TYPES OF BUILDING MATERIALS USED







The various building materials available can be divided into two types and they are:
Traditional materials
These materials serve the basic needs of the majority of the population. These have very useful properties, however, there is a scope to modify these through appropriate changes in the process of production as well as in the techniques of application, so that these are made structurally and functionally acceptable.
Conventional materials
The conventional materials are those, which have been obtained by using the modern technologies and can be mentioned as fruit of research and adopted to indigenous requirements.
