The document provides an overview of different building materials, their properties, and classifications. It discusses natural materials like stone, wood, and clay as well as synthetic materials like steel, concrete, glass, and plastics. The properties of building materials that are described include density, porosity, strength, durability, and resistance to factors like fire, moisture, and frost.
Gives information about various building materials, classification of buildings, types of loads, building components their functions and nominal dimensions.
Joints are easy to maintain and are less detrimental than uncontrolled or uneven cracks. Concrete expands & shrinks with variations in moisture and temp. The overall affinity is to shrink and this can cause cracking at an early age. Uneven cracks are unpleasant and difficult to maintain but usually do not affect the integrity of concrete.

STONE -As A Building Material.
Stones have been considered as one of the popular building material from the olden days due to their availability in abundance from the natural rocks. Building stones should possess enough strength and durability.
The stones which are suitable for the construction of the structures such as retaining walls, abutments, dams, barrages, roads etc are known as building stones.

Building material is any material which is used for construction purposes. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, rocks, sand, and wood, even twigs and leaves, have been used to construct buildings. Apart from naturally occurring materials, many man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic. The manufacture of building materials is an established industry in many countries and the use of these materials is typically segmented into specific specialty trades, such as carpentry, insulation, plumbing, and roofing work. They provide the make-up of habitats and structures including homes. Construction industry is the largest consumer of material resources, of both the natural ones (like stone, sand, clay, lime) and the processed and synthetic ones. Each material which is used in the construction, in one form or the other is known as construction material (engineering material). No material, existing in the universe is useless; every material has its own field of application. Stone, bricks, timber, steel, lime, cement, metals etc. are some commonly used materials by civil engineers.
Market outlook
The global market for construction materials is projected to exceed US $ 1 trillion by 2020, driven by improving world economic outlook and recovering construction activity in residential, commercial and infrastructure sector. India's construction industry will continue to expand over the forecast period (2016–2020), with investments in residential, infrastructure and energy projects continuing to drive growth. The industry's output value in real terms is expected to rise at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 5.65% over the forecast period; up from 2.95% during the review period (2011–2015). For August 2016, the construction final demand producer price index (PPI) was flat over July 2016, but is 0.7% above last year. The PPI for Inputs to construction industry goods was down -0.2% from last month and -1.7% from last year. After what will likely be 2% growth in 2016, overall construction costs are forecasted for ongoing growth in 2017 in the 2-3% range. These increases will be primarily led by gains in construction labor wages, which is forecasted for 3-4% in 2017.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-company/
Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.
www.seribangash.com
Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Architecture department Date : xx / xx / xxxx
Sarajevo
LECTURE NO.6
INTRODUCTION TO BUILDING MATERIALS
Building Construction Technology I
Professor : Prof.dr.Nerman Rustempasic
Assistant : M.Sc. Ahmed El Sayed
2. INTRODUCTION
Any material which is used in construction of residential or
commercial buildings is dubbed as building material.
The choice of building material depends on :
the size and nature of building,
its design,
intended purposes,
availability of resources
location.
Usually building materials are classified as
natural
synthetic materials
3. BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO BUILDING
MATERIALS
Rock :
Easily, one of the most solid and durable material used in
constructions,
Rock is a very dense material so it gives a lot of protection
too.
Dry-stone walls have been built for as long as humans have
put one stone on top of another.
Mostly Stone buildings can be seen in most major cities,
some civilizations built entirely with stone.
Question : name two draw-backs for stone.
4. Mud and Clay :
Mud and clay are the most commonly used materials in
residential buildings.
Buildings made primarily of mud and clay can easily endure
many years.
Using mud and clay in buildings is a very good option for
warm places,
Question : Why using mud and clay in bulidings is a very good
option for warm places ?
Soil and especially clay is good thermal mass; it is very good
at keeping temperatures at a constant level.
Homes built with earth tend to be naturally cool in the summer
heat and warm in cold weather.
