What do Engineers do?


Design and Build .... As Civil Engineers we design and build civil structures (residental buildings, hospitals, dams, roads, towers, ...) Materials Science and Engineering forms the bedrock for the engineering disciplines because the structures, components, and devices that engineers design and use must be made out of something, and that is a material.

The properties of the materials that are available define and limit the capabilities that the device or structure can have, and the techniques that can be used to fabricate it.
Reinforced Concrete Bridges... ~5-10 m in span Prestressed Concrete Bridges... ~ 30-40 m in span Steel Bridges... ~ 60-70 m in span

Selecting the best material is usually a difficult task, requiring tradeoffs between different material properties (including cost)

Cost of a residential building:


65-75% materials cost 5% technical personel Rest is the labor cost

Therefore, an appreciation of the important materials characteristics, the connection between the behavior of the material in its intended design setting, and the stuff the object is made from (and how it is made) is important to every engineer, even if they will never create a new material but simply choose from standard and widely available ones.

As civil engineers our job is to:


To make sure that the structure is functional during its service life (it should be strong) To make sure that the structure should withstand the environment (it should be durable) To make sure that the structure is aesthetic and economic (it should be feasible)

We need to know the properties of constructional materials.


Physical, chemical and mechanical properties Manufacturing processes Its behavior in its final form

The service life of a civil engineering structure does not ONLY depend on
How good its design is How good its labor is

You have to consider other factors such as:


How good the material that you pick is How good the quality control is How you maintain the structure!

Think about the maintenance requirements of


your car ! your house !

To conclude:

Why do we need to know materials?

Every engineer, whether mechanical, civil, chemical or electrical, will at some point deal with a design problem involving materials. Examples might include a transmission gear, the superstructure of a building, an oil refinery component, or an integrated circuit chip.

Materials Science

Materials Science: The study of the nature, behavior and use of materials.

The purpose of this course is to: Learn the properties of materials


(strength, ductility, impact resistance, ...)

Learn the internal structure of materials


(the atomic structure, bonding, ...)

Learn how the internal structure of a material affects its properties


Metals: Metallic bonding ductility Ceramics: Ionic and covalent bods brittleness Plastics: Covalent and Van der Waals bondsmoisture resistance

Properties of Materials

Mechanical : Define the behavior of the materials under loads. (Strength, elasticity, plasticity, ductility, hardness, etc.) Physical : Density, porosity, moisture content, shape, surface texture, etc. Chemical : Oxide or compound composition Physico-chemical : Shrinkage, swelling Thermal : Conductivity Acoustical : Sound transmission or absorption Optical : Color

Classification of Civil Engineering Materials


This classification can be done in so many different ways: According to their state According to their chemical composition and internal structure According to their intended use According to their mechanical behavior

1. According to Their State

Gases (CO2, O2) Liquids (Water, Chemical Admixtures) Solids (Concrete, Steel)
Semi-solids (Fresh Pastes, Mortar, Concrete)

2. According to Their Chemical Composition and Internal Structure

Metals Metallic bond


Polymers Long chain molecules


Ferrous (Iron, steel) Non-ferrous (Aluminum)

Ceramics Alumino silicates


Natural (rubber, resin, wood) Artificial (plastics) Structural clay products Porcelains

Composite Materials combination of several materials


Reinforced Composite Materials


Concrete Cement sandstone

Reinforced concrete Fiber reinforced plastics

3. According to Their Intended Use


Structural Materials (concrete, steel, wood) Architectural Detailing Materials (glass, paint, heat and sound insulators) Preservatives (paint) But some materials fall into all of the above groups for example wood.

Load carrying member Architectural Coating of chipboard

4. According to Their Mechanical Behavior

Elastic Materials They deform under some load and when the load is removed they return back to their original position

Load Deformation

Plastic Materials They deform under some load, but when the load is removed there will be some permanent deformation
P

perm: Permanent Deformation

Viscoelastic Materials The load-deformation depends on the rate of loading

Load

Deformation
