VI. Прочитайте и письменно переведите на русский язык текст TIMBER

1. Timber is the most ancient structural material which was used by the primitive man for building a hut protecting him from stormy weather and wild animals. It is daily growing in importance. Wood is light, easy to work and its mechanical properties are good. Wood possesses a comparatively high strength combined with a small volume weight, elasticity and low heat conductivity. Under favourable service conditions wood remains intact during long periods of time (several hundred years).

2. Timber is a name applied to the cut material derived from trees. The moisture content of timber is important, since the strength of timber decreases as the moisture content rises. Caution must therefore be used when designing timber construction on site, and a maximum safe working stress of 5 N/mm2 is advised under these conditions.

3. Wood is very widely used in the building field, owing to the above indicated qualities and a comparatively low cost. Timber used for building purposes is divided into two groups: softwoods and hardwoods. At present an enormous amount of timber is employed for a vast number of purposes. Hardwoods are chiefly used for decorative purposes, as for panelling, veneering in furniture, and some of them are selected for structural use because of their high strength and durability. In modern construction it is often used for window and door frames, flooring, fences and gates, wallplates, for temporary buildings and unpainted internal woodwork.

VI. Прочитайте и письменно переведите на русский язык текст BRICKS

Bricks as a structural material were known many thousand years ago and are used as a substitute for other materials found in natural state. Bricks are hard and easily fastened together with the help of mortar which makes them suitable for construction purposes.

It is well-known that bricks are usually extremely durable although they may change in appearance after considerable exposure. The two chief causes of deterioration are frost and crystallization of soluble salts. To a large extent the strength is dependent upon the type of clay used and methods of making, but with most types of bricks there is also a considerable variation according to the temperature at which the bricks are burnt. Where considerable loads have to be carried strong brick is needed, but it should be remembered that the strength of a wall is derived from a combination of brick and mortar. Building regulations define the type of mortar to be used with bricks of varying strength to carry varying loads. Nowadays the majority of bricks are used in non-bearing walls.

A brick building is strong, durable and weather resistant. It has, however, certain disadvantages. First, its foundation requires greater durability and takes up a much larger space than that of a wooden structure and is consequently more expensive. Second, the process of constructing a brick building is very slow and requires much skilled labour on the site. Such limitations of bricks led to the development of steel frame technique which allows an easy assembly of structural parts and makes possible the use of new materials.

VI. Прочитайте и письменно переве­дите текст METALS

 

1. The first metals which were used by primitive men were gold, silver and copper. Iron is the world's most common metal. Metals are mostly solids at ordinary temperature, and have comparatively high melting points with the exception of mercury. They are good conductors of heat and electricity and silver is the best in these respects.

2. Tin entered the metal picture when someone discovered, that if it was mixed with copper, the resulting substance was harder. So there came into being the alloy that we call bronze. This metal is often used for making various ornaments.

3. Copper was used in prehistoric times for making weapons and tools and later was alloyed with tin to form bronze. It was replaced for these purposes by iron and steel. The great development of the electric industries has resulted in such extensive uses of the metal that it now ranks next to iron in importance.

4. The copper alloys are widely employed. The alloying of copper with other elements increases the strength of the metal in some cases and improves the anti-corrosive and anti-friction properties in others.

5. Titanium was unknown before 1791. Titanium is the fourth most abundant structural metal in nature. Ore deposits and beach sands throughout the world contain large quantities of titanium. Titanium is lightweight, strong, corrosion - resistant. It is finding increasing application in many different fields. Engineers often use titanium in construction as it doesn't lose its properties when used in conditions of high temperature.

VI. Прочитайте и письменно переве­дите текст BASIC PROPERTIES OF BUILDING MATERIALS

1. The effective use of any building material requires the knowledge of its physical and mechanical properties. The basic properties of building materials may be placed into several groups. The first group includes the physical properties of materials such as specific gravity, volume weight, density and porosity. Other important properties of building materials largely depend on the physical properties.

2. The second group incorporates the properties which show how a building material behaves when affected by water and frost; among these properties are: humidity, absorption of water, water-proofness, frost-proofness and others. The third group unites the mechanical properties of building materials: strength, hardness, etc. The properties of the fourth group are characterized by the behavior of materials when affected by heat: heat conductivity and resistance to fire.

