The construction of buildings and structures relies on having a thorough understanding of building materials. Without this knowledge it would not be possible to build safe, efficient and long-lasting buildings, structures and dwellings. Building materials in civil engineering provides an overview of the complete range of building materials available to civil engineers and all those involved in the building and construction industries.The book begins with an introductory chapter describing the basic properties of building materials. Further chapters cover the basic properties of building materials, air hardening cement materials, cement, concrete, building mortar, wall and roof materials, construction steel, wood, waterproof materials, building plastics, heat-insulating materials and sound-absorbing materials and finishing materials. Each chapter includes a series of questions, allowing readers to test the knowledge they have gained. A detailed appendix gives information on the testing of building materials.With its distinguished editor and eminent editorial committee, Building materials in civil engineering is a standard introductory reference book on the complete range of building materials. It is aimed at students of civil engineering, construction engineering and allied courses including water supply and drainage engineering. It also serves as a source of essential background information for engineers and professionals in the civil engineering and construction sector. - Provides an overview of the complete range of building materials available to civil engineers and all those involved in the building and construction industries - Explores the basic properties of building materials featuring air hardening cement materials, wall and roof materials and sound-absorbing materials - Each chapter includes a series of questions, allowing readers to test the knowledge they have gained

Civil engineering is an interdisciplinary field concerned with the planning, construction and management of built environment. Construction planning and management refers to the process of designing and constructing any building, roads, bridges, etc. Its main purpose is to control and check the quality and cost of the project. The different types of construction that fall under this subject are institutional, agricultural, environmental, residential, heavy civil, industrial, etc. This text picks up individual branches and explains their need and contribution in the context of the growth of this field. The topics covered herein deal with the core aspects of the area. This textbook will serve as a reference to a broad spectrum of readers.

Proven construction administration techniques for the civil engineer—from pre-construction to closeout of land development projects The complexity of modern land development requires the civil engineer to play an integral role in working with both the owner and contractor to meet schedule and budget requirements. The engineer’s role is emphasized with the prevalence of design-build contracts and necessitated by current environmental regulations. Construction Practices for Land Development: A Field Guide for Civil Engineers builds on the design topics included in Land Development Handbook as a project progresses from design into the construction phase. In addition to traditional responsibilities such as RFI responses and shop drawing review, the civil engineer is responsible for evolving the design throughout permitting and construction to address site conditions, operations, and regulatory requirements. This hands-on civil engineering guide offers explanations of:•Project delivery methods•Pre-construction administration•Construction cost estimates•Construction stakeout surveys•Construction administration•Advanced construction roles•Construction techniques•Construction closeout•Construction equipment
