SUITABLE RAW MATERIALS
Availability of raw materials and other inputs is essential for successful implementation of
the projects.
Brick:- A brick may be defined as a block of clay or ceramic used for construction and
decorative
facing. These costs relatively little, resist dampness and heat and lost longer than stone. Some
bricks are
made of special ire clays for the use in fireplace or ovens. Other may be made of glass, or
they may be
textured or glazed.
Concrete:- It is the most widely used construction material in the world. Concrete is the only
major
building material that can be delivered to the jobs site in a plastic state. Qualities of concrete
as a
building materials are its strength economy and durability.
Polymer Concrete: - Another composite material used in architectural elements is polymer
concrete,
a formulation of thermo set resins and aggregate that simulates stone.. The polymer concrete
surface
also has several advantages over real stone because it does not absorb moisture dirt or graffiti.
Stones
like polymer concrete surface can also be created on light weight fiber glass panels
Steel:- Introduction of steel for construction purpose was done by the Americans. Steel not
only act as
a frame but also provides tensile strength to the building. It does not rot and can be easily
molded.
Glass:- It is widely used for construction purpose now a days. Frames that can be of wood or
steel
support them. It is common to see building which are made entirely of glass from all side.
Fiber glass:- For specialty application, fiber glass decorative architectural elements are fast
becoming
the first choice among building owners and architects