3. Besides the basic properties, special properties are distinguished. The ability of certain materials to resist the destructive effect of acids, alkalies, salts and gases is referred to as chemical resistance or resistance to corrosion. A special group unites the so-called technological properties which characterize the ability of a material to undergo mechanical treatment. Wood, for example, is a material of good workability.

4. From what was said above it follows that the properties of building materials are of a very different nature.

VI. Прочитайте и письменно переве­дите текст ALUMINIUM

1. Metals have specific metallic lustre. All metals except mercury are hard substances. They can be forged, pulled and melted. In general, they are good conductors of electricity. Aluminium is the typical metal in the third group in the periodic classification of the elements. It has a white colour, does not corrode and is resistant to all inorganic acids except hydrochloric.

2. Aluminium is best known light metal. Constituting 8 percent of the earth's crust, aluminium is the most abundant of the metals as well as one of the hardest to produce. It doesn't occur naturally in metallic form, Aluminium exists only in combination with other elements, primarily oxygen, with which it forms an extremely hard oxide known as alumina. Aluminium alloys can possess the strength of steel, though only a third the weight. Alloys of copper and aluminium which contain from 5 to 10 per cent of the latter are called aluminium bronzes. They have a fine yellow colour resembling gold.

3. In direct contact with a heat source, aluminium is an excellent conductor. It can be remelted over and over. It has a very low density and is used in construction when a metal is required and weight is an important consideration. It is ductile, malleable and can be rolled. Its tensile strength is low in comparison with that of iron.

4. Aluminium has replaced heavier copper in high voltage power line. The uses of aluminium are almost illimitable. It is used in aircraft, automobile, chemical and some other industries.

THE CLASSIFICATION OF BUILDINGS. The assembling of various structural elements so that each may perform its function is known as framing.

One classification of buildings is on the basis of the functions of the walls. If the walls carry their share of the dead, live or other loads in addition to keeping out the weather, etc. the building is called a wall-bearing construction. But if the loads, including the weight of the walls, are carried by the structural frame, consisting of columns, beams, trusses and arches, the building is called a skeleton construction. The first type is mostly used for civil building type and the second - for the mill building type.

Skeleton construction with structural elements consisting of light wood joists and studs is extensively used in small dwelling house construction but it is not used for larger buildings.

TYPES OF BUILDINGS. The buildings are divided into classes according to the manner of construction.

1. Frame construction. 2. Non-fireproof construction. 3. Fireproof construction.

Frame construction includes all buildings with exterior walls of wooden framework sheathed with wooden shingles; veneered with brick, stone or terra cotta; or covered with stucco or sheet metal. Such buildings naturally have floors and partitions of wood.

Non-fireproof construction includes all buildings with exterior walls of masonry but with wood floor construction and partitions.

Fireproof construction includes all buildings constructed of incombustible material throughout, with floors of iron, steel or reinforced concrete beams. Wood may be used only for under or upper floors, window and door frames, doors and interior finish. Wire glass is used in the windows and all structural and reinforced steel must be surrounded with fireproof material such as hollow terra cotta and gypsum tile.

BEARING WALL AND SKELETON FRAME. From the point of view of method of construction buildings may be divided into the following groups:

1. Bearing wall construction.

2. Skeleton frame construction.

Bearing wall construction has been the method of structural design employed from the earliest days. By their method the loaded floor and roof beams rest upon the exterior and interior walls, which in turn transmit the loads to the foundation. It is evident that the walls must be of sufficient thickness to carry the loads as well as their own weight.

Skeleton frame construction has been made possible by the development of structural steel and later of reinforced concrete. According to this method the loaded floor and roof beams rest upon girders running between the columns. The columns are placed along the building line and are known as exterior or wall columns; they also occur at required intervals within the body of the building, in which case they are called interior columns. A framework is thereby formed, the walls being carried upon the wall girders at each storey level. The walls are consequently mere enclosure bearing no weight and are of the same thickness on all stories. The columns transmit the loads to the foundations.

The structure of all buildings is made of various combinations and forms of walls, columns, beams and arches. These may be classed as the structural elements.

Walls are continuous usually vertical solid structures forming one of the sides of the building or room. Walls are constructed to enclose areas and to support the weight of floors and roofs. The walls may be solid or hollow. The materials used for the construction of walls can be some forms of masonry, stone, brick, concrete, wood and other natural and artificial materials. Walls of mill buildings are usually constructed of corrugated steel sheets. Walls made of bricks and those built of concrete blocks are suitable both for small buildings and multi-storey structures. Walls may be either covered with wallpaper or only plastered.

