Read to find out which building material is the best so that you can make the right choice for your home.
It depends on an array of variables, such as:
l A person's or company’s budget for building a home or a building.
l The location might make it harder or easier to get said materials to the building site.
l Sustainability has to do with the former because using locally sourced supplies will involve fewer transportation efforts. Also, limited prepared materials, such as adobe mud and bamboo normally leave a more miniature footprint than concrete and you may require concrete trowels or clay bricks.
Moreover, wood can sometimes be a sustainable supply, if managed well through its lifespan, wood parts can be reused later on in different building locality, and it also doesn’t demand the usage of parasites, which concrete does.
l Weight needed to be withstood by the structure which too varies depending on what is the expected use. For example, a floor that is going to be used as a garage has to withstand much more weight than a floor that is going to be used as, say, a classroom.
l The structural forces involved. They are divided into 5 types: tension, compression, shear, bending, and torsion. One material can fare extremely with one type of force and perform poorly with another. Steel, for example, deals very well with tension but isn’t the most recommended material to withstand compression efforts.
