    Introduction to
    Construction
    Materials & Testing

    by: Engr. Vera Karla Caingles


    Introduction to Construction Materials &
    Testing;

    Construction Materials
    - is any material that is used for construction
    - the success of a construction project also lies
    on the materials used especially when the
    materials are tested against time.
    - the durability of the materials is one of the
    relevant factors to be considered.

    Introduction to Construction Materials &
    Testing;

    Construction Materials

    manufactured naturally occurring


    products such materials such as
    cement, rebars, stone, timber, sand,
    pipes, tiles, rock, soil, etc.
    ceramics, glass,
    paints, etc.

    by: Engr. Vera Karla Caingles


    Introduction to Construction Materials &
    Testing;

    Materials Testing
    - is performed for a variety of
    reasons and can provide a
    wealth of information about
    the tested materials,
    prototypes or product
    samples. The data collected
    during testing and the final
    test results can be very useful
    to engineers, designers,
    production managers and
    others.

    Introduction to Construction Materials &
    Testing;

    Reasons why material testing is important


    1. Meeting requirements of
    regulatory agencies
    2. Selecting appropriate
    materials and treatments for
    an application
    3. Evaluating product
    design or improvement
    specifications
    4. Verifying a production
    process

    Introduction to Construction Materials &
    Testing;
    Factors Determining the Choice of Proper
    Material for a Structure
    A. Strength, Rigidity & Durability
    Requirements
    1. Permanent loading → Creep Strength
    (Creep strength is the maximum stress endured by a material for
    a specific period of time without extreme deformation.)
    2. Repeated loading → Fatique Strength
    (Fatigue strength is the highest stress that a material can
    withstand for a given number of cycles without breaking)

    Introduction to Construction Materials &
    Testing;
    Factors Determining the Choice of Proper
    Material for a Structure
    A. Strength, Rigidity & Durability
    Requirements
    3. Impact loading → Toughness & Resilience
    (Toughness is the property due to which the material can
    withstand impact loading without fracture . Resilience is the
    property due to which a material can store energy without
    having permanent deformation)
    4. Surface loading → Hardness & Resistance to abrasion
    (Hardness is measured by poking a point into the test material
    and measuring depth of penetration. Abrasion resistance is
    measured by rubbing something against the test material and
    measuring how much material is removed)

    Testing;
    Factors Determining the Choice of Proper
    Material for a Structure
    B. Environmental Requirements
    1. Temperature Change→ coefficient of thermal
    conductivity
    (The thermal conductivity of a material is a measure of its
    ability to conduct heat)
    2. Moisture movement → permeability
    (Permeability is defined as the volume of a fluid of unit viscosity
    passing through a unit cross section of the medium in unit time
    under the action of a unit pressure gradient)

    Factors Determining the Choice of Proper
    Material for a Structure
    B. Environmental Requirements
    3. Chemical effects → chemical composition
    (Chemical reaction, a process in which one or more substances,
    the reactants, are converted to one or more different
    substances, the products)

    Material for a Structure
    C. Economy
    Choose the cheaper & available materials considering:
    1. Initial cost
    2. Useful life
    3. Frequency of maintenance
    4. Cost of maintenance
    5. Salvage value
    6. Comfortability
