MP180 Construction Materials 1
3 hoursper week Hawthorn Prerequisities: nil
Instruction: lectures, tutorials, laboratory work Assessment:
examinations 65%, assignments and lab reports 35%
This is a first year subject in Bachelor of Technology
(Building Surveying).
Content
This subject will assist students to understand the
relationship between the structures and properties of
material and to be able to apply this to the selection of
materials for typical building applications. Case studies and
laboratory experiments eill be used to describe the
relationship between performance, properties and structure
of the following common building materials: metals,
concrete, glasses, bricks and timber.

This is a second year subject in Bachelor of Technology
(Building Surveying).
Content
The aim of this subject is to develop and extend students
knowledge of the properties and behaviour of materials
relevant to building applications. This subject will give
detailed treatment of metals with particular reference to steel
and aluminium. Processes for forming, strengthening, heat
treatment, joining and modes of failure will be examined.
