The document discusses different types of building materials used in construction. It describes petreus materials like rocks and clays that are used as aggregates. It outlines binder materials like lime and cement that are used to bind other materials together. It provides details on concrete mixtures like reinforced concrete. It also mentions ceramic materials like bricks used for walls and roofs, and other materials like metals, wood, plastic and glass. Finally, it outlines the typical phases of construction like site preparation, foundation, structure, covers, closings and finishes.
9. Arids, fragments that come from the disintegration of other rocks. They can be thick or flat.

11. CONCRETE Concrete is a mixture between water, binder materials and arids. The more used are: -Reinforced concrete : bars have been incorporated to strengthen the concrete in tension. -Cellular concrete : produced by the addition of an air entraining to the concrete, making it less heavier and having a better acoustic and thermal isolation. -Mass concrete : its obtained from the mixture of cement, water, sand and gravel. It is used for foundations and walls. -Cyclopean concrete : made by cement, water and arids with a diameter of more than 30cm. Its used in walls and foundations .
17. OTHER MATERIALS Metals. Such as steel, aluminium and copper. Wood. Used in roofs, doors, windows, floors... Plastic. Used as an insulator, in windows, floors... Glass. Used in windows, roofs, decorating...