5. Wood :
A natural material for building dwellings for thousands of
years,
Wood was also used to make Churches in the past.
Question : What is the main problems with wood structures ?
Wood is an aesthetically pleasing material that never goes out
of trend completely,
Wood obtained from certain plants is quite durable, however
low quality wood is open to many extremities.
These days wood is mostly used for making cabinets,
furniture or wardrobes.
6. Metals / Steel :
Metal is used as structural framework for larger buildings such
as Skyscrapers, or as an external surface covering.
Steel is a metal alloy whose major component is iron, and is
the usual choice for metal structural building materials.
It is strong, flexible, and if refined well and/or treated lasts a
long time.
Question : What is metal’s prime enemy ?
The lower density and better corrosion resistance of
aluminium alloys and tin sometimes overcome their greater
cost.
7. Glass :
Glassmaking is considered an art form as well as an industrial
process or material.
Clear windows have been used since the invention of glass to
cover small openings in a building.
Question : What makes glass different from other building materials
?
Glass is generally made from mixtures of sand and silicates,
in a very hot fire stove called a klin and is very brittle.
Very often additives are added to the mixture when making to
produce glass with shades of colors or various characteristics.
The use of glass in architectural buildings has become very
popular in the modern culture.
8. Plastic :
The term plastics covers a range of synthetic or semi-
synthetic organic condesition or polymerzation products that
can be molded or extruded into objects or films or fibers.
Plastics vary immensely in heat tolerance, hardness, and
resiliency. Combined with this adaptability,
Plastic is a light, flexible substance, used mostly for piping in
buildings.
Their name is derived from the fact that in their semi-liquid
state they are malleable, or have the property of plasticity.
9. Concrete :
Concrete is made by mixing cement, sand, gravel and water,
while the structures are made using steel bars.
The most common form of concrete is Portland cement
concrete, which consists of mineral aggregate (generally
gravel and sand), portland cement and water.
Concrete is another material known for its durability
It is more convenient to use as far as portability and molding
is concerned.
For a concrete construction of any size, as concrete has a
rather low tensile strenght, it is generally strengthened using
steel rods or bars (known as rebars).
10. FUNDAMENTAL PROPERTIES OF
BUILDING MATERIALS
Parametars of state / structural characteristics
Physical properties
Mechanical properties
11. Density :
Ratio of the mass of a substance to its volume, expressed,
for example, in units of grams per cubic centimeter or pounds
per cubic foot.
The density of a pure substance varies little from sample to
sample and is often considered a characteristic property of
the substance.
The bulk density of soil depends greatly on the mineral make
up of soil and the degree of compaction.
Bulk density = mass of soil/core volume
The bulk density of soil is inversely related to the porosity of
the same soil: the more pore space in a soil the lower the
value for bulk.
Specific density ( specific mass ) is the mass of apsulutly
dense material. ( 100% solid material ).
12. Porosity :
Porosity or void fraction is a measure of the void (i.e.,
"empty") spaces in a material, and is a fraction of the volume
of voids over the total volume.
Effective porosity (also called open porosity) :
Refers to the fraction of the total volume in which fluid flow is
effectively taking place.
Ineffective porosity (also called closed porosity) :
Refers to the fraction of the total volume in fluids or gases are
present but in which fluid flow can not effectively take place
and includes the closed pores.
13.
14. Hydro-physical properties :
Hygroscopicity : is the capacity of a product (e.g. cargo,
packaging material) to react to the moisture content of the air
by absorbing or releasing water vapor.
Water absorption : The amount of water absorbed by a
composite material when immersed in water for a stipulated
period of time.
Moisture : Water content or moisture content is the quantity of
water contained in a material, such as soil (called soil
moisture), rock, ceramics, fruit, or wood
Water permeability : The rate of water flow in gallons per day
through a cross section of 1 square foot under a unit hydraulic
gradient, at the prevailing temperature.
Shrinking and swelling : Swelling soils are soils or soft
bedrock that increase in volume as they get wet and shrink as
they dry out
15. Thermo-technical properties :
Thermal conductivity : is the property of a material's ability to
conduct heat
Question : Explain ?
