CIVL 6156

The purpose of this course is to introduce the student to various fibre composites and to provide information on their constituent materials, fabrication, mechanical performance and applications in Civil Engineering infrastructure. Interaction between fibres and matrix, behaviour under tensile, flexure, fatigue and impact loading, properties of fibre reinforced composites are studied. Special fibre reinforced composite systems like laminates, wraps, and rebars and different application procedures like structural rehabilitation and new constructions are also covered.
