CEGE0057 Advanced Civil Engineering Materials: Individual Coursework Brief

Introduction

Reinforced concrete is the most widely used modern construction material in the world, where concrete composed of cement, water and aggregates provides the compressive strength, while steel  reinforcement  improves the tensile and shear  properties and  provides a degree of crack resistance. Nowadays, one of the major challenges facing civil engineers and construction industry is to provide sustainable and durable infrastructures to society.  Increasing emphasis  has  been placed on finding advanced materials that can fulfil such requirements to reduce the environmental impact, repair and maintenance costs and extend the lifetime of concrete infrastructure.

The Brief

In this coursework, you will briefly explain the meaning of sustainability and durability and make a comprehensive analysis and an in-depth discussion on the effective ways to improve sustainability and durability of reinforced concrete infrastructure, with particular focus on the use of advanced civil engineering   materials   as   alternatives   to   conventional   reinforced   concrete   considering   its constituents. The discussion should cover (but not limited to), the main contents of this course, including sustainability and construction materials, fibre reinforced composites, advanced concrete, and advanced steel to demonstrate an understanding of these advanced civil engineering materials and material selection for engineering applications. The relevant concepts or mechanisms can be explained with the help of simple but clear diagrams.

You are expected to complete this coursework within 5 days. The submission is in the form of a report that can be typed or hand-written and should not exceed 7 sides of A4 including relevant, correctly labelled and captioned graphs and tables of data (not including reference list). If it is typed, please use margins of 2 cm in all directions, 12-point Times New Roman font, single line spacing, and  one  column,  where  possible.  The  mark  scheme  (below)  takes  into  account  the  range  of information sources  used. All sources of references  included  in the  report  should  be  correctly acknowledged in a standard citation format (preferably using Harvard style of referencing). The report  must  be  submitted  in  PDF  format  with  a  file  name  of  CEGE0057_YourFirstName  (e.g. CEGE0057_Richard)  to  Turnitin  via   Moodle   (submission  link  under  ‘Coursework  -   Individual Report’), which can be used to check for similarity and plagiarism.

The deadline for submission is 5pm on 17th January 2025 (GMT).

Marking Scheme

The following mark scheme will be adopted for the coursework. The coursework mark is worth 80% of the total course mark:

Description

80% or more

An  outstanding  submission  into which exceptional effort has gone, shows significant insight into advanced materials and material selection for sustainable and durable concrete infrastructure, either extending beyond the topics covered in lectures, or, if limited to those topics, applying them in novel ways. Sources of information   are   extensive    and   well-documented.    Presentation   is    of   a professional standard. Communication is very clear and shows imagination in using the limited space available.

70-79%	An  excellent  report  shows  good understanding  of advanced materials and material  selection  for  sustainable  and durable concrete infrastructure. The purpose, limitations and key arguments of  the   report have been clearly articulated. A varied range of information sources has been used. Presentation is generally clear and precise.
60-69%	A good report shows some understanding of material selection for sustainable and durable concrete infrastructure but misconceptions or gaps in knowledge in key  areas  are  also  apparent.  Information  sources  are  sound  but limited in scope.  Communication  merely  adequate.  Possibly  some  misunderstandings are present, or the depth of knowledge is limited.
50-59%	A  satisfactory  report that   has  been adequately   put together. Some basic understanding of advanced materials and material selection for sustainable and durable  concrete  infrastructure is shown. There is some treatment of the theoretical  concepts  and  evidence  of  background  reading, but topic is not explored  in  any  depth  and information  sources are limited. Little ability at engineering communication is shown.
40-49%	An unsatisfactory report  with  very   limited  submission deficient in   insight, evidence    of research and    evidence    of understanding. Very poorly communicated.
39% or less	A poor report. The work is superficial and poorly thought through. There is no evidence of theory or background reading. Poor use of language, grammar and absence of referencing.
