Features: This book is one of the "Planned Textbooks for Applied Undergraduate Education in Higher Education Institutions," and it is compiled based on the talent cultivation objectives, specifications, models, and the corresponding knowledge, skills, abilities, and quality structures required for civil engineering programs (road, bridge, and tunnel directions) in applied undergraduate education. The content of the textbook reflects the newly promulgated technical standards and specifications by the Ministry of Transport. The entire book is divided into 13 chapters, providing detailed introductions to building materials such as aggregate materials, silicate cement, blended cement, cement concrete and mortar, and asphalt materials. This book is written in accordance with the teaching requirements of applied undergraduate levels in civil engineering programs, road, bridge, and river-crossing engineering programs, and their related disciplines, comprehensively covering the relevant knowledge of road construction materials. The book is generally divided into two parts: the first part explains the basic knowledge of common highway construction materials such as aggregate materials, lime and cement, cement concrete and mortar, asphalt materials, asphalt mixtures, polymer synthetic materials, and construction steel. The second part lists the conventional testing methods for these building materials based on current standards and specifications. This book is a planned textbook for applied undergraduate education in higher education institutions and is suitable for students in applied undergraduate colleges, continuing education colleges, and vocational and technical colleges seeking upward mobility.
