The extensive construction of all kinds involves the use of a great number of various building materials. The construction industry makes available a great variety of building materials. The durability of engineering structures and the repair expenditures for these structures depend on the properties and quality of these materials. Some building materials are made directly at construction sites, and this necessitates a thorough knowledge of their manufacturing technologies. The textbook places emphasis on the special features associated with the manufacture of materials and the conditions that predetermine their quality. The data found in the textbook reflect the newest scientific and engineering achievements in the production technology and use of road materials. The way in which various manufacturing processes are treated will permit students to concentrate on the peculiar features that influence the construction-engineering properties of materials.
Civil engineers often have to solve problems associated with the choice of materials, and this cannot be done without a profound knowledge of the engineering properties and the possible application of materials under various service conditions. For this reason the course on road materials includes data that can be used to advantage both by students and civil engineers. Large quantities of materials used in the construction of roads, bridges, and airfields are often transported over large distances, and that is why special attention must be given to the possible use of locally available materials.
The author of the textbook aimed at treating a great number of materials featuring various construction-engineering properties on the basis of their origin. The textbook can be of use to students majoring in the construction of hydraulic engineering structures, road, airfields, bridges, and tunnels.
1. Construction-Engineering Properties of Materials
2. Natural Stone Materials
3. Inorganic (Mineral) Cementing Materials-Binders
4. Cement Concrete and Cement Mortars
5. Artificial Burned and Other Stone Materials
6. Artificial Unburned Stone and Other Materials and Products
