• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

Civil Engineering Materials: From Theory to Practice presents the state-of-the-art in civil engineering materials, including the fundamental theory of materials needed for civil engineering projects and unique insights from decades of large-scale construction in China. The title includes the latest advances in new materials and techniques for civil engineering, showing the relationship between composition, structure and properties, and covering ultra-high-performance concrete and self-compacting concrete developed in China. This book provides comprehensive coverage of the most commonly used, most advanced materials for use in civil engineering.

This volume consists of eight chapters covering the fundamentals of materials, inorganic cementing materials, Portland cement concrete, bricks, blocks and building mortar, metal, wood, asphalt and polymers.

• Describes the most commonly used civil engineering materials and updates on advanced materials
• Presents advanced materials and their applications in civil engineering
• Looks at engineering problems pragmatically from both a materials and civil engineering perspective
• Gives knowledge and guidance rooted in decades of experience in Chinese civil engineering projects
• Contextualises knowledge of civil engineering materials in infrastructure construction, including high-speed rail
