The role of materials in civil engineering
The development of materials is the key to promoting the progress of civil engineering. High-performance concrete makes the harsh environment of civil engineering can be achieved, such as the Qinghai-Tibet Railway, the Three Gorges Dam. The development of prestressed concrete and pumping technology makes large-span, high-rise buildings possible. The development of insulation and sealing materials has promoted the use of passive homes. The current development and development of civil engineering materials, various smart or intelligent materials with self-sensing, self-regulating and self-adjusting functions are bound to promote the further development of civil engineering.
The material determines the form of a building or a structure. The material determines the form of the project. For example, the Sui Zhaozhou bridge is made of stone, stone is brittle material, despite the superb design skills, the material determines the span of Zhaozhou Bridge can not be too large, only 30 meters. This is already the stone used in the ultimate bridge! The application of modern high-performance concrete and high-strength steel bar is only possible to make the Hangzhou Bay Bridge, single span of more than 100 meters. The tower is also the case, the brick material of the Wild Goose Pagoda was 58 meters, while the modern material of the Dubai Tower has 818 meters. So the material is to restrict or determine the development of civil engineering.
Material determines the building's functionality, applicability, durability, aesthetics and cost. From the ancient thatched cottages, huts, bamboo houses to adobe houses, triad, to sintered bricks, cement concrete, steel, reinforced concrete, polymer, etc., the applicability of civil engineering, durability in the non-stop. Function, the waterproof material to determine the function of hydraulic i
1. Material is the material basis of civil engineering. Design drawings and then perfect, construction drawings and then qualified, not really building materials, is unable to change the project from two to three
Material refers to the civil engineering materials, broadly include all the materials used in civil engineering. According to the use of points, there are structural materials, waterproof materials, decoration materials, insulation materials, wall materials, etc.
