4.0 out of 5 stars
Good but not great.
Clearly explains basic concepts for metals, aggregate, portland cement concrete, asphalt cement concrete and wood. Very vague in the polymers section but this book was written in the 90s. Good book to get the basics and that is really all an undergrad course will be able to teach, which is what I just took.

Outdated
The book is a good reference for the overall general concept of materials. This text does not include up to date materials.

This review is from: The Science and Technology of Civil Engineering Materials (Paperback)
I ordered this book under the pretense that is was in "good" condition. However, upon opening the package I noticed the cover was bent and torn, and several pages were being held to the binding by masking tape. I would give this item a "poor" condition status. I am very displeased with the book.

Insufficient for engineering,
By Benjamin "Ben" (TX USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Science and Technology of Civil Engineering Materials (Paperback)
I strongly believe this book is not proper reference if somebody would like to learn about the behavior of steel as a civil engineering material. The authors talk about the material as if the reader is well aware of the behavior and wants to refresh his/her knowledge.
It is not useful at all! |
