MABY4800 Advanced Materials and Technologies for Sustainable Structures Emneplan

Hver besvarelse vurderes av en sensor.

Ekstern sensor benyttes regelmessig, og minimum ved hver tredje gjennomføring av emnet. Ved uttrekk av besvarelser til ekstern sensur skal uttrekket omfatte minimum 10 % av besvarelsene, men uansett ikke færre enn 5 besvarelser. Ved uttrekk skal ekstern sensors vurdering komme alle studentene til gode.

No formal requirements over and above the admission requirements.

10 studiepoeng overlapp med MAREH4000 Rehabilitering som kunnskap og praksis, 20 stp.

After completing the course, the student is expected to have achieved the following learning outcomes defined in terms of knowledge, skills, and general competence:

Knowledge:

The student has:

• state-of-the-art knowledge of the application of different types of advanced concrete and steel materials, such as high-performance concrete and steel
• in-depth knowledge to select the optimal material in a construction
• knowledge to design structures with innovative materials
• in-depth knowledge of physical, chemical, mechanical, and thermal properties of innovative concrete and steel materials
• knowledge about the effect of the application of innovative materials on the life cycle of structures
• knowledge about the environmental impact of using innovative materials.

Skills:

The student

• is capable of conducting experimental tests on standard specimens using different types of innovative concrete
• is capable of conducting experimental tests on standard specimens using different types of innovative steel
• can assess the needs and propose the optimum innovative materials for certain design cases
• can describe the difference between conventional and innovative steel and concrete in a different context
• can carry out the basics of life cycle analysis.

General Competence:

The student is able to:

• design structures with innovative materials.
• reduce the environmental impact of construction materials
• assess the need for the application of advanced steel and concrete
• use different types of reviews of scientific articles/reports to gain an overview of the latest developments in advanced steel and concrete
• characterize the properties of high-performance concrete and steel materials.

The teaching consists of lectures and exercises. In addition, the students will carry out a project assignment. The project assignment shall be presented in the form of a scholarly report.

Online lectures could be recorded (if the lecturers allow it), and the material will be made available to students on Canvas.

None.

Assessment/exam

The examination is divided into two parts:

Part 1) Individual written exam (60 minutes), weighted 70%. This part might be multiple-choice questions, questions requiring brief responses, or a combination of both.

Part 2) Project report, prepared by groups of up to 4 students, approx. 20 pages, weighted 30%.

Both parts 1 and 2 must be awarded a passing grade (E or better) for the student to pass the course.

Part 1: No aid is permitted.

Part 2: All aids are permitted.

Graded scale: A -F

Two internal examiners. External sensor is used regularly.
