Building Materials and construction Technology book
Construction material testing can be divided into two categories: field testing, which occurs at the project site, and laboratory testing, which involves taking samples from the project site back to an off-site location for further analysis..
Construction materials in civil engineering
CMT can identify issues related to the quality of the construction material, highlight future risks, help classify a building site, and assist with engineering decisions.
To ensure the safety & viability of the construction materials, both field & laboratory testing are vital..
Why is it important to test materials?
The quality of a material going into a manufactured product is as important as the reliability of the production process.
Materials testing helps us to understand and quantify whether a specific material or treatment is suitable for a particular application..
