Materials of Construction

Materials of Construction By D.N. Ghose

A civil engineering textbook that describes materials of construction — their sources, characteristics, extraction, manufacture, and uses — built to meet the complete syllabus needs of undergraduate civil engineering courses. It works through where each material comes from, how it's processed and manufactured, and how it's ultimately applied on site, supported throughout with charts, tables, and graphs to make the technical data easier to absorb, alongside coverage of water and its treatment for construction use.

Topics commonly covered include:

• Stone, brick, and clay products

• Cement and lime

• Concrete and its constituents

• Timber and wood products

• Steel and other metals used in construction

• Bituminous materials

• Paints, varnishes, and finishing materials

• Water for construction use and its treatment

Key features:

• Full coverage from raw material sourcing through manufacture to on-site use

• Extensive charts, tables, and graphs supporting the text

• Built specifically to match undergraduate civil engineering syllabi

• Long-standing, compact reference from a well-established engineering publisher

• Straightforward, descriptive approach suited to foundational coursework

Perfect for:

• Civil engineering undergraduates studying materials science

• Students needing a syllabus-matched reference for construction materials courses

• Diploma-level construction and building technology students

• Anyone needing a quick reference on where common construction materials come from and how they're made
