      abstract = {Construction Materials is a comprehensive textbook  covering all raw materials and products related to the  construction processes, and not only those applied to  building structures. The book is organized to help readers  achieve competent knowledge about construction materials.  At the beginning of the book the author offers the general  concepts, definitions, and standards adopted worldwide for  these materials to be used along the book. The central part  of the text covers the primary construction materials  required to manufacture concrete and mortars, the most  relevant construction materials in the last century.  Expressly, concrete and mortar are treated in detail in  dedicated chapters per component. In addition, the author  addresses other relevant materials in construction such as  ceramic materials, metals and alloys, bituminous materials,  and geosynthetic materials. Finally, since the construction  industry is one of the largest single waste producing  sector in the world, the last chapter outlines the main  types and characteristics of construction and demolition  waste (e.g. recycled aggregates). The book appeals to  students but also professionals interested in construction  materials and construction and civil engineering.},
