The document summarizes different building materials and the construction process. It describes common materials like stone, binders, concrete, pottery, metals, wood, plastic and glass. It then outlines the typical construction steps of ground preparation, laying foundations, erecting the structure, installing coverings, external coatings, paving/walls, installations, and finished works. Various materials are used at each stage, like reinforced concrete, tiles, bricks, plumbing and electrical systems.

12. 11º Summary of constructions process

14. - Compact rocks : they are blocks of rock of marble, granite, sand, etc. They are use as flagstone.

15. - Disgregated rocks : they are fragment of rocks of differents sides.

17. dughy mass and during a time, they change into a solid material.

18. - Lime : They are obtain by the heating of limestone rocks. They are use to make bricks or to paint walls.

19. - Cement : It is elaborated by the mix of limestone and cley.

20. - Plaster: Dus t mineral the mix with waer, are used to cover walls and roofs.

22. - Mass Concrete : It is obtain by the mix of cement, water, gravel and sand.It is used in walls and foundations.

23. - Celular Concrete : It is obtain by the mix of normal concrete and special chemical products.

26. - Mix and Mold . Special mix machines mix cley with water. Then, special machines give form and finally it is cut in determinated size.

27. - Firing in kiln . The cuted material pass through kilns of different temperatures.

29. - Thin Bricks : They have a very attractive appearance. They are very resistant and a very good insulator.

30. - Common Bricks : Less resistant, more coarse and rough.

32. Glazed Tile : Square or rectangular pieces compound by two layers; the inferior of cley and the superior of glaze. It is used in the tile of the walls of bathrooms and kitchen.

33. Stonware : Mix of cley, quartz and feldspar used in the elaborations of pottery pieces.

34. Porcelain: Pottery material cover by a enamel that give a vitryfied appearance.

36. - Steel : It is used in the reinforced concrete and in the truss.

37. - Aluminium : It is used it windows and doors.

38. - Copper : It is used in instalations of plumbing, gas and heating.

39. Woods : It is not very common now in construction, only in roofs, doors, floor, etc.

40. Plastics : The used of plastic materials is growing.It is used in windows, plumbing, etc.

41. Glass : It is used in windows, doors, decoration, etc.
