Construction Materials Flashcards
most commonly used material during
the earlier days though it was not as
strong as the concrete constructions.
However, it helped to keep houses
cool during summers.
Clay and Mud
used to make walls, pavements, and
other elements in masonry
construction. (blank) can be joined
together using mortar. adhesives or
by interlocking them.
Brick
another most frequently used
material where down the ages, (blank)
has been used by people to build
homes, furniture like tables, desks,
chairs, among others.
Wood
a type of wood that has been
processed into beams and planks, a
stage in the process of wood
production. (blank) is mainly used
for structural purposes but has many
other uses as well.
lumbers
is a wood veneer bonded together to
produce a flat sheet. An extremely
versatile product, plywood is used for
a wide range of structural, interiors
and exterior applications - from
formwork through to internal
paneling.
Plywood
is among the commonly used
building materials where it has the
ability to be strong and last for a last
time when it was used for making
huge mansions and offices.
Metal
a small object made of metal which
is used as a fastener. Generally,
nails have a sharp point on one end
and a flattened head on the other.
Nail
a type of fastener that is used to
fasten materials by digging in and
wedging into a material when turned
using a screwdriver.
screw
Its common use is to secure rebar
(steel reinforcing bar) together prior
to the placement of concrete.
tirewire
are steel
sheets which are basically coated
with zinc and include a range of hot
dip galvanized and electro-
galvanized steel sheets are used in
fabricating door and wall panels due
to its flat surface.(blank) have
protective coating that make it an
ideal material for roofing.
GI sheets/Galvanized Iron
for reinforcing concrete
having spiral or transverse ridges or
rubs at short intervals on each face
to provide a bond with the concrete
(construction of steel structuring).
steel bars
another material used for
construction purposes where it is a
combination of sand, cement, water
and gravel. Most of the construction
is done in (blank) today. It is long
lasting and strong compared to mud
and wood houses.
concrete
It is a granular material composed of
finely divided rock and mineral particles. The (blank) binds everything
together and makes an artificial rock.
The sand also enhances concrete's
most favorable properties such as
thermal expansion, compression
strength, and tensile strength.
sand bobo
is a loose aggregation of rock
fragments. It is classified by particle
size range and includes size. Adding
a layer of crushed stone will add
proper drainage, as well as create a
barrier between your slab and the
ground.
Gravel
It is a binder, a substance used for
construction that sets, hardens, and
adhesives to other materials to bond
them together.
