Overview

Building Materials and Construction serves as a foundational pillar for students in Civil and Architectural Engineering. This book is designed to provide a comprehensive working knowledge of both conventional building materials and modern innovations utilized in residential, commercial, and industrial construction. The text covers essential construction practices, including foundation systems, masonry (stone and brick), plastering techniques, architectural design for doors and windows, roofing, flooring, and Damp Proof Courses (DPC). Furthermore, it integrates current construction techniques and specialized instrumentation, making it an invaluable resource for undergraduate students, postgraduate students, Diploma candidates, and research scholars in the civil and construction fields looking to stay abreast of industry advancements. In this edition, I have focused on incorporating detailed insights into the manufacturing, fabrication, and practical applications of a wide array of building materials. This approach aims to bridge the gap between theoretical understanding and real-world construction demands. We extend our sincere gratitude to TechScholastic Press, Bengaluru, for their dedicated support and vital role in guiding this work to publication. -Dr. Arun B R
