Any materials used for construction
Building Materials
Types of Building materials
Raw, Manmade
This primarily involves testing structural materials used to building new projects from the ground up.
CMT
a term used when adding on a finished construction
retrofitting
this is essential for keeping the structure in line with applicable legal requirements, including occupational safety and environmental regulations
testing
These are the onsite officers
Safety officers
this is important because it allows inspectors and builders to identify faults before an actual stress test
Testing process
they requires minimum requirement testing
DPWH
Is to regulate and accompanied by economical work, safety and beauty.
Quality control
is a characteristic of a product that provides a level of performances in terms of service and life.
Quality
3 keys in quality control
Owner, Implementer, Quality
there will be work to be done
owner
there will be work to be constructed
implementer
performance level
Quality
Is the certainty that the materials are regulated in accordance with specifications.
Quality assurance
this is to insure the highest quality of work and extend the service life of any structure by constructing according to the prescribed plans and specifications.
Quality Control
Information regarding the location of materials sources that will be incorporated into the work may be represented
The selection of materials
to avoid damage, it should be placed in a safe place protected from contamination or the action of water.
handling and storage of materials
All materials for testing requires proper sampling. These are indicated in AASHTO and ASTM. Quality control also required proper testing, construction method and workmanship.
sampling and testing of materials
Usually, it comes with experience and practical methods but for some materials, methods of construction are given by instructions for each work. The following are the techniques in project handling and construction methods.
Proper construction methods
The progress reports require inspection of the actual work being carried out, and the work accomplished per week of operation. The purpose of this is to ensure that the materials and workmanship is being done by the hired contractor.
inspection and project monitoring
This is being enhanced through compaction to attain the subgrade requirements for selected Fill which is more than or equal to 4%.
Subgrade
this determines the thickness of pavement structure
Subgrade strength
this are layers of aggregates laid on a subgrade
subbase course material
