  • the process of fastening together pieces of metal with rivets that do not have threads
    Riveting
  • It is a porous and fibrous structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants
    Wood
  • A concrete mixture which has high workability, high strength, high modulus of physical property, high density, high dimensional stability, low permeability and resistance to chemical attack
    Ultra-high performance concrete
  • a line on the surface of something along which it has split without breaking apart
    Crack
  • It has Dense, highly viscous, petroleum-based hydrocarbon that is found in deposits such as oil sands and pitch lakes (natural bitumen) or is obtained as a residue of the distillation of crude oil (refined bitumen).
    Bitumen
  • building materials such as rock, brick, or tile, often bound together by mortar or cement
    Masonry
  • They are relatively rigid walls used for supporting soil laterally so that it can be retained at different levels on the two sides
    Retaining walls
  • It constitutes the primary material for the foundation, subgrade, or even the pavement (for low-cost roads with low traffic in rural areas)
    Soil
  • the process of fastening together pieces of metal by melting a bonding metal between similar metals
    Welding
  • a wall supported by a steel or concrete structure of a building. A curtain wall does not have any support functions itself, as does bearing wall
    Curtain wall
  • It is a substance or material consisting of very large molecules called macromolecules, composed of many repeating subunits.
    Polymer
  • It is a broad category of coarse- to medium-grained particulate material used in construction, including sand, gravel, crushed stone, slag, recycled concrete and geosynthetic aggregates
    Aggregate
  • It is a mixture of paste and aggregates. The paste,composed of Portland Cement and water, coats the surface of the fine and coarse aggregates.Through a chemical reaction called hydration,the paste hardens and gains strength to form the rock
    Cement concrete
  • the degree to which a specified material conducts electricity, calculated as the ratio of the current density in the material to the electric field which causes the flow of current.
    Conductivity
  • They are structural clay products, manufactured as standard units, used in building construction
    Brick and tile
  • They are used to join pieces of wood, mainly when the adjoining pieces connect at an angle of 90°
    Mortise/mortice and tenon
