Features: This book is a unified teaching material for vocational and technical colleges in water conservancy and hydropower, compiled according to the teaching syllabus for the course "Building Materials" formulated by the National Water Conservancy and Hydropower Vocational and Technical Education Research Association. The book primarily introduces relevant knowledge about the composition, technical properties, quality testing, and applications of commonly used materials in civil engineering. The book is divided into two parts: the first part is the theoretical section, which covers basic properties of building materials, inorganic cementitious materials, cement concrete, mortar, masonry blocks, building steel, geosynthetics, asphalt and bituminous waterproofing materials, wood, thermal insulation, sound absorption, and decorative materials. The second part is the material testing section, which focuses on laboratory management, the operation of testing machines, and the testing methods for the technical properties of common materials. To help students consolidate their knowledge and improve their analytical and problem-solving skills, the book is accompanied by a separate volume titled "Building Materials Exercise Book." This book is designed to meet the development of national higher vocational and technical education, emphasizing the application of building materials and testing methods. It can serve as teaching material for majors such as water conservancy and hydropower engineering construction, farmland water conservancy engineering, water conservancy construction, industrial and civil construction, and water supply and drainage engineering in higher vocational colleges and technical colleges. It is also suitable for reference by teachers, students, and engineering technicians in other civil engineering-related majors and secondary vocational schools.
