Construction Science and Materials [Hardcover]

Construction science and materials deals with the designing, planning and construction of buildings, roads, canals, tunnels etc. It is important to select the right materials to be used in specific constructions as the strength and endurance of the built structure depends on it. Advancements in the field of technology have resulted in scientifically engineered materials that are used primarily for construction. The field of engineering concerned with construction science and materials is known as civil engineering. This book discusses the fundamentals as well as modern approaches of construction science. A number of latest researches have been included to keep the readers up-to-date with the global concepts in this area of study.Construction science and materials deals with the designing, planning and construction of buildings, roads, canals, tunnels etc. It is important to select the right materials to be used in specific constructions as the strength and endurance of the built structure depends on it.
