This course comprises two fundamental components; basic understanding of static behaviour and strength characteristic of eco-materials and -products. It includes analysis of the mechanic of eco-materials and -products, in relation to their reactions to forces, stresses, and deformations in the structure. The axially loaded members, shear and bending moments, moment of inertia, and mechanical strength properties of eco-materials will be emphasized. This course delivers the concept and applications of statics and strength of eco-materials in construction, building and any static conditions. A clear understanding of the engineering mechanics and design principles will be covered for the specific static applications such as structure and construction made from eco-materials, which highlights the relationship between forces and materials deformation. This course provides the foundation for advanced engineering design courses.
