    Construction Supplies

    Selecting the materials to be used in construction


    depends on the desired characteristics of the structure
    being built. It also depends on the actual design of the
    building or the infrastructure.
    Clay Products
    ● Structural clay products
    such as building bricks, tiles,
    and sewer pipes take into
    consideration the structural
    integrity of the materials.

    Bricks are clay products.


    Clay Products
    ● Refractory bricks or fire
    bricks are used in lining
    furnaces and fireboxes.

    ● The fireplace is one of the


    most common applications
    of refractory ceramics.
    Bricks are clay products.
    Clay Products
    ● Portland cement is a ceramic
    material which is considered
    as an important ingredient for
    construction.

    ● It is used mainly as a binding


    material for sand and gravel to
    form a solid mass.
    Water-cement ratio relative to the
    strength of the concrete.
    Clay Products
    ● One of the characteristics
    you need to consider in
    selecting the type of
    portland cement is its
    ability to form a paste
    which eventually hardens
    when it chemically reacts
    with water.
    Water-cement ratio relative to the
    strength of the concrete.
    Aggregate Materials
    ● Together with water and
    portland, aggregates are
    granular materials like sand,
    gravel, or small stones
    needed to make concrete.

    Gravel is one of the components


    of a concrete mixture.
    Aggregate Materials
    ● Aggregate materials should
    be hard, and the particles
    that constitute around 60%
    to 75% of the total concrete
    volume should be strong.

    Gravel is one of the components


    of a concrete mixture.
    Abrasives
    ● Abrasives are hard
    substances capable of
    cutting, shaping, and
    polishing both hard and
    soft materials.

    Abrasion process and the


    resulting shavings.
    Metals
    ● Engineering and construction
    materials are commonly
    made up of metal alloys.

    ● An alloy is made up of a
    combination of metals.

    Ferrous alloy is used to the


    manufacture of steel floorings.
    Metals
    ● Ferrous alloys are materials
    where iron is the prime
    constituent.
    ○ They are produced in bulk and
    highly useful in construction

    ● Copper alloys are used in


    several machine parts. Copper alloys are used in
    various machine parts.
    Metals
    ● Aluminum and its alloys are
    used as good materials in
    construction supplies.

    ● Steel is an iron-carbon alloy.


    ○ Steel is used for multiple
    purposes.
    Aluminum alloys can also be used
    to manufacture car wheel parts.
    Structural clay products such as building bricks,
    1 tiles, and sewer pipes take into consideration the
    structural integrity of the said materials.

    Portland cement is a ceramic material which is


    2 considered as an important ingredient for
    construction.

    Abrasives are hard substances capable of cutting,


    3 shaping and polishing both hard and soft materials.
    Write the word true if the given statement is correct;
    otherwise, write the word false.
    1. Concrete is made up of cement, aggregates, and water.
    2. The type of aggregate is important in the quality of the hardened
    concrete.
    3. Metal alloys possess combined properties of the metals present in
    it.
    4. Steels are preferred in construction due to its durability and
    corrosion resistance properties.
    5. Clay products are important to construction because of its
    durability and conductivity properties.
    What is the relationship between the aggregate
    particle size and concrete properties?
