1.0 Introduction:
All the building structures are composed of different
types of materials. These materials are either called building
materials or materials of construction. It is very essential for a
builder, may be an architecture or engineer or contractor, to
become conversant thoroughly with these building materials.
The knowledge of different types of material, their properties
and uses for different purposes provides and important tool in
the hands of the builders in achieving economy in material
cost. The material cost in a building ranges 30 to 50 percent
cost of total cost construction. In addition to material
economy, the correct use of material results in better
structural strength, functional efficiency and esthetic
appearance
1.1 Classification of Rocks:
Building stones are obtained from rocks occurring in
nature and classified in three ways.
1. Geological classification
2. Physical classification
3. Chemical classification
I. Geological Classification:
According to this classification, the rocks are of the
following types.
