520			_aThe book is organized to help readers achieve competent knowledge about construction materials. At the beginning of the book the author offers the general concepts, definition, and standards adopted worldwide for this material to be used along the book. The central part of the text covers the primary construction material required to manufacture concrete and mortars, the most relevant construction material in the last century. Expressly, concrete and mortar are treated in detail in dedicated chapters per component. In addition, the author addresses other relevant materials in construction such as ceramic materials, metals and alloys, bituminous materials, and geosynthetic materials. Finally, since the construction industry is one of the largest single wastes producing sector in the world, the last chapter outlines the main types and characteristics of construction and demolition waste (e.g. recycled aggregates).
