Easy to read. Jan 06, 2009
By A. Patterson
"CivEngGirl"
This book was easy to read and follow along with. The information is mostly well laid out and the example problems are ok, could use more. Biggest downside was that the answers were not in the text.
 Decent Book Sep 30, 2011
By Olivia R. Mccracken
This textbook is very vague and not the best book I have ever used, but if you are taking an introductory course to construction materials it will suffice.
 Good book for solid knowledge without much flare Dec 15, 2009
By N. Skachkov
I used this book in class. It isn't the most modern-looking or modern-feeling book by any means. However, the information is provided in a straight forward and simple way. There isn't too much unnecessary elaboration like many other textbook authors try to do to prove their credentials to the reader. At a personal level, I personally found the book really interesting. The information presented here was different than the average engineering book. This was a more of a guideline for design and explanation for why things the way they are - not a list of equations that you blindly follow. The examples are worked out clearly and everything seems to make sense right away. The book is relatively basic (at least my understanding of what basic is) but not boring. Good for people that want to understand whats going on. Its also not too math involved. As I said before, the different sections tend to outline the basics of a topic (concrete for example) and then the author goes step by step explaining how to design a mix for a specific purpose and how every property you choose will affect the outcome. Chances are you don't have a choice in whether to buy the book or not since its for a class, but if not, for what its worth, I recommend it.
Very good for beginers Jan 12, 2009
By J. Gonzalez
I liked the subjects covered for beginers but more in depth and solutions are needed for future civil engineers.

Great book for many reasons Nov 20, 2010
By E. Kern
This book is great. It is well organized, and the authors do a great job teaching the material. It is informative, clear, and well written. The pictures and tables are all relevant and show/demonstrate what is stated in the text. The appendix includes a laboratory manual that clearly shows 30 relevant ASTM and AASHTO testing procedures.
The book is in black and white. This is a VERY GOOD THING! Pictures of concrete and cement are going to be gray anyways, but color printing requires clay on the pages that makes a book very heavy. This book is very light, in fact it is about 1/3 the weight of a similar book printed in color.
This is a 5 star book for more than one reason.
