Detalhes do curso
Programa de Estudos
Week 1: Research context on sustainable cementitious materials
Set up the context of sustainability in the research about cementitious materials Week 2: Hydration of cement
Introduction to cement chemistry and hydration mechanism Week 3: SEM -EDX
How to use SEM-EDX to characterize cement. Learn the best practices and LMC tips. Week 4: Cement and kinetics
Go deeper in cement hydration and kinetics of the reaction. Learn how to use isocalorimetry to follow the reaction: best practices and LMC tips. Week 5: XRD 1
Learn the basics on XRD and how to prepare samples for XRD Week 6: XRD 2
Apply XRD to cementitious materials and go deeper on analyzing the XRD results.
Pré-requisito
This course will go into the details of the mechanisms of cement hydration. The most useful techniques for the characterization of cementitious materials will also be quite deeply explained.
In order to assimilate all this information, it is recommended for the attendees to have a solid background in chemistry, physics and crystallography, or a bachelor in Materials Science.

A École polytechnique fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) é uma universidade de investigação em Lausanne, na Suíça, especializada em ciências físicas e engenharia.
A EPFL é um dos dois Institutos Federais Suíços de Tecnologia. Foi fundada pelo governo federal suíço com a seguinte missão
formar engenheiros e cientistas ao mais alto nível internacional
ser um centro nacional de excelência em ciência e tecnologia
constituir um centro de interação entre a comunidade científica e a indústria.
A EPFL é considerada uma das universidades mais prestigiadas do mundo no domínio da engenharia e da ciência. Está classificada em 17º lugar geral e 10º em engenharia no QS World University Rankings 2015; 34º lugar geral e 12º em engenharia no Times Higher Education World University Rankings 2015.
Plataforma
EdX est une plateforme d'apprentissage en ligne (dite FLOT ou MOOC). Elle héberge et met gratuitement à disposition des cours en ligne de niveau universitaire à travers le monde entier. Elle mène également des recherches sur l'apprentissage en ligne et la façon dont les utilisateurs utilisent celle-ci. Elle est à but non lucratif et la plateforme utilise un logiciel open source.
EdX a été fondée par le Massachusetts Institute of Technology et par l'université Harvard en mai 2012. En 2014, environ 50 écoles, associations et organisations internationales offrent ou projettent d'offrir des cours sur EdX. En juillet 2014, elle avait plus de 2,5 millions d'utilisateurs suivant plus de 200 cours en ligne.
Les deux universités américaines qui financent la plateforme ont investi 60 millions USD dans son développement. La plateforme France Université Numérique utilise la technologie openedX, supportée par Google.
