01 Introduction To Construction Materials & Testing Flashcards
Measurement of the characteristics and behavior of materials (such as metals, concrete, ceramics, or plastic) under various condition. The data this obtain can be used in specifying the sustainability of materials for various application (e.g. buildings or aircraft construction, machinery and packaging etc.)
Material Testing
Examination of material properties with respect to design and use of end product
Material Testing
What are the Categories of Material Testing
- Mechanical Testing
- Testing for Thermal Property
- Testing for Electrical Property
- Testing for Resistance to Corrosion, Radiation, and Biological Deterioration
- Non-Destructable Testing
An item material or supply consumed or used in a construction project and incorporated in constructed buildings or structure
Construction Materials
What are the Types of Construction Materials
- Aggregates
- Steel Reinforcement
- Cement
- Concrete
- Bitumen
is a broad category of coarse-particulate to medium grained material used in construction (including sand, gravel, slags, concrete, and recycled geosythetic).
Aggregates
are the most mined materials in the world
Aggregates
are steel bars that are provided in consideration with plain cement concrete to make a reinforced concrete
Steel Reinforcement
is a finely milled mineral powder, usually grey in colour
Cement
Mixed with water, _____ serves as an adhesive (to bind sand, gravel, and hard rock) in concrete
Cement
is a composite material (composes of fine and coarse aggregates) bonded together with fluid cement (cement paste) that hardens (cures) over time
Concrete
is a black viscous mixture of hydrocarbons obtained “naturally” as a residue from petroleum distillation
Bitumen
It is used in road surfacing and roofs
