Building on the engineering, materials, and structural concepts of Materials and Structures I, this course explores concrete as a material (components, manufacture, installation, and mix design), and in terms of its structural uses. Soils and aggregates (origin, analysis, and classification) and earthwork/compaction concepts are also surveyed. Laboratory testing of these materials is included. These two broad topics are then combined with masonry concepts to discuss foundations, retaining walls, slabs, and footings. Finally, lateral systems within a structure are discussed. An overall curriculum project (which will refer back to M&S I) will examine a real-world structural system, including loading, engineering, materials, and construction aspects.prereq: CMgt 4544
