Apart from naturally occurring materials like clay, sand, stone and wood, many synthetic and
composite products are extensively used as civil engineering materials nowadays. Each material has its own
merit and demerit. Therefore, before selecting the material one should understand the properties which
would satisfy the functional requirements. The decision will depend on basic issues like physical,
mechanical, and metallurgical properties including their cost, availability, appropriateness, and symbolism.
Broadly, civil engineering materials can be classified as:
(i) Solid materials: Such as stone, bricks, coarse aggregate, fine aggregate, steel and timber etc.
(ii) Cementitious: Such as cement, lime etc.
(iii) Protective materials: Such as paints, varnishes, etc. and
(iv) Other ancillary materials and fittings.
