    This document discusses materials testing for civil engineering students. It covers several key topics: 1) The importance of determining materials properties through physical tests to resolve disputes over failures or quality issues. 2) The basic subjects covered in materials testing including testing techniques, the physical and mechanical principles involved, measurement theory, variability in materials, and interpreting test results. 3) The most important mechanical tests focus on strength and failure properties like rupture and deformation. 4) Selection of materials considers serviceability as the ultimate criterion and depends on factors like available materials, material properties, service requirements, economy, manufacturing methods, specifications, and testing/inspection methods.

    Properties & Testing of Structural Materials

    Control of Material Properties

    •All branches of engineering, especially those dealing with


    structures and machines are concerned with materials
    • Materials properties must be determined by tests
    • Settlement of disputes regarding failures and substandard
    quality calls for physical tests

    The following subjects are basic in the study of materials testing


    1-Technique of testing
    (operation, apparatus is widely used…)
    2
    2-physical and mechanical principles involved in the testing apparatus and
    procedure
    (are the assumed conditions satisfied)
    3-theory of measurements
    (precision of results)
    4-variability of materials
    (number of tests)
    5-interpretation of results
    (significance of test results …)
    reliability of the test data

    3
    Engineering Materials

    Principal materials used in building structures and machines


    are:
    Metals, woods, Portland cement concretes, bituminous
    mixtures, clay products, masonry materials and plastics.

    Principal Function of constructional materials is to develop:


    -Strength
    -Rigidity
    -Durability adequate to the service for which they are
    intended

    Properties of Engineering Materials

    5
    Most Important Mechanical Testing In Particular :

    Strength: Resistance to failure of entire piece of


    material, a small part of it or even its surface

    Failure
    1-rupture
    2-excessive deformation

    6
    Selection of a material:

    Serviceability is the ultimate criterion in a choice of materials.


    One important object of materials testing is to aid in predicting
    or ensuring the desired performance of materials under service
    conditions.

    In the selection of materials, designers have two sources of


    information:
    1) Knowledge or performance of materials in actual service
    2) Results of tests made to supply data on performance.

    7
    Selection Of Materials Regarding Design and
    Manufacture Depends on:

    1-kind of materials available


    2-properties of materials
    3-service requirements
    4-relative economy
    5-method of manufacture or processing
    6-methods of specification
    7-methods of testing and inspection
