Strength & life of stones
Stones are very durable and last for a long time. Thus, they are used in areas where long life, strength and durability is concerned and the stone is easily and readily available.

The traditional building materials for bridges are stones, timber and steel, and more recently reinforced and pre-stressed concrete. For special elements aluminum and its alloys and some types of plastics are used. These materials have different qualities of strength, workability, durability and resistance against corrosion. They differ also in their structure, texture and color or in the possibilities of surface treatment with differing texture... [Read More] |

It is essentially an elastic material and is either Natural or Synthetic. It is present as an emulsion in the latex of rubber trees mostly grow in hot, moist climate. Crude rubber is obtained by coagulation of latex with alcohol, alum or lime. Crude rubber becomes hard and brittle in winter and soft in... [Read More] |
