Synopsis:

Now in its second edition, this presents comprehensive coverage of the engineering properties and uses of the materials commonly used in building construction in India. Profusely illustrated with tables and diagrams, the book examines the basics of building materials and their specifications. As well as covering traditional building materials, the text also provides thorough coverage of modern materials. The references to IS codes and standards make this text suitable for further study and field use. It includes a new section on durability of concrete; a modified section regarding the revision of IS 10262 (1982) code on concrete mix design to IS 10262 (2009); a new section on the classification of exposure conditions; and a new section relating to large advances made in concrete construction and repair chemicals. Chapter 20 has been completely updated, with a particular emphasis on the extensive use of aluminium in building construction. The text is primarily intended for the students pursuing an undergraduate degree and diploma courses in civil engineering and architecture. It will also be useful for teachers and practising engineers.
