Learning outcomes	The curricular unit of Advanced Materials Technology is an optional subject that aims to consolidate and deepen knowledge in the area of composite based cementitious materials. The following competences will be developed in this curricular unit: a) Ability on technology for mix design and evaluation of fresh and hardened properties of special composite cement-based materials. b) Ability on the field of production technology, application and monitoring "in situ" of special composite cement-based materials. c) Knowledge of the pre-manufacturing technology of special composite cement-based materials. d) Ability on design methodologies for optimization of special composite cement-based materials.
Syllabus	1) Methodologies for optimization of mix design of special mortars and concretes. 2) Technology for evaluation of fresh properties of special mortars and concretes. 3) Technology for evaluation of mechanical and physical properties of special mortars and concretes on hardened state. 4) Technology of production, transport, placing, finishing, curing and monitoring "in situ" quality of special mortars and concretes. 5) Technology of pre-manufacturing using special concretes.
