12 Questions
Why is standardisation important in the building materials industry?
To ensure quality and efficiency in production.
What effect does each revised standard have on the products?
Higher requirements are placed on the products.
How does the industry benefit from keeping up with standards?
It gains in both quantity and quality of products.
Why is it important to compare the performance of similar materials under specific service conditions?
To develop products with greater economic efficiency.
How can expenditures for running an installation be minimized?
By improving the quality of building materials and products.
What knowledge is required for building industry economists to optimize engineering and economic performance?
Knowledge of building materials, their applications, and manufacturing techniques.
What is the formula for density of a material?
Density = Mass/Volume
What is the formula for bulk density of a material?
Bulk Density = Mass of specimen/Volume of specimen
Give the density range for brick.
2.5–2.8 g/cm3
What is the bulk density formula for a material in its natural state?
Bulk Density = Mass of specimen/Volume of specimen (in its natural state)
How do bulk density and density typically compare for most materials?
Bulk density is generally less than density.
How are properties like strength and heat conductivity affected by bulk density?
Properties like strength and heat conductivity are greatly affected by bulk density.
