Features: This book is intended for students majoring in civil engineering, building structural engineering, underground construction engineering, road and bridge engineering, water conservancy and hydropower engineering, and architecture. It is compiled based on the teaching syllabus of "Civil Engineering Materials" for civil engineering in higher education institutions. The book incorporates advanced technologies of civil engineering materials both indoors and outdoors, and is written in consideration of the relevant civil engineering materials and their applications in China. It emphasizes fundamental theories, strives to combine theoretical knowledge with practical application, and integrates teaching content with experimental content. The book covers the following topics: basic properties of civil engineering materials, gypsum, lime, and silicate, various types of cement, concrete, mortar, masonry materials, masonry blocks, building stones, roofing materials, building steel, wood, synthetic polymer materials, bituminous materials, and functional building materials (including waterproofing materials, thermal insulation and sound-absorbing materials, decorative materials, etc.), as well as civil engineering material experiments. The content is designed to be clear in concept, easy to understand, and to strengthen the "three basics"—fundamental theories, basic knowledge, and basic skills.