Columns are vertical supports either circular or rectangular in shape. In addition to providing support, columns add a decorative touch. In floor construction columns help to support beams and girders when floor joists are used over long span.

Beams are long horizontal pieces of squared timber or steel supported at both ends used to carry the weight of a building. Columns and beams are constructed of timber, steel, light alloy or reinforced concrete. Cast iron was extensively used at one time for columns but steel and reinforced concrete have taken its place. Wrought iron has also been entirely replaced by steel as a structural material.

A truss is a framework supporting a roof, bridge, etc. Trusses are usually constructed of steel but timber is used quite extensively. Reinforced concrete is considered to be the most appropriate material for truss construction and there are many examples of its successful and effective use.

Arches are curved structures supporting the weight of what is above them. Arches of long span are usually constructed of steel and reinforced concrete, but excellent results may be provided with timber when it seems desirable to use that material. Arches over openings in walls are usually constructed of brick, stone or reinforced concrete.

The floors divide a building into stories. They may be either of timber or, in brick buildings, of reinforced concrete details of big and small sizes.

Foundations are to keep the floors and walls from contact with the soil, to act against the action of the frost and to prevent from settlement. The whole structure is crowned by the roof which covers the building and protects it from exposure to the weather.

Materials that are used for structural purposes should meet several requirements depending upon their practical uses. In most cases it is important that they should be hard, durable, fire-resistant and easily fastened together. We determine whether a material is good for building purposes judging by its qualities. At all times it was important to know how the most commonly used materials - steel, concrete, stone, wood and brick - differed in hardness, durability and fire-resistance.

Wood is the most ancient structural material. It is light, cheap and easy to work. But wood has certain disadvantages: it burns and decays. Stone belongs to one of the oldest building materials used by man. It is characteristic of many properties. They are mechanical strength, compactness, porosity, sound and heat insulation and fire-resistance.

Bricks were known many thousands of years ago. They are examples of artificial building materials. Concrete is referred to as one of the most important building materials. Concrete is a mixture of cement, sand, crushed stone and water. Steel has come into general use¹ with the development of industry. Its manufacture requires special equipment and skilled labour².

All building materials are divided into three main groups:

1. Main building materials such as rocks and artificial stones, timber and metals.

2. Binding materials such as lime, gypsum and cement.

3. Secondary or auxiliary materials which are used for the interior parts of the buildings.

We use main building materials for bearing structures.

Binding materials are used for making artificial stones and for joining different planes.

For the interior finish of the buildings we use secondary materials.

If the materials do not require any technological changes in their chemical structure they are referred to as natural building materials. These are: stone, sand, lime, clay and timber.

The importance of practical knowledge of geology when dealing with building stones is so obvious that it would appear quite unnecessary to emphasize it. The engineer should be acquainted with the general structure of rocks. He must study the manner in which any particular rock weathers in the locality where it is to be used.

For example, granite is generally considered one of the most durable rocks, but if it were used in a climate in which heat and cold alternate, it would decompose when exposed to wet. The advent of various kinds of materials and changes which they are subjected to are closely connected with the development of productive forces in different periods of the progress of human society.

The erecting of large modern buildings would not have been possible, unless new building materials had been used. The great structures of our days required new methods of construction. Had not the building materials used in the structures of the feudal period undergone great changes, no progress in building would have been possible. As the labour of man grew more expensive, the working out of natural stones decreased being replaced by brick which soon came largely into use.

Cement, bricks, clay products and concrete are examples of artificial building materials. The way of making clay articles strong and watertight has been familiar to people since old days. But it is only in the middle ages that the art of kilning spread far and wide. The building of factories, plants and railways required building materials of high strength. It is then that iron and concrete came into use.

At the end of the 19^th and the beginning of the 20^th centuries people began to utilize various artificial stone materials such as silica brick, light concrete and others. We may mark the development of different insulating and surfacing materials due to the progress of house building. The forms in which materials are fabricated are constantly changing. The new materials of construction are characterized by increased resistance to deterioration or destruction by external forces. More satisfactory surfacings are being developed to meet modern requirements. The urgent need in housing makes it necessary to combine the structural, insulating and surfacing requirements in a single system. A greater speed in housing construction will be achieved, provided building materials are changed into units of assembly.

There are two kinds of materials used in engineering - metals and non-metals. We can divide metals into ferrous and non-ferrous metals. The former contain iron and the latter do not contain iron. Metals possess the following properties. They have specific metallic lustre. All metals except mercury are hard substances. They can be forged, pulled and melted. In general, they are good conductors of electricity.