Fire resistance : A fire-resistance rating typically means the
duration for which a passive fire protection system can
withstand a standard fire resistance test.
Thermal diffusivity : The thermal diffusivity is a measure of the
transient heat flow through a material.
Specific heat : The specific heat is a measure of the amount
of energy required to change the temperature of a given mass
of material.
16. Melting point : The melting point is the temperature at which a
material goes from the solid to the liquid state at one
atmosphere.
Thermal expansion coefficient : The thermal expansion
coefficient is the amount a material will change in dimension
with a change in temperature.
Thermal shock resistance : Thermal shock resistance is a
measure of how large a change in temperature a material can
withstand without damage. Thermal shock resistance is very
important to most high temperature designs.
17. Viscosity :
Viscosity is a measure of the resistance of a fluid which is
being deformed by either shear or tensile stress. In everyday
terms (and for fluids only), viscosity is "thickness" or "internal
friction". Thus, water is "thin", having a lower viscosity, while
honey is "thick", having a higher viscosity.
Viscosity describes a fluid's internal resistance to flow and
may be thought of as a measure of fluid friction.
Question : Why is viscosity important if we are talking about solid
materials ?
18. Frost resistance :
The ability of building materials in a wet condition to withstand
many cycles of freezing and thawing without disintegrating.
The basic cause of the disintegration of materials acted upon
by low temperatures is that the water filling the pores of the
material expands when it freezes.
Frost resistance depends primarily on the structure of the
material: the larger the pores that water can penetrate, the
lower frost resistance will be.
The frost resistance value is the number of cycles of freezing
and thawing the material can undergo before losing 25
percent of its initial strength or 5 percent of its weight.
Question : How to improve frost resistance ?
19. Acoustic properties :
The study of sound and sound phenomena led to a scientific
discipline called Acoustics.
Acoustic absorption is that property of any material that
changes the acoustic energy of sound waves into another
form, often heat, which it to some extent retains, as opposed
to that sound energy that material reflects or conducts.
The absorptivity of a given material is frequency-dependent
and is affected by size, shape, location and the mounting
method used. Porous insulative materials such as mineral
wool or glass wool are effective sound absorbers.
Question : What about metals ?
20. The mechanical properties of a material describe how it will
react to physical forces.
The deformation that takes place is called the STRAIN, while
the force causing the deformation is known as the STRESS.
The strain may be a change in size (length, area or volume),
while the stress may be :
forces of tension (that tend to increase length),
compression (that tend to reduce length), or,
shear (where parallel planes of a body tend to slide over each other.
21. Stress is measured in units of force per unit area of cross-
section (N.m-2), and is commonly given the symbol σ (greek
"sigma"). Since the dimensions of stress are the same as
those for pressure, stress is frequently measured in pascals.
Strain is a pure number, and is given the symbol ε (greek
"epsilon").
A material is said to be ELASTIC if, when deformed by an
applied force, it returns to its original shape when the force is
removed.
Permanent deformation may occur if the stress is too large.
However, many structural materials also present the property
of RIGIDITY, in that they will offer resistance to stress.
22. The relationship between stress and strain in elastic materials
was investigated by Robert Hooke, and led to what is known
as Hooke's law.
"For an elastic material, the strain is directly proportional to the stress.“
23. Definition :
The point up to which the stress and strain are linearly related
is called the proportional limit.
The largest stress in the stress strain curve is called the
ultimate stress.
The stress at the point of rupture is called the fracture or
rupture stress.
The region of the stress-strain curve in which the material
returns to the undeformed state when applied forces are
removed is called the elastic region.
The region in which the material deforms permanently is
called the plastic region.
The point demarcating the elastic from the plastic region is
called the yield point. The stress at yield point is called the
yield stress.
24. The permanent strain when stresses are zero is called the
plastic strain.
The off-set yield stress is a stress that would produce a
plastic strain corresponding to the specified off-set strain.
