Welcome to 'Basic Construction Materials' course !
This lecture examines brittle and ductile behavior in materials, and the concepts of work and energy associated with deformation and fracture. It discusses the significance of toughness in structural design, especially in earthquake-prone areas. It also briefly introduces non-mechanical properties, such as aesthetics, thermal conductivity, and fire resistance, and their importance in material selection.
