INTRODUCTION

Building material are back bone of the civil engineering. They are used in

the construction of buildings, roads, railway lines, airport runways, dams,
water reservoirs in almost all corners of the planet Earth.

Earlier humans shelter wear simple, when the humans started agriculture,
thought to make more durable structures not only for them but also for the
storage of their crops.

The purse for more durability lead to development of man-made materials

like bricks, mortars and concrete and metals. Pragmatically they dreamt
fore Multiplan and multi storey buildings.
 SELF HEALING CONCRETE
Self-healing
 concrete could solve the problem of concrete structures deteriorating well before
the end of their service life.

Tiny
 cracks on the surface of the concrete make the whole structure vulnerable because water
seeps in to degrade the concrete and corrode the steel reinforcement, greatly reducing the
lifespan of a structure.

In
 many civil engineering structures tensile forces can lead to cracks and these can occur
relatively soon after the structure is built, so this concrete is very useful to resist the cracks.

When
 it is subjected to tension it starts to crack, which is why it is reinforced with steel; to
withstand the tensile forces.
GRAPHENE
 Graphene is a single layer of carbon atoms organized in a hexagonal
lattice.
 When graphene sheets are neatly stacked on top of each other and
formed into a three-dimensional shape, it becomes graphite,
commonly known as the “lead” in pencils.
 If the graphene sheets are separated with air-filled pores, the three-
dimensional structure can maintain its properties. This porous
graphene structure is called a graphene aerogel

Graphene
LAMINATED TIMBER
 Glued laminated timber, also abbreviated glulam, is a type of
structural engineered wood product constituted by layers of
dimensional lumber bonded together with durable, moisture-
resistant structural adhesives.
 In North America, the material providing the laminations is termed
laminating lamstock.
 By laminating a number of smaller pieces of lumber, a single large,
strong, structural member is manufactured from smaller pieces.
These structural members are used as vertical columns, horizontal
beams, and arches.

Laminated Timber
TRANSPARENT ALLUMINIUM
 Aluminumox nitride or ALON is a ceramic composed of aluminum, oxygen
and nitrogen. It is marketed under the name ALON by Surmet Corporation.
 It is four times harder than fused silica glass, 85% as hard as sapphire, and
nearly 15% harder than magnesium aluminate spinel.
 ALON is the hardest polycrystalline transparent ceramic available
commercially. Its combination of optical and mechanical properties makes
this material a leading candidate for lightweight high-performance
transparent armor applications such as bulletproof and blast-resistant
windows and for many military infrared optoelectronics.

Transparent Aluminum
ALUMINIUM FOAM
 Two basic foam structures: -Good fellow offers to basic foam
structures in a range of sizes and densities. Thefirst form is
stochastic or evenlysized, but with irregular shaped pores, also
known as Reticulated. The second Foam as regular, stacked cells,
  
 Reticulated Foam: - This foam is a skeletal structure, meaning it
is not a metal coating on a base structure but is instead a pure
meatal /alloy. The cells and ligaments form a regular, reportable,
regular and uniformmatricesthroughout the entirety of the
material.
 Regular stacked cell foam: - this regular, stacked cell foam as
evenly- spaced, openpores, which are polygons with 14 faces- 8
hexagonal and 6 square. It can be imagined as a 3d honeycomb
SUMMARY
 In the support of innovativeness some arugue that the
unique nature of each project provides significant
opportunity to innovate. Nevertheless, uniqueness is
criticizedas hindrance as it discourages expenditure on
innovation or R&D. similarly there are diverse views
about use of innovation. Some propeffesional state that
don’t do innovation because it is against oransitaionalla
and industrial culture, where as some consider
innovation as “sustainable competitive advantage”.in the
authors opinion all this observationis governed by its
own context withoutreferences to the contest it is
impossible to which is right or wrong.
