The document discusses various construction materials including concrete, reinforced concrete, stone and brick masonry, wood, plywood, steel, glass, ceramics, and plastics. Concrete starts as a moldable mixture that hardens through a chemical reaction. Reinforced concrete uses steel to improve its tensile strength. Different types of glass include laminated, wired, and insulated varieties.

1. Construction
Materials

2. 1. Concrete
u when first mixed it is plastic (moldable)
u hardening caused by chemical reaction
between the cement when water is added

3. 2. Reinforced Concrete
u concrete is great in compressive strength
but very poor in tensile strength
u reinforcing steel
overcomes the
weak tensile
strength

4. 3. Stone Masonry
u Stones that are cut and shaped to form
structures and designs

5. 4. Brick Masonry

6. 5. Structural Clay Tile
u used to construct roofing, walls,
and flooring

7. 6. Hardwood and Soft wood

8. 7. Plywood
u manufactured from thin layers or "plies"
of wood that are glued together

9. 8. Glue-Laminated Timber
• Used as wood beams and arches;
prefabricated at factory

10. 9. Structural Steel
u often used to create uniquely
shaped homes that would be harder to
produce with wooden counterparts

11. 10. Welded Wire Fabric
u indicated by
WWF
u consists of a
mesh steel
wires
welded
together

12. 11. Glass
u made from sand (silica) soda
(sodium oxide) and lime (calcium
oxide)

13. Laminated Glass

14. Wire Glass

15. Insulated Glass
u two or more glass window panes
separated by a space to reduce
heat transfer

16. 12. Ceramic Tile
u ceramic tile - used on floors & walls
u mosaic tile - used to make design &
patterns
u quarry tile - wear resistant
u fired-clay tile - used for floor coverings

17. 13. Plastics
u have many uses
l counter tops
l door veneer
l gutters
l pipes
