Concrete
Concrete is a composite material made

from mixing cement, aggregates such as

sand and crushed stone and water.

Concrete is very strong when exposed to

compression stresses, but it is brittle and

has limited tensile strength. Combined

with steel rebar, reinforced concrete is

stronger and more suitable for a wide

range of structures such as tall multi-story

buildings, bridges, roads, tunnels and so

many other applications.

Steel
Steel is one of the strongest
building materials available
with excellent strength
capacity in both tension and
compression. Because of its
high strength-to-weight
ratio, it is ideal for structural
framework of tall buildings
and large industrial facilities.
Wood
Wood has been used as a
construction material for thousands
of years and if properly maintained
can last for hundred of years. It is a
readily available and economically
feasible natural resource with a light
weight and highly machinable
properties. It also provides good
insulation from the cold which
makes it an excellent building
material for homes and residential
buildings.
Masonry
Masonry construction is
using individual units to build
structures that are usually
uses mortar to bound the
units together.

known in ancient Egypt and Greece but were

considered unsuitable for monumental
architecture and seldom used. The Romans, by
contrast, used the semicircular arch in bridges,
aqueducts, and large-scale architecture.

Cantilever
beam supported at one end and carrying a
load at the other end or distributed along the
unsupported portion.
a rigid structural element, such as a beam or a
plate, anchored at one end to a (usually
vertical) support from which it protrudes

employed extensively in building

construction and in machines.

In building, any beam built into a wall and with

the free end projecting forms a cantilever.
In bridge building, a cantilever construction is
employed for large spans in certain sites,
especially for heavy loading
Temporary
Cantilevers
The partially constructed
structure creates a cantilever,
but the completed structure
does not act as a cantilever.
