PRESENTED BY MAJOR ENG/OSAMA SAID GADALLAH
BUILDING MATERIALS
1. INSULATED CONCRETE FORMS (ICF)
• WHAT IS INSULATED CONCRETE FORMS (ICF) :
• WHAT IS INSULATED CONCRETE FORMS (ICF) :

• INSULATED CONCRETE FORMS (ICF) ARE BECOMING ICF Construction Nudura

A MORE COMMON WAY TO BUILD HOMES.

• THIS INNOVATIVE BUILDING MATERIAL IS TYPICALLY


MADE OF BLOCKS OF POLYSTYRENE FOAM WITH

SPACE IN BETWEEN TO POUR A CONCRETE WALL.

• HISTORICALLY MOST COMMONLY USED FOR

FOUNDATION WALLS, MANY BUILDERS ARE NOW

TAKING ICF FURTHER AND USING THEM FOR ABOVE-


GRADE WALLS OF 1, 2, AND 3 STORY HOMES.
• ICF ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES :

ADVANTAGES

• ICF WALLS ARE PUT TOGETHER LIKE A LEGO


• SIZING AND HANDLING, 1 ICF BLOCK IS EQUAL TO 6 BRICK BLOCKS
• HIGH THERMAL RESISTANCE HIGH R VALUE DEPENDING ON THICKNESS
• CONSERVES ENERGY HIGH SOUND INSULATION AND SOUND ABSORBTION
• LIGHT WEIGHT
• LESS SETUP TIME
• EASY INSTALL PLUMBING AND ELECTRICITY
• ICF ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES :

DISADVANTAGES

• HIGHER COSTS FROM MATERIAL COST (USING REBARS) AND SPECIALIZED LABOR
• REQUIRES A BRACING PROCESS
• FUTURE REMODELING COULD BE CHALLENGING
• LIMITED NUMBER OF CONTRACTORS
• CONSTRUCTION STAGES WITH ICF
• EXCAVATION AND FOOTING
• EXCAVATION AND FOOTING
• TWO METHODS OF FOOTING

• DRY SET METHOD • WET SET METHOD


• WALLS PLACEMENT : REBAR REINFORCING
• OUTER ENVELOPE FORMATION : STRAIGHT LINES OR CURVES
• WATER PROOFING INSULATION
• WALLS BRACING , WINDOWS AND DOORS SQUARE BRACING
• WALLS BRACING , WINDOWS AND DOORS SQUARE BRACING
• FIXING FLOOR BEAMS MAKING BEAM POCKET
• CONCRETE POURING
• FINISHING
• FINISHING

2. M2 PANELS
• WHAT IS M2 PANLES :

• DOUBLE PANEL • SINGLE PANEL


• CURVED PANEL

• FLOOR PANEL • STAIRS PANEL


• WHAT IS M2 PANLES :
• THE M2 BUILDING SYSTEM
COMPOSED OF POLYSTYRENE BOARD
ENCLOSED BY A DOUBLE-GALVANIZED
STEEL MESH JOINED BY CONNECTORS
THE PANEL IS INDUSTRIALLY PRODUCED
AND THEN ASSEMBLED ON SITE WITH
TWO LAYERS OF CONCRETE

• LOAD BEARING, UP TO 6 STORIES,


WITH STRUCTURAL PLASTERING

• USED FOR PARTITION WALLS AND


CURTAIN WALLS
CONSTRUCTION STAGES WITH M2 PANELS
• M2 PANELS ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES :

ADVANTAGES

• M2 PANELS WALLS ARE PUT TOGETHER LIKE A LEGO


• HIGH THERMAL RESISTANCE HIGH R VALUE DEPENDING ON THICKNESS :
FOR EXAMPLE, A WALL WITH A FINISHED THICKNESS OF ABOUT 15CM PROVIDES THE SAME THERMAL INSULATION AS
AN INSULATED SOLID MASONRY WALL OF ABOUT 40 CM

• CONSERVES ENERGY HIGH SOUND INSULATION AND SOUND ABSORBTION


• LIGHT WEIGHT
• LESS SETUP TIME
• EASY INSTALL PLUMBING AND ELECTRICITY
• M2 PANELS ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES :

DISADVANTAGES

• HIGHER COSTS (950 EGP/M2) AND NEED SPECIALIZED LABOR IF COMPARED


WITH ORDINARY BRICK WALL (350 EGP/M2)

• FUTURE REMODELING COULD BE CHALLENGING


• LIMITED NUMBER OF CONTRACTORS
• EGYPTIAN CODES DOESN’T ALLOW USING M2 PANELS AS WALL BEARING
STRUCTURE THE BUILDING MUST HAVE CONCRETE OR STEEL FRAMED STRUCTURE
• R VALUE

3. COMPRESSED EARTH BLOCK
• WHAT IS COMPRESSED EARTH BLOCK (CEB) :

• COMPRESSED EARTH BLOCKS (CEBS)

IS A MIXTURE OF CLAY, SAND, AND

WATER COMPRESSED INTO BLOCKS BY

A HYDRAULIC OR MECHANICAL PRESS.


• WHAT IS COMPRESSED EARTH BLOCK (CEB) :

• COMPRESSED EARTH BLOCKS (CEBS) ARE A

GREEN, ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY

CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

• BUILT WITH LOCAL RESOURCES

• PROVIDE A DURABLE, SUSTAINABLE, AND

AFFORDABLE BUILDING SOLUTION

• USED AS A REPLACEMENT FOR TRADITIONAL

MATERIALS SUCH AS CEMENT, WOOD, BRICK OR

BLOCK
• CEB ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES :
ADVANTAGES
• YOU CAN MAKE CEBS FROM NATURAL, ABUNDANT MATERIALS ON SITE
• CEBS REQUIRE LESS ENERGY TO PRODUCE
• CEBS ARE STRONG AND DURABLE
• CEBS HAVE A WIDE RANGE OF POTENTIAL APPLICATIONS, INCLUDING LOAD-
BEARING WALLS, NON-LOAD-BEARING WALLS, FLOORS, ROOFS, AND COLUMNS

• SOUND RESISTANT
• CEBS ARE COST-EFFECTIVE
• CEB ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES :

DISADVANTAGES

• CEBS TAKES MUCH TIME ON PRODUCTION. ONCE THE BLOCK IS CAST, IT IS


REQUIRED TO SPEND ABOUT THREE WEEKS UNTIL THE BLOCK IS CURED.

• CEBS ARE EXPENSED TO THE RAIN, THEY COULD ERODE EASILY


• CEBS LOW STRENGTH COMPARED TO THE CEMENT BLOCKS. HOWEVER,
ADDING STABILIZERS LIKE PORTLAND CEMENT IMPROVES THE STRENGTH

• LIMITED NUMBER OF CONTRACTORS


CONSTRUCTION STAGES WITH CEB
