Apply ASTM standards to select and specify appropriate building materials for a construction project: Upon completing this topic, students will be able to apply their knowledge of ASTM standards to select and specify suitable building materials for a given construction project, taking into account factors such as cost, sustainability, and environmental impact. 2 8/26/2024  INTRODUCTION TO BUILDING MATERIALS Building materials are the materials used in the construction of buildings, houses, and other structures. These materials provide the necessary strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal to a building, and can be categorized into several types based on their properties, uses, and applications. 3 8/26/2024  NATURAL MATERIALS Wood (lumber, timber, plywood) Stone (marble, granite, limestone) Bricks Clay Earth (rammed earth, adobe) 4 8/26/2024 Add a footer  SYNTHETHIC MATERIALS Plastics (PVC, polyethylene, polypropylene) Fiberglass Composite materials (e.g., fiber- cement, wood-plastic composites) 5 8/26/2024 Add a footer  METALS Steel (reinforcing bars, structural steel, stainless steel) Aluminum Copper Zinc 6 8/26/2024 Add a footer  INSULATION MATERIALS Fiberglass batts Cellulose insulation Spray foam insulation Reflective insulation 7 8/26/2024 Add a footer  ROOFING MATERIALS Asphalt shingles Clay tiles Metal roofing (galvanized, aluminum, copper) Slate tiles 8 8/26/2024 Add a footer  EXTERIOR FINISHES Vinyl siding Stucco Brick veneer Exterior insulation and finish systems (EIFS) 9 8/26/2024 Add a footer  INTERIOR FINISHES Drywall Paint Wallpaper Flooring materials (hardwood, carpet, tile, laminate) 10 8/26/2024 Add a footer  GLAZING MATERIALS Glass (windows, doors, skylights) Acrylic Polycarbonate 11 8/26/2024 Add a footer  SPECIALIZED MATERIALS Fire-resistant materials (e.g., fireproofing, intumescent coatings) Soundproofing materials (e.g., acoustic insulation, sound- absorbing panels) Waterproofing materials (e.g., waterproof membranes, coatings) 12 8/26/2024 Add a footer  CEMENT AND CONCRETE Portland cement Ready-mix concrete Precast concrete 13 8/26/2024 Add a footer  The most common classifications are based on their chemical components and functions 14 8/26/2024 Add a footer  According to the functions of materials, they can be divided into structural materials and functional materials: Structural Materials: mainly used as load-bearing members, such as the materials used for beams, plates and columns. Functional Materials: mainly possessing some special functions in construction, such as waterproof, ornamental and heat-insulating functions, etc.. 15 8/26/2024 Add a footer  Characteristics of Building Materials and Their Status in Architecture Importance of building materials: Building materials are the foundation of construction engineering and a crucial part of the national economy. Impact on building quality: The variety, specification, and quality of building materials directly affect the applicability, artistry, and durability of buildings, as well as project costs. Economic significance: Building materials account for about 50% of the total construction cost, making proper choice and utilization crucial for cost reduction and investment benefits. Innovation and development: New building materials continue to emerge, promoting innovation and development in construction techniques, such as: Clay bricks leading to brick-timber structures Concrete and steel bars enabling reinforced concrete structures Light high-strength materials facilitating modern and high-rise buildings Functional materials creating comfortable living and production environments while conserving energy. 16 8/26/2024  Development of Building Materials Evolution of building materials: Building materials have developed alongside human civilization, reflecting the cultural and scientific advancements of each era. Stages of development: Natural materials: Early humans used natural materials to build shelters. Artificial production: With the use of fire, humans began producing bricks, tiles, and lime, marking the beginning of artificial production. Industrialization: The emergence of steel, cement, concrete, and reinforced concrete in the 18th and 19th centuries pushed building materials into a new stage of development. Modern advancements: The 20th century saw significant improvements in building materials, including: New materials with special functions: Heat-insulating, sound-absorbing, ornamental, and other specialized materials were developed. Light, high-strength, and functional materials: Building materials evolved to prioritize these characteristics in the second half of the 20th century. Sustainability and environmental awareness: In the new century, there is a growing emphasis on "Green Building Materials" that are non-toxic and pollution-free, allowing humans to build environmentally friendly "Green Homes". 17 8/26/2024  INTRODUCTION TO ASTM STANDARDS History of ASTM (American Society of the International Association for Testing and Materials) Founded in 1898 by Pennsylvania Railroad engineers and scientists Initially focused on developing standards for railway design and materials 18 8/26/2024 Add a footer  INTRODUCTION TO ASTM STANDARDS Today's ASTM International 30,000 members from various industries, including consumers, academics, producers, and consultants Headquarters in Pennsylvania, with offices worldwide 19 8/26/2024 Add a footer  INTRODUCTION TO ASTM STANDARDS ASTM's Role Develops and publishes technical standards for various industries Enhances performance and safety across products, materials, systems, and services Thousands of ASTM standards are used globally, each with a unique number Standards fall into categories, including: a.
