Rezensionen

"This book is exceptional in both coverage and content."

-- Peter C. Hewlett, Magazine of Concrete Research, June 2018

"A book giving up-to-date comprehensive knowledge on construction materials which will be the first choice book for lecturers teaching construction materials to civil engineering students on UK undergraduate and postgraduate taught courses."

-- Toby Mottram, University of Warwick

"A must have text book for those teaching or studying materials science applied to civil engineering."

-- Juliana Calabria-Holley, University of Bath

"This book is very good for teaching civil and construction engineers students about material science. The text goes from fundamental principles in the first chapters to practical use of the building materials."

-- Eythor Thorhallsson, Reykjavik University

"The notion of underpinning engineering materials with 'atomistics' is well presented and is particularly vital for both understanding and novelty"

-- Adegoke Olubanwo, Coventry University

"The best and most comprehensive textbook on construction materials targeted for undergraduate students following a civil engineering or similar degree programme."

-- Hussain Al Khalid, Liverpool University
