Civil & Environmental Engineering Books
In recent years, there has been growing worldwide interest in protecting the natural environment and extending the lifespan of existing buildings with renovation work.
Civil Engineering Materials explains why Construction materials behave the way they do. It covers the Construction materials content for undergraduate courses in civil engineering and related subjects and serves as a valuable reference for professionals working in the construction industry.
The book concentrates on demonstrating methods to obtain, analyse and use information rather than focusing on presenting large amounts of data. Beginning with basic properties of materials, it moves on to more complex areas such as the theory of concrete durability and corrosion of steel. Read More…
Construction and Building Materials also publishes detailed case studies and some incisive review articles that contribute new understandings. We are focusing on Construction materials papers and we exclude papers on structural engineering, geotechnics and unbound highway layers.
The Construction materials and technology covered include: cement, concrete reinforcement, bricks and mortars, additives, corrosion technology, ceramics, timber, steel, polymers, glass fibres, recycled materials, bamboo, rammed earth, non-conventional building materials, bituminous materials and railway material applications.

Construction Materials seeks to publish original research and practice papers of the highest quality on procurement, specification, application, development, performance and evaluation of materials used in construction and civil engineering.
Papers are particularly sought on metals, timbers, glass, ceramics, bricks, terracotta, stone, rubber, finishes, plastics, sealants, adhesives, bitumen and fabrics. Papers on innovative and recycled materials and novel applications of other materials such as concrete and Cement are also encouraged. All aspects of a material’s life are addressed including embodied energy, environmental impact, service life, refurbishment, recycling and reuse. Read More…
This expansive volume presents the essential topics related to Construction materials composition and their practical application in structures and civil installations.
The book’s diverse slate of expert authors assemble invaluable case examples and performance data on the most important groups of materials used in construction, highlighting aspects such as nomenclature, the properties, the manufacturing processes, the selection criteria, the products/applications, the life cycle and recyclability, and the normalization.
Civil Engineering Materials: Science, Processing, and Design is ideal for practicing architects; civil, construction, and structural engineers, and serves as a comprehensive reference for students of these disciplines.
