To make students understand about the various conventional and modern construction materialsand their properties

OBJECTIVE

At the end of this course the students should have learnt about the various materials, both

conventional and modern, that are commonly used in civil engineering construction. Further heshould be able to appreciate the criteria for choice of the appropriate materials and the various

tests for quality control in the use of these materials.
