Construction Materials for Civil Engineering Course
This course equips civil engineers with expertise in selecting construction materials like concrete and steel for structural elements. Using ASCE 7, ACI, and AISC standards, you'll balance cost, durability, fire safety, and constructability to create efficient, secure designs for floors, roofs, beams, columns, and lateral systems in real-world projects.