A material that can undergo large plastic deformation before
fracture is called a ductile material.
A material that exhibits little or no plastic deformation at failure
is called a brittle material.
Hardness is the resistance to indentation.
The raising of the yield point with increasing strain is called
strain hardening.
The sudden decrease in the area of cross-section after
ultimate stress is called necking.
25.
26. Strenght :
Strength has several definitions depending on the material
type and application.
Before choosing a material based on its published or
measured strength it is important to understand the manner in
which strength is defined and how it is measured.
When designing for strength, material class and mode of
loading are important considerations.
For metals the most common measure of strength is the yield
strength.
For most polymers it is more convenient to measure the
failure strength, the stress at the point where the stress strain
curve becomes obviously non-linear.
Strength, for ceramics however, is more difficult to define.
Failure in ceramics is highly dependent on the mode of
loading.
27. Elastic limit :
The elastic limit is the highest stress at which all deformation
strains are fully recoverable.
For most materials and applications this can be considered
the practical limit to the maximum stress a component can
withstand and still function as designed.
Beyond the elastic limit permanent strains are likely to deform
the material to the point where its function is impaired.
28. Proportional limit :
The proportional limit is the highest stress at which stress is
linearly proportional to strain.
This is the same as the elastic limit for most materials.
Some materials may show a slight deviation from
proportionality while still under recoverable strain. In these
cases the proportional limit is preferred as a maximum stress
level because deformation becomes less predictable above it.
29. Yield Strength :
The yield strength is the minimum stress which produces
permanent plastic deformation.
This is perhaps the most common material property reported
for structural materials because of the ease and relative
accuracy of its measurement.
The yield strength is usually defined at a specific amount of
plastic strain, or offset, which may vary by material and or
specification.
The offset is the amount that the stress-strain curve deviates
from the linear elastic line. The most common offset for
structural metals is 0.2%.
30. Ultimate Tensile Strength :
The ultimate tensile strength is an engineering value
calculated by dividing the maximum load on a material
experienced during a tensile test by the initial cross section of
the test sample.
The ultimate tensile strength helps to provide a good
indication of a material's toughness but is not by itself a useful
design limit.
Conversely this can be construed as the minimum stress that
is necessary to ensure the failure of a material.
31. True Fracture Strength :
The true fracture strength is the load at fracture divided by the
cross sectional area of the sample.
Like the ultimate tensile strength the true fracture strength can
help an engineer to predict the behavior of the material but is
not itself a practical strength limit.
32. Ductility :
Ductility is a measure of how much deformation or strain a
material can withstand before breaking.
The most common measure of ductility is the percentage of
change in length of a tensile sample after breaking.
This is generally reported as % El or percent elongation.
33. Toughness :
Toughness describes a material's resistance to fracture. It is
often expressed in terms of the amount of energy a material
can absorb before fracture.
Tough materials can absorb a considerable amount of energy
before fracture while brittle materials absorb very little.
Neither strong materials such as glass or very ductile
materials such as taffy can absorb large amounts of energy
before failure.
Toughness is not a single property but rather a combination of
strength and ductility.
Materials with high yield strength and high ductility have high
toughness.
34. Fatigue ratio :
The dimensionless fatigue ratio f is the ratio of the stress
required to cause failure after a specific number of cycles to
the yield stress of a material.
Fatigue tests are generally run through 107 or 108 cycles.
A high fatigue ratio indicates materials which are more
susceptible to crack growth during cyclic loading.
35. Loss coefficient :
The loss coefficient is another important material parameter in
cyclic loading. It is the fraction of mechanical energy lost in a
stress strain cycle.
The loss coefficient for each material is a function of the
frequency of the cycle.
A high loss coefficient can be desirable for damping vibrations
while a low loss coefficient transmits energy more efficiently.
The loss coefficient is also an important factor in resisting
fatigue failure. If the loss coefficient is too high, cyclic loading
will dissipate energy into the material leading to fatigue
failure.
