Study Notes
Mechanical Properties of Building Materials
- Materials deform in response to loads, and their specific response depends on properties, load magnitude and type, and element geometry.
- Important mechanical properties of building materials include strength, compressive, tensile, bending, impact, hardness, plasticity, elasticity, and abrasion resistance.
- Strength of materials is the ability to resist failure under stress caused by loads, including compression, tension, bending, and impact.
Stress and Strain
- Stress (σ) is the amount of force applied to a unit of area (N/mm²) and is defined as load (P) divided by area (A).
- Strain (ε) is the amount of deformation per unit length of an object when a load is applied and is defined as change in length (ΔL) divided by original length (L).
- Strain is dimensionless and has dimensions of [Length]/[Length].
Types of Stress
- There are several types of stress, including compression stress, tension stress, shear stress, and torsion stress.
Classification of Building Materials
- Materials can be classified according to their nature of deformation:
- Elastic materials: recover their original shape after removal of the load (e.g. rubber).
- Plastic materials: cannot recover their original shape after removal of the load (e.g. clay).
- Elasto-plastic materials: recover part of the changes in their shape after removal of the load (e.g. steel, concrete, and wood).
Modulus of Elasticity
- Young's modulus (E) is a measure of the ability to resist deformation and is defined as the proportional constant between normal stress and normal strain.
- The modulus of elasticity is a measure of a material's stiffness and is calculated as σ / ε.
- The bigger the modulus of elasticity, the more difficult it is for a material to deform.
Poisson's Ratio
- Poisson's ratio (V) is a measure of the lateral strain to the longitudinal strain of a material.
- Poisson's ratio is calculated as the change in diameter divided by the original diameter.
Material Properties
- Weathering resistance is the ability of a material to endure alternate wet and dry conditions without considerable deformation and loss of mechanical strength.
- Water permeability is the capacity of a material to allow water to penetrate under pressure.
- Frost resistance is the ability of a water-saturated material to endure repeated freezing and thawing with considerable decrease of mechanical strength.
- Fire resistance is the ability of a material to resist the action of high temperature without appreciable deformation and substantial loss of strength.
- Chemical resistance is the ability of a material to withstand the action of acids, alkalis, seawater, and gases.
- Durability is the ability of a material to resist the combined effects of atmospheric and other factors.
- Hardness refers to the property of a material to resist pressing-in or scratch of a sharp object.
- Abrasive resistance refers to the capacity of a material to resist abrasion and is expressed by the abrasion ratio.
