Summary: "This establish textbook provides an understanding of materials’ behaviour though knowledge of their chemical and physical structure. It covers the main classes of construction materials: metals, concrete, other ceramics (including bricks and masonry,) polymers, fibre composites, bituminous materials, timbre, and glass. It provides a clear and comprehensive perspective on the whole range of materials used in model construction, to form a must-have for civil and structural engineering students, and those on courses as architecture, surveying and construction. It begins with a fundamentals section followed by a section on each of the major groups of materials. In this new edition: Typical questions with answers to any numerical examples are given at the end of each section, as well as an instructors manual with further questions and answers. Coverage of sustainability is markedly increased to include the drivers to sustainable construction and eco-friendly buildings. Links are given to free reports from the concrete centre, corus, and others, as well as to materials suppliers’ websites The masonry section is entirely overhauled and extended beyond the basis of load bearing masonry, and to include the flexi-arch and hollow core bricks used in mainland Europe for infill walls."--Back cover
