Building Materials

Assignment 1
This assignment is about the degradation and defects and the environmental impact of concrete. In this assignment, in a group we have to research on the topics given.




Dulux Paints
In this assignment, we were given a particular paint company to research on. Our research should contain the products and the characteristics of the products.



Assignment 2
In this assignment, we have to choose a site in which case we have chosen Taylor's University Lakeside Campus Library. We then have to describe the various materials used in the site eg. concrete, metal, glass etc.



Site Visit
We visited a construction site to gain exposure and to see the big picture of construction. The construction site we visited is located at Old Klang road, right beside Pearl International Hotel.

Reflection
Overall I feel that this module is fairly interesting as I get to learn about the different materials used for construction from bricks to glass. However for that same reason it is quite boring as all these are mainly just facts. Even so, I guess this is the 'general knowledge' of those working in the construction field and even if I don't get everything that was taught, at least I get the basic idea of what was taught. I hope to get more well versed in the materials used as I continue my journey in this course.
