    Study Notes

    Physical Properties of Materials

    • Color, density, melting point, and boiling point are examples of physical properties.

    Mechanical Properties of Materials

    • Mechanical properties describe a material's response to applied forces.
    • These properties include strength, stiffness, toughness, hardness, ductility, and brittleness.
    • For example, tensile strength measures a material's resistance to breaking under tension.

    Fire Resistance of Materials

    • Fire resistance refers to a material's ability to withstand the effects of fire.
    • This includes its ability to resist heat, flames, and the formation of toxic fumes.

    Concrete and Fire

    • Concrete loses strength when heated, and can crack and crumble if exposed to fire.
    • Concrete's fire resistance is determined by its thickness, the presence of steel reinforcement, and its composition.

    Cement Manufacturing

    • The main raw materials for cement manufacturing are limestone, clay, silica, iron ore, and gypsum.
    • These ingredients are crushed, ground, and then heated in a kiln to produce clinker, which is then mixed with gypsum to form cement.

    Chemical Properties of Materials

    • Chemical properties describe a material's behavior in chemical reactions.
    • For example, the flammability of a material refers to its tendency to burn easily.
