A Review on Comparison of Ancient and Modern Construction Materials in Civil Engineering
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
There is a vast difference between the construction materials used by Civil Engineers in ancient times and recent times. Earlier the use of waste materials in the construction projects are not preferred but nowadays the use of waste and recycled materials are preferred over a large extent. Now a days the objective of every construction project is to obtain maximum and good productivity with the minimum utilization of resources. Also, earlier strength development in short periods becomes the first motive of the Civil Engineers. In recent times, the use of modern construction materials helps the Engineers to obtain the desired properties in short duration of time. In ancient times, the use of common construction materials does not provide satisfactory and desired properties in short period of time. Also, in olden times, the use of waste and recycled materials did not become common by the Engineers. There are many advantages of using modern construction materials than ancient construction materials.
