Essentials of Civil Engineering Materials provides students with a
foundational guide to the types of materials used in civil
engineering, as well as how these materials behave under the
conditions for which they were designed and a basic understanding
of the science of the materials. This critical knowledge prepares
students to carefully consider and confidently select the best
materials for the design, construction, and maintenance of future
projects. The text begins by introducing the basic requirements of
engineering materials, material properties and standards,
experimental design, economic factors, and the issue of
sustainability. Additional chapters explore the mechanical
principles of materials, composite models and viscoelasticity, and
material chemistry. Students read about various types of materials,
including metals, steel, aggregates and cementitious materials, and
wood. The book concludes with a chapter dedicated to the topic of
sustainability. Each chapter includes closing remarks to summarize
the key concepts of the chapter and problems to help students
retain important learnings. Essentials of Civil Engineering
Materials is an ideal resource for introductory courses in civil
engineering.
