Fundamentals of Civil Engineering Materials
Civil engineering materials are the general terms for all types of materials used in civil engineering. The civil engineering materials for transportation infrastructure mainly include aggregates, inorganic and organic binders, mixtures, and steel, which are used highways, railways, bridges, tunnels, airports, etc. The mechanical and non-mechanical properties are fundamental for the materials and should meet the structural and functional requirements of the transportation infrastructure. This chapter introduces the fundamental properties of civil engineering materials. It starts by introducing the background and classifications. It then presents the mechanical properties of civil engineering materials, including different types of deformation, concept of stress and strain, strength, elasticity, plasticity, toughness, brittleness, stiffness, ductility, hardness, viscosity, and viscoelasticity. Then, it introduces the non-mechanical properties, including density, thermal properties, surface properties, water-related properties, durability and workability.
