Providing a practical understanding of design and characterization of advanced concrete materials, this course is intended for graduate and senior undergraduate students who want to advance their knowledge in new concepts of materials in construction. Topics include the study of properties at the nanoscale and how they affect the material's properties at the macro level. Lectures will focus on the advances in the design and technology of cement based materials, with particular emphasis on the evolution of nanotechnology in construction. Prerequisite: CE 3361.
