Understand the science behind building materials and how it affects your choices in construction and design.

This book aims to make chemistry, physics, and geology approachable for anyone working with building materials. It explains the elementary principles that underlie the use, performance, and decay of stones, bricks, limes, cements, metals, timber, and paints without requiring advanced science training.

The first part introduces core ideas in plain terms, while the second part applies them to common materials. It emphasizes how to recognize composition and testing methods, and how to identify causes of failure to guide better selection and preservation. The work focuses on practical understanding, not on producing experts.

Clear explanations of chemistry, physics, and geology as they relate to materials you use.

How to assess materials through their composition, properties, and typical tests.

Guidance on choosing materials and preventing common failures in construction and maintenance.

An accessible bridge to further study for readers who want to go deeper.

Ideal for readers who want a practical, nontechnical grounding in building materials and their uses.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is for anyone with little or no prior knowledge of natural science who is interested in the chemical and physical principles that underlie the use of building materials. It is written in plain English and avoids the use of inaccessible technical terms. Avoiding generalisations, the author uses both common and scientific names for substances, aiming to enable anyone to appreciate the uses of science in this field. The author begins by explaining the principles of chemistry, physics and geology, using only such parts of these sciences as are directly applicable to materials. In the second part, these principles are applied to study of stones, brick clays, limes and cements, the metals, timber, and paints, considering their composition, characteristics, general nature of tests applied to, and causes of failure in, materials, as giving a means of discriminating upon their employment and preservation, or as an introduction to further study. The author presents simple and complex compounds, discusses heat and its effects on materials, and provides a guide to chemical signs and calculations. This science primer concludes with analysis of water and its impurities, and the nature of acids and bases. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N� de r�f. du vendeur 9781527641808_0
