Om bidragsyterne

Dr. Gnanendran finished his Ph.D. at University of Western Ontario, Canada and taught at University of New Brunswick for three years before joining University of New South Wales at Canberra, Australia. He is an Associate Editor for the Canadian Geotechnical Journal and serves on the editorial board of Geotextiles and Geomembranes. His research interests include geosynthetics and pavements, where he has supervised 10 Ph.D. students to completion. Prior to his academic career, Dr. Gnanendran worked for several years in multinational consulting companies in Nigeria, Canada, and Sri Lanka. Dr. Tuladhar received his Ph.D. from Saitama University, Japan, and worked at University of Canterbury, New Zealand, before joining James Cook University, where he is the Associate Dean for Teaching and Learning at the College of Science, Technology and Engineering. His research interests include innovate construction materials, durability of concrete, sustainability and life cycle assessment. Dr. Mathan completed his Ph.D. at Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay, and worked at Monash University for three years before joining James Cook University, Australia. His research interests include corrosion and biomaterials where he has completed ground breaking research during the past 10 years. Dr. Sivakugan received his Bachelor’s degree in Civil Engineering from University of Peradeniya, Sri Lanka, with First Class Honors. He earned his MSCE and Ph.D. from Purdue University, West Lafayette, U.S.A. Dr. Sivakugan’s writings include eight books, 140 refereed international journal papers, 100 refereed international conference papers, and more than 100 consulting reports. As a registered professional engineer of Queensland and a chartered professional engineer, Dr. Sivakugan does substantial consulting work for the geotechnical and mining industry in Australia and overseas, including the World Bank. He is a Fellow of the American Society of Civil Engineers and Engineers Australia. He has supervised 14 Ph.D. students to completion at James Cook University, Queensland, Australia, where he was the Head of Civil Engineering from 2003 to 2014. He is an Associate Editor for three international journals and serves in the editorial boards of the Canadian Geotechnical Journal and the Indian Geotechnical Journal.

CIVIL ENGINEERING MATERIALS prepares you for today’s engineering challenges, providing a broad overview of the materials you will use in your studies and career. You are not only introduced to traditional materials, such as concrete, steel, timber, and soils, but you also explore important non-traditional materials, such as synthetics and industrial-by products. The authors use a wealth of practical examples and straight-forward explanations to ensure you gain a full understanding of the characteristics and behavior of various materials, how they interact, and how to best utilize and combine traditional and non-traditional materials. While emphasizing the effective use of civil engineering materials, the authors carefully consider sustainability to give you a broader context of how materials are current used in contemporary applications.
