3. float glass
Consist of sodium silicate and calcium silicate
Causes glare ,clear and flat
2mm to 20mm
Used in shop fronts ,windows,public places etc.
ARCHITECTURAL GLASS
4. •Shatterproof glass
Shatterproof glass is laminated glass; two or more sheets of glass bound together
with an invisible interlayer of polyvinyl or resin, though other compounds are
sometimes used. If broken, instead of breaking into sharp, jagged pieces, the glass cracks
like a spider web, but doesn't actually break through.
5. LAMINATED GLASS
• Laminated glass is used for architecture, glazing, automobile safety, photovoltaic,
UV protection, and artistic expression. The most common use of laminated glass is
skylight glazing and automobile windshields.
6. TOUGHENED GLASS
• Tempered or toughened glass is a type of safety glass processed by controlled
thermal or chemical treatments to increase its strength compared with normal
glass. Tempering puts the outer surfaces into compression and the interior into tension.
7. • tinted glass helps to regulate a building's temperature as it is designed to absorb
energy from the visible light spectrum. It has the capability to reduce glare, and offer
unobstructed views when looking from the inside out.
• Also provides beauty to the structure
• Basically color is added to the glass
TINTED GLASS
8. SELF HEALING CONCRETE
• Futurestic construction material
• As cracks form in the concrete, these capsules rupture and release the sodium silicate.
The healing agent reacts with the calcium hydroxide within the concrete, forming a
calcium-silica-hydrate gel that repairs the crack and hardens in about a week.
9. PLASTIC
• Plastics are strong yet lightweight, and so they are easy to transport. They are
durable, knock-and scratch resistant with excellent weatherability. ... The plastics are low
conductors of heat and thus are used as insulation materials in green building concepts.
The plastics products can achieve tight seals
• They are cheap and resistant to rot and corrosion
10. PLASTICS
Thermo plastic
• Soft when heated,hard when cooled
• Can be shaped and reshaped
• Can be recycled efficiently
Thermo setting plastic
• Permenantly setted
• Strong,durable,and hard

13. CROSS LAMINATED TIMBER
• Also known as plywood
• is a wood panel product made from gluing together layers of solid-sawn lumber, i.e.,
lumber cut from a single log
• Each layer of boards is usually oriented perpendicular to adjacent layers and glued on
the wide faces of each board
14. CARBON STRAND RODS
• Carbon fibers have several advantages including high stiffness, high tensile strength,
high strength to weight ratio, high chemical resistance, high temperature tolerance and
low thermal expansion.
• Carbon fiber is five-times stronger than steel and twice as stiff. Though carbon fiber
is stronger and stiffer than steel, it is lighter than steel; making it the ideal manufacturing
material for many parts
• potential to replace steel and is popularly used in specialized, high-performance
products like aircrafts, racecars and sporting equipment
• Used to protect buildings from earth quakes
