Features: This book is one of the "New Technologies in Civil Engineering Series" compiled by the Department of Civil Engineering at Tsinghua University. It discusses the role and importance of building materials in civil and construction engineering. Based on fundamental theories of materials science and practical engineering requirements, the book systematically elaborates on the technical properties, measurement indicators, and testing methods of commonly used building materials. It also provides an in-depth analysis of the relationship between the macroscopic performance of materials and their internal composition and microstructure. Additionally, the book introduces knowledge on how to select materials correctly based on the working environment of structures, design requirements, and the properties of existing materials. The book also explores the relationship between building materials and sustainable civil and construction engineering, human survival environments, Earth's resources, and energy. Building on traditional building materials, it incorporates content such as high-performance concrete, ecological concrete, underwater cast concrete, nanomaterials, and intelligent materials. This book is suitable for students majoring in civil engineering, architecture, and related fields at universities, as well as professionals in civil engineering, water conservancy, and other engineering fields for reference.
