Course Description Construction involves different types and levels of technology that enable building structures of different magnitudes to be constructed.  This course focuses on technologies, materials and methods employed in construction of building structures and other large building projects. Objectives/Aims To impart knowledge on assembly and performance of building structures: To know the materials, false-works,...Read More

Course Description This course deals with several constitutive models for materials including linear-elastic, non-linear elastic hyper-elastic, hypo-elastic, variable modulii incremental, elastic-perfectly plastic fracture etc. The course also introduces the finite element formulation for elasto-plastic problems. Objectives To expose the student to the several material constitutive models available to predict the structural response of elements subjected...Read More

Course Description The course will extend the research experience of the student through interrogating various materials, concepts and approaches. It will create an entry point through which the supervisor can offer constructive criticism regarding the appropriation and domestication of jewelry from various sources. The course is designed to position the student as a researcher who...Read More