The heavy metals include iron, copper, lead, tin and some others. Some metals are light (aluminium), some are hard (iron) and others are soft (tin, lead). The lightest is lithium and the heaviest is osmium. The most useful metals are iron, copper and aluminium. However, only small quantities of the above metals are used in their pure form. Metals vary in density, hardness, heat and electrical conductivity and weight.

The uses of metals are based upon their physical and chemical properties. Non-ferrous metals have the following characteristics: high electric and heat conductivity, high corrosion resistance, non-magnetic qualities, light weight, etc.

An alloy is a mixture of two or more metals melted together. Each constituent of an alloy is called a component. Cast iron and steel are ferrous metals. Cast iron and steel are both alloys, or mixtures of iron and carbon. Cast iron is weak in tension and shear, strong in compression and has low resistance to impact.

As a structural material steel has come into general use with the development of industry, its manufacture requiring special equipment and skilled labour. Steel has largely displaced wood and bricks as basic materials in construction. Speaking of steel we should realize how many different properties it can possess. It is doubtful whether many of us realize the amazing range of the properties of steel. We get it sometimes so brittle that it will snap at the slightest provocation; at others so supple that it buckles under its own weight. It may be so pliant that it can be bent about in wire, or so keen that it will form a cutting edge. These varying properties depend on the nature of the tempering – that is, on the way in which the steel has been allowed to cool, and partly on the substances with which the iron has been combined, such for instances, as carbon, magnesia, tungsten, chromium and nickel.

A steel containing some metallic element other than iron and carbon is generally known as "special steel". It is corrosion-resistant and is widely used in building. Various metals when added to steel in certain percentages, increase hardness and toughness of steel. Cast steel is used to replace cast iron when castings of considerable strength are required.

Plastics and ceramics are non-metals. Plastics have appeared comparatively recently but, owing to their inherent valuable and diverse properties, have found a wide application in many industrial fields (machine-building, aviation, textile industry, etc.). Application of plastics in the building field widens from year to year.

In respect to physical and mechanical properties all plastics are divided into rigid, semi-rigid, soft and plastic. In respect to the number of constituents plastics may be classified as simple and complex. Plastics consisting of one polymer are referred to as simple. Thus, organic glass (plexiglass) consists of one synthetic resin. But in the building field we usually deal with complex plastics, e.g. plastics consisting of a polymer and other components.

Synthetic plastics are man-made substances which not only change their shape when moulded under great heat and pressure, but change their chemical state as well. They are light and hard, being produced by mixing together a number of gases and liquids. A synthetic product must be both better and cheaper in order to justify its manufacture at all.

Plastics combine all the fine characteristics of a building material together with good insulating properties, and are fireproof as well. Plastic products offer many advantages over the materials they replace, such as ease of handling, lower maintenance costs and rapidity of assembly.

Ceramics are used when materials which can withstand high temperatures are needed. Ceramic products are manufactured from different kinds of clay, sometimes with additions of non-plastic materials (sand, sawdust, etc.) by moulding and subsequent burning. The manufacture of ceramic products originated back in the ancient times, many thousand years before our time.

The wide assortment, high strength and durability of ceramic products make them applicable in all sections of constructed buildings, from the foundation to the roof. All ceramic building materials are divided into two groups - porous and dense. Porous materials include clay brick, porous brick, hollow brick, tile, etc. Floor tile and paviour brick are considered to be dense ceramic materials.

A brick is best described as "a building unit". In shape it is a rectangular solid and its weight is from 6.5 to 9 lb. It is an artificial stone made from clay by moulding and burning. It may be made of concrete, of mortar or of a composition of sawdust and other materials. Building bricks are manufactured by two processes: plastic and semi-dry brickmaking.

In many cases bricks are very satisfactory for use in the construction. Bricks generally present a pleasing appearance and can be obtained with various qualities, colours and textures. Being of high volume weight and high thermal conductivity, ordinary bricks are not always satisfactory in building practice. There are other kinds of bricks which are more effective. They are hollow or porous bricks. Light-weight bricks differ from ordinary clay bricks in a lower volume weight and thermal conductivity, and are therefore more economical than ordinary bricks. The use of light weight bricks permits a reduction in thickness of walls. Light­weight bricks are utilized for laying upper stories of multi-storeyed buildings.
