Language of instruction: The course will be given in Swedish
The main purpose of the course is to give basic knowledge about the structure and properties of most building materials.
Knowledge and understanding
For a passing grade the student must
Competences and skills
For a passing grade the student must
The choices shall be motivated by calculations and the literature
Structure of materials at sub-micro, micro and macro level. Density and porosity and their importance for the material properties. Heat and moisture issues. Strength and deformation properties. Durability. Properties at high temperatures. Test methods and judgement of test results. Production and properties of common materials as for instance concrete, steel, brick, and wood.
The student experiments are performed in groups of six students. They test strength of concrete and steel and study heat and moisture transport. The experiments are examined by a written report.
Grading scale: TH - (U,3,4,5) - (Fail, Three, Four, Five)
Assessment: Written examination. Approved experimental excercises.
The examiner, in consultation with Disability Support Services, may deviate from the regular form of examination in order to provide a permanently disabled student with a form of examination equivalent to that of a student without a disability.
