Applications of Construction Materials in Building Technology - JSS2 Basic technology Lesson Note

Construction materials are applied across different building technologies:

• Concrete: Used in foundations, walls, slabs, and precast elements due to its moldability and strength.
• Steel: Essential in structural frameworks, beams, columns, and roofing systems where strength and flexibility are critical.
• Timber: Employed in structural framing, flooring, cladding, and interior finishes to enhance architectural aesthetics and provide natural insulation.
