Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers, 3/e is ideal for
courses in Civil Engineering Materials, Construction Materials, and
Construction Methods and Materials offered in Civil, Environmental, or
Construction engineering departments. This introduction
gives students a basic understanding of the material selection process
and the behavior of materials — a fundamental requirement for all civil
and construction engineers performing design, construction, and
maintenance. The authors cover the various materials used by civil and
construction engineers in one useful reference, limiting the vast amount
of information available to the introductory level, concentrating on
current practices, and extracting information that is relevant to the
general education of civil and construction engineers. A large number of
experiments, figures, sample problems, test methods, and homework
problems gives students opportunity for practice and review.
