Construction Materials by Peter Domone

Construction Materials by Peter Domone

Covers various developments of Construction Materials such as the use of glass as a structural material. This work examines the contribution that material selection makes to sustainable construction practice, considering the availability of raw materials, production, recycling and reuse, which contribute to the life cycle assessment of structures.

"Some of the civil engineering and architecture schools, however, now have less dedicated courses in materials and a significant part of the required materials knowledge is provided within other coursesA textbook such as this will hence not only be useful as a reference book for a number of these courses, but will also be helpful in providing a unified perspective to students learning about materials under these conditions."
—D. Gunaratnam, Architectural Science Review
