Lectures

The lecture covers the classification, properties, production, and uses of various building materials. It discusses the physical, mechanical, deformation, hygric, thermal, and acoustic properties of materials. It also addresses different binders like cement, lime, gypsum, and geopolymers, as well as concrete mixes, aggregates, stone, ceramics, metals, glass, wood, bitumens, and polymers. The goal is to help students understand the basic characteristics and appropriate applications of common construction materials.
