The book begins with an introductory chapter describing the basic
properties of building materials. Further chapters cover the basic
properties of building materials, air hardening cement materials,
cement, concrete, building mortar, wall and roof materials,
construction steel, wood, waterproof materials, building plastics,
heat-insulating materials, sound-absorbing materials and finishing
materials. Each chapter includes a series of questions, allowing
readers to test the knowledge they have gained. A detailed appendix
gives information on the testing of building materials.
