Course Aims | The aim of this course is to teach the students the properties of mineral, chemical and nano additives used in concrete and other cementitious composite materials, their usage purposes, advantages and disadvantages, usage rates and methods. |
Course Goals | Student learns the classes, types, properties and usage areas of additives. |
Learning Outcomes of The Course Unit | The student knows the mineral, chemical and nano additives used in concrete and other cemented composites. They explain the purpose, methods, proportions of these materials, their effect on fresh and hardened concrete strength and durability. |
Course Contents | Chemical additives; Water reducer super and hyperplasticizers, set accelerators, set retarders, air driers, viscosity regulators, shrinkage reducers, water repellents, water retainers etc..
Mineral additives; Fly ashes, silica fume, metakaolen, rice husk ash, amorphous silica, calcined natural pozzolans and the like. Also polypropylene, glass fiber, carbon fiber, basalt type fiber materials.
Nano additives; Carbon nano tubes, graphenes, nano fibers, nano silica, nano calcium carbonate etc.

Work Placements |
As with any other educational component, credits for work placements are only awarded when the learning outcomes have been achieved and assessed. If a work placement is part of organised mobility (such as Farabi and Erasmus), the Learning Agreement for the placement should indicate the number of credits to be awarded if the expected learning outcomes are achieved. |
