Features: This book consists of 10 chapters, primarily introducing the technical requirements, testing methods, and result evaluation of commonly used engineering materials and products such as cement, mortar, concrete, steel, wood, brick, masonry units, waterproofing materials, and decorative materials. It also includes content on the setup of material testing laboratories and the inspection of structural members. In this revised and reprinted edition, outdated and infrequently performed test items from the original book have been removed. The book has been updated to incorporate the newly issued "Construction Acceptance Specifications" and material standards promulgated around the year 2000 as much as possible, listing their standard names and designations to facilitate readers' confident use and easy reference.
