002 Final Projects
2000 Final Projects
course syllabus
GENERAL INFORMATION
The course involves lectures and laboratory work. The course is focused on the
study of actual mechanical behavior of engineering materials through experimental
methods. The theoretical background and technique for testing are extensively
discussed. The lab work involves several major projects as well as various testing
demonstrations. Most of the projects involve specimen design, analysis, instrumentation,
theoretical prediction, etc. The class is divided into groups, with each group
responsible for all aspects of the particular projects.
Texts:
Class and lab will be mainly based on lecture notes (available, soon, over the web). There are no required texts.
The followings are relevant reference texts.
"The Science and Technology of Civil Engineering Materials,'' J. F. Young; S. Mindess; R.J. Gray; and A. Bentur, Prentice Hall, 1998.
"The Testing of Engineering Materials," H.E. Davis, G.E. Troxell and G.F.W. Hauck, McGraw-Hill Book Company.
"Design and Control of Concrete Mixtures," S.H. Kosmatka and W.C. Panarese, Portland Cement Association.
"Mechanical Behavior of Materials," Engineering Methods for Deformation, Fracture, and Fatigue, Norman E. Dowling.
"Experimental Stress Analysis," The Third Edition, James W. Dally and William F. Riley.
Grading:
Final grade (100%) will be composed of
" 5% Attendance record for lecture and lab
" 20% Homework and Project Report
" 30% Midterm Exams, 1 and 2
" 25% Final Exam
" 20% Class project and presentation
Grade ranges: 60-69: C-, C and C+; 70-84: B-, B, B+; 85-100: A-, A, A+.
