CIVIL ENGINEERING MATERIALS
Why this topic is important…?
Accommodation is one of the basic needs of human society. Sustainability is defined as an economic growth that compromises opportunities from the current generation and meets the potential for the needs of the next generation. Generally, sustainable development is divided into three communication areas: economic, environmental and social, which are angry at the three pillars of sustainable development. Sustainable construction can affect short- and long-term economic goals. Cost reductions can be thought of as the use of locally appropriate materials (low transportation costs), energy-saving for sustainable construction (low recovery demands and construction work)
1. MORTARS
Mortar is an intimate mixture of bonded material, fine aggregate, and water. When water is added to a dry mixture of binding substances and non-critical substances, the binding material develops a property that binds not only unnecessary materials but also the surrounding rocks and bricks. If the cement is bonded material, the mortar is known as cement mortar. Other mortars commonly used are lime mortar and clay mortar. The use of inactive substances is sand. In this article, first, the introduction of unnecessary material sand is introduced and then the proportional, mixing, treatment, various properties and use of mortar are explained. in the next article, various tests on mortar are presented- Sand
- Cement Mortar
- Lime Mortar
- Mud Mortar
- Special Mortar
2. CONCRETE
Plain concrete, commonly known as concrete, is an inert mixture of fine material, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate, and water. The plasticity easily molded to the desired shape and size before it is lost and hardened. Simple concrete is strong in compression but very weak in tension. Tensile property has been introduced by incorporating various materials in concrete and this effort has given rise to RCC, RBC, PSC, FRC, cellular concrete and Ferro cement. This article deals in detail on the ratio, mixing, curing, property, test, and use of simple concrete. Other improved versions of concrete are described and their special features and uses are identified.- Plain Concrete
- Reinforced Cement Concrete (R.C.C.)
- Reinforced Brick Concrete (RBC)
- Prestressed Concrete (PSC)
- Fiber-Reinforced Concrete (FRC)
- Cellular Concrete
- Ferro-Cement
3. METALS AS BUILDING MATERIALS
Many metals used for building works are widely classified as ferrous metals and non-ferrous metals. This article describes the properties and uses of ferrous metals and some important ferrous materials, such as aluminum and copper.- Ferrous Metals
- Aluminum
- Copper
4. MISCELLANEOUS BUILDING MATERIALS
Miscellaneous materials mean the interior material on structural components, structural members or fixtures, the types of miscellaneous materials being as follows.- Glass
- Plastics
- Bitumen
- Asbestos
- Paints
- Distempers
- Varnishes
- Solid and Hollow Concrete Blocks
- Roofing and Flooring Tiles
5. TRADITIONAL MATERIALS
Natural materials such as stone, wood, straw, sheep wool, fibers - hemp, cork, and clay offer traditional construction materials. But, over the past fifteen years, interest in natural and non-traditional construction materials has increased, especially in Europe and the United States. Tradition building materials used as: -
Structural Materials - Construction of loads (wood, stone, rammed earth, straw bales, clay bricks, etc.).
Insulation materials - Sheep wool, fibers - hemp, cork, etc., - Finishing material - Plastering, painting, flooring (clay, cork, etc.) The stone is one.
