This book covers the basic concepts of civil and highway engineering materials, including current environmental concerns and construction trends. The authors outline the appropriate laboratory test procedures for quality control and provide a complete list of ASTM standards. Discusses the engineering performance of concrete, cements, asphalts, soil, aggregate, timber, metals, and plastics. Contains coverage of environmental concerns, emphasizing considerations regarding hazardous materials and waste disposal, contaminated soil, and remedial options. Includes a chapter on Miscellaneous Material which includes glass, concrete block, brick, and mortar, rounds out the coverage of materials most widely used by civil and highway engineers. For highway engineers, test engineers, material science engineers, and materials inspectors.

This book covers the analysis of indeterminate structures by force method, displacement method, and stiffness method: dealing with application of the force method to analysis of beam, frame and truss structures; unit load method with reference to the analysis of statically indeterminate structures;examples are discussed. Other developments of concepts are covered in subsequent chapters.

"This book presents students with the key fundamental elements of structural analysis and covers as much material as is needed for a single-semester course, allowing for a full understanding of indeterminate structural analysis methods without being overwhelming. Authored by four full professors of engineering, this class-tested approach is more practical and focused than whats found in other existing structural analysis titles, and therefore more easily digestible and accessible. It also allows students to solve indeterminate structural analysis problems by utilizing different methods, enabling them to compare the merits of each, and providing a greater understanding of the subject material. Features: Includes practical examples to illustrate the concepts presented throughout the book. Examines and compares different methods to solve indeterminate structural analysis problems Presents a focused treatment of the subject suitable as a primary text for coursework. Static Analysis of Determinate and Indeterminate Structures is suitable for Civil Engineering students taking Structural Analysis courses"--
