Characterisation Techniques for Civil Engineers

The primary aim of the proposed book is to provides understanding of the sophisticated modern characterisation techniques in domain of civil engineering. It systematically covers physical, chemical, mineralogical and microstructural characterisation imperative to evaluate the construction materials and their performance.

The primary aim of this book is to provide an understanding of the sophisticated, modern characterisation techniques in the domain of civil engineering. It systematically covers physical, chemical, mineralogical and microstructural characterisation, which is imperative to evaluate the construction materials and their performance. It describes tools such as rheometers, thermogravimetric analysers, scanning electron microscopes, X-ray diffractometers and other miscellaneous methods. In each chapter, a detailed scientific background, instrumentation details, working principles, and applications of a specific technique are provided.

Features:

Describes rheological and microstructural characterisation testing
Discusses sophisticated characterisation techniques for construction materials
Explains the detailed procedure of sample preparation and testing
Provides detailed descriptions of different parts of the instruments and their purposes
Includes questions and answers at the end of each chapter

This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in civil engineering.
