[ hide overview ]
Materials for Civil and Construction Engineers , 3rd Edition is ideal for courses in Civil Engineering Materials, Construction Materials, and Construction Methods and Materials offered in Civil, Environmental, or Construction engineering departments.
This introduction gives students a basic understanding of the material selection process and the behavior of materials - a fundamental requirement for all civil and construction engineers performing design, construction, and maintenance. The authors cover the various materials used by civil and construction engineers in one useful reference, limiting the vast amount of information available to the introductory level, concentrating on current practices, and extracting information that is relevant to the general education of civil and construction engineers. A large number of experiments, figures, sample problems, test methods, and homework problems gives students opportunity for practice and review.

[ hide overview ]
How could nanotechnology not perk the interest of any designer, engineer or architect? Exploring the intriguing new approaches to design that nanotechnologies offer, Nanomaterials, Nanotechnologies and Design is set against the sometimes fantastic sounding potential of this technology. Nanotechnology offers product engineers, designers, architects and consumers a vastly enhanced palette of materials and properties, ranging from the profound to the superficial. It is for engineering and design students and professionals who need to understand enough about the subject to apply it with real meaning to their own work.Materials and the Environment: Eco-informed Material Choice February 2009
[ hide overview ]
As concern for the environment grows, there is a corresponding trend among colleges and universities worldwide to incorporate sustainability into engineering education. Addressing this growing trend "Materials and the Environment," by renowned materials authority Mike Ashby, is the first book devoted exclusively to the environmental aspects of materials, a core subject area for undergraduate students in several engineering disciplines, including mechanical, materials, civil, aerospace, manufacturing and design. With in-depth coverage of such topics as material consumption and its drivers, the material lifecycle, eco-informed material selection, renewable materials and sustainability, along with eco-profiles of more than 60 widely used materials, this book will appeal not only to instructors of materials science and selection courses, but to professional materials engineers and product designers as well.
* The first book devoted solely to the environmental aspects of materials and their selection, production, use and disposal, by noted materials authority Mike Ashby.* Introduces methods and tools for thinking about and designing with materials within the context of their role in products and the environmental consequences. * Contains numerous case studies showing how the methods discussed in the book can be applied to real-world situations. * Includes full-color data-sheets for 60 of the most widely used materials, featuring such environmentally relevant information as their annual production and reserves, embodied energy and process energies, carbon footprints, and recycling data. * The tools developed in the text are implemented in the CES EduPack Eco Design Edition software and new Eco Audit Tool available from Granta Design.

[ hide overview ]
Taking a visually-oriented approach, "Statics and Strength of Materials for Architecture and Building
Construction, Third Edition", presents basic structural concepts in an easily understood manner.
The authors introduce structural theory without relying on calculus. Instead using building examples and
illustrations to supplement the book and introduce mathematically based material in a non-threatening way.
This edition features many fully-worked example problems, a new supplemental CD-ROM, a section on retaining
walls and clearer connections between written and visual elements.
Extensive treatment of load tracing (paths) in an organized and heavily illustrated manner. Includes a CD containing additional problems with solutions for further practice. New section discussing the basic principles of concrete retaining walls using free-body diagrams and the equations of equilibrium. Overview from BARNES&NOBLE (barnesandnoble.com). Engineering Materials: Properties and Selection July 2004

Co-authored by Kenneth G. Budinski and Michael K. Budinski, his son, with over 50 years of combined industry experience in
the field, this practical, understandable introduction to engineering materials theory and industry-standard selection
practices provides readers with the working knowledge to (1) make an informed selection of materials for engineering
applications and (2) correctly specify materials on drawings and purchasing documents. Encompassing all significant
material systems-metals, ceramics, plastics, and composites-this text incorporates the most up-to-date information
on material usage and availability, addresses the increasingly global nature of the field, and reflects the suggestions
of numerous adopters of previous editions.Within the four major material categories, this edition includes specific coverage of international metal buying, plastic families, 'survivor' ceramics, and composite coatings. Other topics include surface engineering; tribology (friction, wear and lubrication); material properties; cemented carbides; steel making; heat treating; and corrosion-including a treatment of electrochemistry. Appropriate for all materials engineers. Overview from BARNES&NOBLE (barnesandnoble.com).
