Colloidal materials; microstructure of concrete (2hr)
Microstructure of wood, bitumens and sealants (3hr)
Introduction to dislocations (3hr)
Yielding under stress; ductile failure (4hr)
Fracture mechanisms (3hr)
Brittle fracture (3hr)
Fracture of concrete, wood and asphaltic concrete (2hr)
Fatigue (2hr)
Creep and thermal properties (2hr)
Durability (3hr)
Heat treatment of steels (2hr)
Phase diagrams; time-temperature-transition diagrams (3hr)
Composites (3hr)
Hour exams (2)
TOTAL HOURS FOR LECTURE: 44
