Fundamental Knowledge Of Construction Materials

Resume: This book analyses concrete, reinforced concrete, concrete admixtures, steel, fiber reinforced polymer (FRP), and Cement materials. It develops with detail in this book, each material characteristic, their role, and most importantly their resistant in terms of stress and strain under solicitation loads of compression, traction and flexion. The study includes also the analysis of concrete composite materials and detailed method of experimental test procedures. The knowledge could help civil engineering activists to understand each of the materials properties and to choose the right material needed to meet the design requirements. This book can be used by students in research environment, in laboratory, by engineers at construction site or by professors as teaching instrument.
