Testing of Construction Materials

This book describes peer-reviewed international construction materials testing methods including cement, concrete, bricks, lime, paints, steel and so forth, as per Indian, American, European, German and South African standards. Modern sophisticated material testing techniques like SEM, TGA and XRD are also described.

This book provides an understanding of peer-reviewed international construction materials and their testing methods in a simplified manner at a high technical level. It focuses on specific construction materials, such as cement, concrete, bricks, lime, paints, steel and so forth, distributed in ten different chapters. Using real-time quality control as the underlying determinant, the book material exclusively follows Indian, American, European, German and South African standards. Relevant modern sophisticated material testing techniques, like scanning electron microscope (SEM), thermo gravimetric analysis (TGA) and X-Ray diffraction (XRD), are also described.
