Hallmark Features:  
Basic material coverage.
  • Considers some of the most commonly used materials in construction—aggregates, asphalt and asphalt concrete, Portland cement and Portland cement concrete, masonry, ferrous metals, and wood.
  • Gives students a strong foundation in basic construction materials—how they are selected and tested, their properties and uses, methods of extraction and processing, auxiliary equipment, and more.
Real-life testing procedures.
  • Gives students hands-on experience with testing procedures used on a daily basis on today's construction sites.
Review questions.
  • Concludes each chapter with many review questions, metric problems, and a reiteration of usable industry reference standards.
  • Provides students with immediate reinforcement and support of the concepts and applications they have just learned.
Useful appendix.
  • Includes valuable metric information.
  • Prepares students for an upcoming conversion in the construction industry to metrication.
