en Limba Engleză Paperback – 3 feb 2017

Construction Science and Materials is a core unit on all programmes offered by Pearson in the fields of construction, civil engineering and building services. It is also a core unit on City and Guilds' level 3 Construction Techbac. The unit deals with a range of topics on construction science, structural mechanics and constructional materials; this new edition of Construction Science and Materials covers these topic areas and provides detailed information in a user-friendly format.

The initial chapters of the book are devoted to some key concepts in physics, chemistry, construction technology and building services to provide underpinning knowledge for more complex topics. The topics are arranged into 17 chapters, each with written explanations supplemented by well-annotated diagrams and relevant solved examples. Students can check their learning by solving questions from the end-of-chapter exercises and reviewing answers at the end of the book and on the book's website. The book also includes extracts from British Standards, Building Regulations and construction companies' trade literature to provide information on recent developments in science, structures and building materials.

Students will find in this book all the information, explanations, exercises and assignments to empower them with the knowledge and skills to complete the relevant unit - BTEC Construction Science and Mathematics (Level 2) as well as Construction Science and Materials (Levels 3/4/5).
