For junior-level courses on Civil Engineering Materials, Construction Materials, Materials of Construction, and Materials of Architecture in departments of Civil Engineering, Construction Engineering, Architecture, Engineering Technology, and Agricultural Engineering.
This book deals with properties, applications and analysis of important materials of construction/civil engineering. It offers full coverage of how materials are made or obtained, their physical properties, their mechanical properties, how they are used in construction, how they are tested in the lab, and their strength characteristics—information that is essential for material selection and elementary design.
