BUILDING MATERIALS
IntroductionCharacters, Purposes, Tasks and Learning MethodsTo learn the knowledge about building materials related to the architectural design, the structural design, and construction projects
Focusing on the major content, that is, the construction function and reasonable application of the materials.Engineering MaterialsEngineering materials are combination of elements.
In dealing materials, consider the economical aspects of their application.
Building MaterialsThe building materials discussed in this course are all the materials used in building foundations, bases, floors, walls, beams, plates, roofs and architectural decoration.Classification of Building MaterialsChemical Component

Functions of MaterialsThey can be divided into:
Structural Materials - mainly used as load-bearing members, such as the materials used for beams, plates and columns.
2. Functional Materials - mainly possessing some special functions in construction, such as waterproof, ornamental and heat-insulating functions, etc..Characteristics of Building Materials The function required by projects
The durability proper for the environmental conditions
The rich resources to meet the needs of construction
Low price
Characteristics of Building Materials Ideal building materials should be:
LightHigh-strengthAestheticsHeat-insulatingSound-absorbing
WaterproofShockprooffireproofNon-toxicefficient
PROPERTIES OF ENGINEERING MATERIALSPhysical Properties of MaterialsCharacteristics that are used to describe a substance in the absence of external forces.DensityApparent DensityBulk DensitySolidityPorosityFill RateVoidageHydrophilicity and hydrophobicityIf it can be wetted by water, it is the hydrophilic material; if not, it is the hydrophobic material.The Water Absorption and HygroscopicityWater absorption
refers to the property of absorbing water when materials are exposed to water.

Divided into:
Non-flammable Materials
Fire-retardant Materials
Flammable MaterialsNon-flammable MaterialsNon-flammable materials are the ones that cannot be fired, carbonized or slightly burned when contacting with fire or high temperature in the air.

Fire-retardant MaterialsFire-retardant materials are the ones that are hard to be burned or carbonized when contacting with fire or high temperature in the air and stop burning or slightly flaming immediately when leaving fire.Fire-retardant MaterialsCement Asbestos Board
