Construction Procedures and Materials (2500229) – Course 2024/25 PDF
Contents
Sustainable building materials are those that do not deplete non-renewable (natural) resources and do not have an adverse impact on the environment when used. Although in practice it is very difficult to achieve these two objectives, the aim is to develop and use building materials aimed at sustainable development. For this, in each of the construction materials studied in the different topics, in addition to describing their physical-chemical and mechanical properties, the properties linked to sustainable development will be described. In the introduction, the average values of construction materials will be provided in terms of: - Consumption of raw materials in their production (minerals, water, etc.) - Incorporated energy, in Eq CO2. (consumption/production emissions, consumption/transport emissions, etc.) - Reuse and Recyclability - Durability Concrete is the most used construction material in civil works. This topic analyzes the components of concrete (aggregates, cements, additives and water), the production process and placement. In addition, the fresh and hardened state properties of concrete and the durability of reinforced and prestressed concrete are studied. Special emphasis will be placed on the use of secondary materials (recycled aggregates and industrial by-products such as aggregates and supplementary cementitious materials) in new low-impact concretes and the analysis of the eco-efficiency of concrete. All aspects will be addressed theoretically and through problems. Laboratory practices will be carried out with which the manufacturing part, properties of the fresh and hardened state of conventional concrete and recycled concrete will be reinforced. Chapter 1.

Concrete Concrete In the construction industry, metals are used in an infinity of applications, whether as structures, facade cladding, anchors or enclosures. Metal is an essential element in contemporary buildings and civil works. The components that constitute the most used metals in construction (steel, iron, aluminum, copper and titanium) will be analyzed. Its manufacturing process (energy cost and emissions) and recyclability. In addition, the physical-mechanical properties and its durability. Chapter 1. Ferrous Alloys. Mechanical properties.

Regulations and environmental analysis metals the ceramic industry is the oldest industry of humanity. Ceramic material is understood as the product of various raw materials, especially clays, which are manufactured in the form of powder or paste (to be able to shape them in a simple way) and which, when subjected to firing, undergo physical-chemical processes by which they acquire consistency. stoney In other words, more simply, they are non-metallic inorganic solid materials produced by heat treatment.
