CONSTRUCTION ENGINEERING AND CONSTRUCTION MATERIALS
Construction Engineering is very important part of Civil Engineering. We can’t think about a good and stable structure without good quality of construction. And the construction materials is also play an important role for any construction work. Construction engineering is a professional discipline that deals with the designing, planning, construction ...

Engineering Simulation of Market Value of Construction Materials
Material resources are one of the main elements of the construction cost estimate. The nomenclature of material resources includes a large number of items. It is impossible to objectively estimate the construction cost, capital construction, and maintenance works without carrying out monitoring of the prices of constructional resources and accounting ...

Engineering properties of scoria concrete as a construction material
The weight and cost of plain concrete are part of the setbacks in its use for construction purposes especially in low-cost housing delivery. This paper reports the experimental results of samples of concrete produced from a mix combination of cement, fine aggregate (sand) and volcanic scoria as coarse aggregate.
