Development
/dɪˈvel.əp.mənt/
The process of land development involves changing a landscape to suit the
needs of those who seek to inhabit it and utilize it.

What are we going to learn in this section?

In the process of developing lands, we are going

to come across some structural components and
all kinds of materials. Each element has its
quality, attribute, or distinctive feature and
uses for the building. We must consider these
properties to select the perfect materials to
construct functional and durable structures or
properties that will persist against predicted and
unpredicted damages. That is why we must
understand and recognize these attributes.

Examples
MATERIALS AND ITS PROPERTIES
A man can easily lift a large roll of glass
wool but not a concrete beam.
Glass wool is light
but concrete is heavy.
WEIGHT
If we want to classify objects
based on their weights, we'll
get heavy and light objects.
A man can bend a rubber tile but not
a concrete tile.
Rubber is flexible
but concrete is rigid.
FLEXIBILITY
When we classify objects
based on their bending ability,
we can differentiate them as
flexible and rigid objects.
Wood can burn but concrete cannot
burn.
Wood is combustible
but concrete is non-combustible.
FLAMMABILITY
When we classify objects based on their
ability to catch on fire (flammability or
combustibility), we'll get combustible
and non combustible objects.
Water vapour can pass through
stone but not through bitumen.
Stone is permeable
but bitumen is impermeable.
VAPOUR
PERMEABILITY
When we classify objects based
on their permeability, we get
permeable and impermeable
objects.
You can see through glass but not
through wood.
Glass is transparent
but wood is opaque.
TRANSLUCENCY
If we classify objects based on
their transparency or translucency,
we get transparent and opaque
objects
Examples
MATERIALS AND ITS PROPERTIES
Stainless steel can resist corrosion but
mild steel cannot.
Stainless steel is corrosion
resistant but mild steel is not
corrosion resistant.
CORROSION RESISTANCE
If we want to classify objects based
on their resistance to corrosion, we'll
see materials that are corrosion
resistant and not corrosion resistant.
Heat can be easily transfered through
copper but not through wood.
Copper is a good conductor of
heat but wood is poor conductor
of heat.
THERMAL CONDUCTIVITY
When we classify an object based on its
ability to conduct heat, we will find
materials that are good conductors of heat
and poor conductors of heat.
Rubber can be stretched or compressed and will
return to its original shape but clay cannot.
Rubber is elastic but clay is plastic.
ELASTICITY
When we classify objects based on
their ability to return to their original
shape and size, we get elastic and
plastic objects.
Bitumen can be dented or scratched
easily but glass cannot.
Bitumen is soft but glass is hard.
HARDNESS
When we classify objects based on their
quality of being able to withstand
localized permanent or plastic
deformation, penetration, scratching, or
bending, we get soft and hard objects.
Practice I
Match the diagrams with the sentences and fill in the properties

1.A-d 2.B-f 3.C-b 4.D-c

The corrugated iron roof cannot
prevent the sun from heating up
the house, i.e. iron is a good
conductor of heat and a poor
thermal insulator
The ceramic tiles on the floor
cannot be scratched easily by
people walking on them. This
means that ceramic tiles are hard
materials
The T-shaped aluminium section The stone block cannot be lifted
can resist chemical action, i.e. without using a crane. This means
aluminium is corrosion resistant that stone is heavy
Practice I
Match the diagrams with the sentences and fill in the properties

5.E-a 6.F-g 7.G-h 8.H-e

The polythene membrane can
prevent moisture from rising into
the concrete floor. This means
that polythene is impermeable
Asbestos sheeting can be used to
fireproof doors. In other words
asbestos is non combustible
Black cloth blinds can be used to
keep the light out of a room, i.e.
cloth is opaque
Glass wool can help to keep a
house warm in the winter and cool
in the summer, i.e. glass wool is a
good thermal insulator and a poor
conductror of heat
Practice II
Make sentences about four other
properties of materials from this
table:

STEEL
Steel has the property of high tensile strength
this means it can resist high tensile forces.

STONE
Stone has the property of high compressive
strength that means it can resist high
compressive forces.
Practice II
Make sentences about four other
properties of materials from this
table:

GLASS WOOL
Glass wool has the property of good
thermal insulation, this means it does not
transmit heat easily.

BRICK
Brick has the property of good sound
insulation, that means it does not transmit
sound easily.
Practice III

for window panes? the heat in hot-water tanks? thin layer of zinc?
Practice III
Answer the following questions:

Question 4 Question 5 Question 6
