Materials for civil and construction engineers / Michael S. Mamlouk, John P. Zaniewski. - Fourth edition. - Hoboken, NJ : Pearson Education, Inc., c2017. - 1 online resource, xviii, 650 pages : illustrations ; 24 cm.
Includes bibliographical references and index.
Materials engineering concepts -- Nature of materials -- Steel -- Aluminum -- Aggregates -- Portland cement, mixing water, and admixtures -- Portland cement concrete -- Masonry -- Asphalt binders and asphalt mixtures -- Wood -- Composites.
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. Resource added for the Civil Engineering Technology program 106071.
