High performance construction materials:
Science and applications
High performance construction materials will describe advanced materials that serve various functions in particular industries such as automobile, manufacturing, and medicine.
The arrangement by application is intended to complement conventional studies of advanced materials, which tend to be arranged by arcana of the underlying science.
This first volume of High performance construction materials considers construction, and the contributors are in structural and civil engineering as well as materials science and engineering.
Their topics include steel material and structures for earthquake resistant buildings, enhancing the performance of masonry structures, coatings and sealers, and smart materials and structures.
High performance construction materials could serve as an auxiliary textbook in a graduate or senior undergraduate course in construction materials. Annotation ©2008 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
This is the inaugural volume of the book series “Engineering Materials for Technological Needs”.
The technological needs relevant to this series include those that are related to the electronic, optical, magnetic, thermal, electrochemical, energy, environmental, structural, construction, aerospace, automobile, security, manufacturing and medical industries.
The books in this series differ from other books in their emphasis on materials for technological needs. Existing books in the materials area largely focus on the fundamental science of particular classes of materials.
