Features: This book serves as a textbook for the undergraduate program in civil engineering, and can also be used as a reference for construction, design, research, and management personnel in the field of civil engineering. Targeted at graduates of civil engineering associate degree programs, the book briefly reviews the basic theoretical knowledge of common structural materials such as general-purpose cement, ordinary concrete, and building steel. It systematically introduces new structural materials (lightweight aggregate concrete, masonry blocks, autoclaved sand-lime bricks, composite walls, etc.), ecological building materials (high-performance concrete, recycled aggregate concrete, aerated concrete, ecological fired products), chemical building materials, and decorative building materials, covering their composition, production processes, technical properties, and application knowledge in construction projects. For self-study convenience, learning objectives are listed at the beginning of each chapter, and a sufficient number of review questions are provided at the end of each chapter.
