Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers 3rd Edition  (English, Paperback, Michael S. Mamlouk, John P. Zaniewski)

This introduction gives students a basic understanding of the material selection process and the behavior of materials-a fundamental requirement for all civil and construction engineers performing design, construction and maintenance. The authors cover the various materials used by civil and construction engineers in one useful reference, limiting the vast amount of information available to the introductory level, concentrating on current practices and extracting information that is relevant to the general education of civil and construction engineers. A large number of experiments, figures, sample problems, test methods and homework problems gives students opportunity for practice and review.
