Properties of Building Materials (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798531216755)

Civil Engineering presents construction materials as its base material. All buildings, works of art and structures used daily are of materials of various kinds. In this context, it is essential for civil construction professionals such as Engineers and Architects to be well versed in the properties of these materials in order to use them in the best possible way in the works they design and execute.
For each structure or building there are material application criteria. A material that may be suitable for use on a dividing wall between two apartments may not be recommended for use on a roofing. Thus, there are material application criteria for the different areas of buildings and structures, criteria that can only be known from the study of the properties of these materials.
The objective of this work is to make known the general properties of materials used in civil construction in order to elucidate students and professionals in the field about the importance of this knowledge. It is hoped that it will be a useful tool in the daily lives of these professionals in order to help them make decisions regarding the design of constructive solutions with the greatest possible efficiency and durability.
