Construction Materials

Construction materials are metals, alloys, composites and engineering plastics selected for load-bearing applications. Relevant parameters include strength, toughness, fatigue behavior, weight and manufacturability. Material selection and optimization consider loading conditions, fabrication methods and lifetime analyses as well as standards and safety requirements.
