The "Textbook of Building Construction and Construction Materials" is an all-encompassing textbook that is developed to provide students, architects, engineers, and construction professionals with a full grasp of the fundamentals, methods, and materials that are used in building construction. This book provides comprehensive coverage of building construction-related subjects, spanning from fundamental principles to sophisticated construction methodologies. In this book, structural systems, building codes, and regulations are discussed as fundamentals of building construction. Afterwards, it looks into a variety of building materials, including concrete, steel, wood, brick, and polymers, and investigates their features, characteristics, and uses in the construction industry. To enhance the reader's ability to comprehend the content or approach being covered, each chapter is organized in such a way as to offer a comprehensive explanation of the subject matter or technique. The increasing significance attributed to green building initiatives in the contemporary construction sector is reflected in the heightened focus on environmentally sustainable and ecologically sound building practices. In order to explain fundamental principles and show their significance in building projects of varied dimensions, the reader will discover throughout the book a variety of practical examples, and applied examples from the real world. The "Textbook of Building Construction and Construction Materials" is a useful resource for anybody who is engaged in the planning, design, and execution of building projects. It can be used as a textbook in academics or as a reference guide for professionals working in the area for a variety of purposes.

Thoroughly revised and updated, the third edition of this popular textbook continues to provide a comprehensive coverage of the main construction materials for undergraduate students of civil engineering and construction related courses. It creates an understanding of materials and how they perform through a knowledge of their chemical and physical structure, leading to an ability to judge their behaviour in service and construction. Materials covered include; metals and alloys, concrete, bituminous materials, brickwork and blockwork, polymers and fibre composites. Each material is discussed in terms of: structure; strength and failure; durability; deformation; practice and processing. The sections on concrete, polymers and fibre composites have been significantly revised. Descriptions of important properties are related back to the structure and forward to basic practical considerations. With its wealth of illustrations and reader-friendly style and layout Construction Materials.

Salient Features of the Book: Comprehensive and Cohesive guide for quick assimilation of principles, concepts with their application in the field of construction management. Clear and cohesive study of various definitions related to construction management, Construction planning and Project Planning, Organizational charts and quality control of projects, Construction contracts and contract systems, Different stages of preparation of project, Network Planning, Essentials of Construction Management and Valuation, Specifications, Technical Report Writing, Safety in construction and salient features of safety program.

The Science of Construction Materials is a study and work book for civil engineering students. It includes a large number of thoroughly prepared calculation examples. The book is also suitable for self-study for the researcher and practicing civil engineer.

The book is written in simples language and self explanatory, reflects the image of the author's long experience in field and teaching as well. The new edition of the book is a compoite unit, complete in itself. The presentation of the matter is simple and excellent.

Stromeyer's book - first published in 1893 - is still a valuable source for people interested in the manufacture and management of marine boilers. The author shows how boilers must be designed for their work on ships and how any defects which may show themselves are re-moved. His descriptions are complemented by many drawings and practical examples.
