Book Description

Publication Date: Aug 30 2001 | ISBN-10: 0419258604 | ISBN-13: 978-0419258605 | Edition: 3

Thoroughly revised and updated, the third edition of Construction Materials continues to provide a comprehensive coverage of the main construction materials for undergraduate students of civil engineering and construction related courses. It creates an understanding of materials and how they perform through a knowledge of their chemical and physical structure, leading to an ability to judge their behavior in service and construction. With its wealth of illustrations and reader-friendly writing style and layout this book is ideal for both the student and the practicing engineer.

Product Description

Review

Review of Previous Edition: The book is intended for undergraduates but it is equally suitable for practising engineers or material scientists...the book achieves its aim remarkably well and can be strongly recommended as compulsory reading for the increasing number of materials-orientated courses at university level. New Civil Engineer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good all round text May 17 2004

By John Straube

Format:Paperback

I teach a materials science course to Civil Engineering students and have had a hard time finding a book that covers the material science of our industry. This does so in a very complete and technically detailed way while remaining readable and affordable. As a textbook it lacks question and assignment sets, but otherwise it is great - highly recommend it.
