This course covers the essentials of construction materials, starting with natural materials such as rocks, sand, and timber, focusing on their classification and preservation. It then explores artificial materials, including bricks and concrete, assessing their production and applications. Finally, students will engage in practical testing and selection of materials, comparing various metals and emphasising sustainability in real-world construction projects.
