Objectives of the Course
Composite materials provide stiff, strong, lightweight materials of high corrosion resistance, excellent fatigue resistance, and may be electrically conducting. Provided they can be fashioned to shape at acceptable cost there are many applications emerging. They are gaining ground in civil engineering where the light weight and excellent corrosion resistance makes them the preferred materials for repair of the transportation infrastructure: bridges, roads, tunnels, etc.
