Construction materials are the category of materials that are used for construction purposes. There are both man-made and natural construction materials. Natural construction materials include clay, rocks, sand, wood twigs, thatch, etc. Man-made construction materials include cement, bricks, tiles, metal concrete, ceramics, etc. Construction materials are divided into specific specialty trades, such as carpentry insulation, plumbing, and roofing work and many more. The two most widely used construction materials are cement and concrete. Cement bonded composites are used for making pre-cast building components. These are made of hydrated cement paste which binds fibres, wood or particles. Portland cement concrete and reinforced concrete are the two most common forms of concrete used in construction. This book contains some path-breaking studies in the field of construction materials. It is a compilation of chapters that discuss the most vital concepts and emerging trends in the field of construction materials. Researchers and students in this field will be greatly assisted by this book.
