Great book for many reasons
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.

Great Practical Examples
I found and still find this text to be simple in my studies. It constantly provides and explains practical applications of the material. Although there is some theory, most of the text applies the engineering theory to the real world, helpful for infusion into the field and application in the lab.

College Materials Textbook
I bought this book for a college class called Materials in Civil Engineering. Overall, the book was a bit boring, but relatively thorough. It's hard to make this subject more intriguing.The section about mix design was not great. The content was confusing, and the examples were kind of hard to follow. I know there are always less strong sections in textbooks. However, concrete mix design is extremely important, and it is unfortunate that this is the sub-par section.

good used book
This used book is exactly identical as the one you need for you course! Although the cover page is different from what you see here, the content inside is exactly the same. The paper quality is acceptable while the price is a lot lower. The customer service is really good. I recommend it!

a lot of stuff missing like chapter numbers
SCAM !! they sold me a international version which looks different as the one on the picture. a lot of stuff missing like chapter numbers, content table does not specify sections under each chapter, some problems where different. Also, i hated the book's quality, there where stickers everywhere and sharpied the portion that says "international" as well as the according ISBN!!! Just not at all as promised
