Building Materials is a textbook designed for undergraduate civil engineering students who are offered courses on Building and Construction Materials. The book primarily covers the AICTE syllabus on Materials, Testing, and Evaluation. It provides detailed and up-to-date information on variousbuilding and construction materials, including green materials.The book discusses the usual building materials like stones, bricks, lime, cement, aggregates, mortars, concrete and special concretes, wood, ferrous materials, steel, plastics, non-ferrous materials, glass, ceramic materials, plastics, paints, etc. Wherever necessary, the substitute materials andthe greenness of the material are identified and explained.The book provides a thorough discussion of various materials using appropriate illustrations, real-life photographs, examples, and case studies for better understanding.

The second volume targets practitioners and focuses on the process of green architecture by combining concepts and technologies with best practices for each integral design component

This book comprises select papers presented at the International Conference on Construction Materials and Environment (ICCME 2020). The topics discussed revolve around the identification and utilization of novel construction materials primarily in the areas of structural engineering, geotechnical engineering, transportation engineering, and environmental engineering. The volume presents a compilation of thoroughly studied and utilized sustainable construction materials in different areas of civil engineering. Newly developed testing methodologies, physical modelling methods, numerical studies, and other latest techniques discussed in this book can prove to be useful for researchers and practitioners across the globe.
