Lecture Note: Construction Materials II - Bloom's
Taxonomy in Action
Targeted Audience: Construction Technology and Management Students

Course: Construction Material II

Learning Objectives:

 Understand the processes involved in concrete production, properties of fresh and


hardened concrete, and perform lab tests on both (Application & Creation).
 Comprehend the use of metals and alloys as construction materials (Creation).
 Understand the use of timber and asphalt as construction materials, and perform lab tests
on both (Application).

Bloom's Taxonomy and Learning Outcomes:

Today, we'll explore construction materials through the lens of Bloom's Taxonomy, a framework
for classifying learning objectives by complexity. This will help you understand the different
levels of knowledge and skills you'll develop throughout this course.

1. Concrete (Application & Creation):

 Application (Level 4): We'll delve into the concrete production process. You'll learn to
apply this knowledge by:
o Identifying the ingredients (cement, aggregate, water, admixtures) and their roles.
o Calculating concrete mix proportions based on desired properties.
o Performing lab tests on fresh concrete (slump test, air content test) to assess
workability.
o Interpreting test results to ensure proper concrete placement and finishing.
 Creation (Level 6): Moving beyond application, we'll explore creating new concrete
mixes with specific properties. You'll learn to:
o Research and propose innovative mix designs using supplementary cementitious
materials or admixtures.
o Develop strategies to improve concrete sustainability or performance.
o Design concrete mixes for specialized applications (high-strength concrete, self-
compacting concrete).
2. Metals and Alloys (Creation): (Level 6)

Here, the focus shifts to creating knowledge about metals and alloys. You'll learn to:

 Classify different metal types based on their properties (strength, corrosion resistance,
workability).
 Compare and contrast the suitability of various metals and alloys for specific
construction applications (structural steel, reinforcing bars, roofing sheets).
 Research emerging trends in metal construction, like lightweight alloys or composite
materials.

3. Timber and Asphalt (Application): (Level 4)

Similar to concrete, we'll focus on applying knowledge about timber and asphalt:

 Identify different types of timber and their structural properties.


 Specify appropriate timber grades for various construction elements (beams, columns,
trusses).
 Perform lab tests on timber (moisture content, strength tests) to ensure quality control.
 Understand asphalt production and its use in pavements and waterproofing applications.
 Conduct basic asphalt testing procedures (penetration test, softening point test) to assess
asphalt quality.

Remember: Bloom's Taxonomy is a guide. As the course progresses, we'll move seamlessly
between these levels, building a strong foundation in construction materials and encouraging you
to think critically and creatively.
