Overordnede kursusmål
The course should provide the students with a detailed understanding of typically used techniques for characterization of cementitious materials and the ability to interpret data generated.
Læringsmål
En studerende, der fuldt ud har opfyldt kursets mål, vil kunne:
  • Detailed understanding of the physical principles of commonly used techniques for characterization of cementitious materials.
  • Basic knowledge in sampling and sample preparation.
  • Basic knowledge on the possibilities to predict kind and amount of phases: ternary diagrams, mass balance calculations and short introduction to thermodynamic modelling
  • Ability to select appropriate techniques for characterization of cementitious materials, considering limitations and pitfalls
  • Ability to interpret data from TGA, XRD etc.
  • Ability to predict kind and amount of phases using ternary diagrams and mass balance calculations
  • Ability to analyze, reflect and argue on a scientific basis
  • Ability to use theoretical considerations for interpretation of experimental data
  • Communication of the analysis and results of selected characterization data in both an oral presentation and a written report.
Kursusindhold
The course contains several aspects:
1) the students shold prepaare for the course by reading in "A practical guide to microstructural Analysis of Cementitious Materials” CRC Press 2016.
2) Selected chapters will be presented in lectures by recognized specielists.
3) The students will work in groups with exercise data, in which each group shall identify what typoe of data-set has been investigated. The results of the group work are to be presented orally.
4) After the course, each student will write a report that shows the succesful application of the learning objectives in their own research.
The report will be evaluated as pass/fail exam.
