KEY BENEFIT
Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers
helps readers understand and select the materials involved in supporting the infrastructure needs of society--from buildings, to water and treatment distribution systems, to dams, highways, and airport pavements. By gaining a deep understanding of material behavior and the material selection process, readers can begin to understand how to create and maintain civil and construction engineering systems crucial to society.The primary focus of the updates presented in this fourth edition was on the sustainability of materials used in civil and construction engineering. The information on sustainability was updated and expanded to include the most recent information. In addition, sections were added describing the sustainability considerations of each material. The problem set for each chapter was updated and increased to provide some fresh exercises. References were updated and increased in all chapters to provide students with additional reading on current issues related to different materials.KEY TOPICS Materials Engineering Concepts: Economic Factors; Mechanical Properties; Nonmechanical Properties; Production and Construction; Aesthetic Characteristics; Sustainable Design; Material Variability; Laboratory Measuring Devices; Nature of Materials: Basic Materials Concepts; Metallic Materials; Inorganic Solids; Organic Solids; Steel; Steel Production; Iron--Carbon Phase Diagram; Heat Treatment of Steel; Steel Alloys; Structural Steel; Cold-Formed Steel; Fastening Products; Reinforcing Steel; Mechanical Testing of Steel; Welding; Steel Corrosion; Steel Sustainability; Aluminum; Aluminum Production; Aluminum Metallurgy; Aluminum Testing and Properties; Welding and Fastening; Corrosion; Aluminum Sustainability; Aggregates; Aggregate Sources; Aggregate Sources; Geological Classification; Evaluation of Aggregate Sources; Aggregate Uses; Aggregate Properties; Handling Aggregates; Aggregates Sustainability; Portland Cement, Mixing Water, and Admixtures; Portland Cement Production; Chemical Composition of Portland Cement; Fineness of Portland Cement; Specific Gravity of Portland Cement; Hydration of Portland Cement; Voids in Hydrated Cement; Properties of Hydrated Cement; Water--Cement Ratio; Types of Portland Cement; Admixtures for Concrete; Supplementary Cementitious Materials; Cement Sustainability; Portland Cement Concrete; Proportioning of Concrete Mixes; Mixing, Placing, and Handling Fresh Concrete; Curing Concrete; Properties of Hardened Concrete; Testing of Hardened Concrete; Alternatives to Conventional Concrete; Masonry; Masonry Units Mortar; Grout; Plaster; Asphalt Binders and Asphalt Mixtures; Types of Asphalt Cement Products; Uses of Asphalt; Temperature Susceptibility of Asphalt; Chemical Properties of Asphalt; Superpave and Performance Grade Binders; Characterization of Asphalt Cement; Classification of Asphalt; Asphalt Concrete; Asphalt Concrete Mix Design; Characterization of Asphalt Concrete; Hot-Mix Asphalt Concrete Production and Construction; Recycling of Asphalt Concrete; Additives; - Fillers; Warm Mix; Asphalt Sustainability; Wood; Structure of Wood; Chemical Composition; Moisture Content; Wood Production; Lumber Grades; Defects in Lumber; Physical Properties; Mechanical Properties; Testing to Determine Mechanical Properties; Design Considerations; Organisms that Degrade Wood; Wood Preservation; Engineered Wood Products; Wood Sustainability; Composites; Microscopic Composites; Macroscopic Composites; Properties of Composites; Composites Sustainability MARKET For anyone interested in Civil Engineering Materials, Construction Materials, and Construction Methods & Materials.
