MATERIALS TESTING AND MEASUREMENTS

Course Description

Materials testing, measurement of the characteristics and behaviour of such substances as aggregates cements, concrete, ceramics, or plastics under various conditions. The data thus obtained can be used in specifying the suitability of materials for various applications (e.g., building). Materials testing breaks down into five major categories: mechanical testing; testing for thermal properties; testing for electrical properties; testing for resistance to corrosion, radiation, and biological deterioration; and nondestructive testing. General features of mechanical testing; measurement of load, length and deformation – common testing apparatus; static tension and compression tests; hardness tests; impact tests; creep tests of concrete; non-destructive test for concrete; analysis and presentation of test data; instructions for laboratory work.
