About Construction Materials
GoConqr OriginalWhat the resources cover
The unit works through the everyday materials of building. The TIMBER mind map sets out properties such as hardness, fragility, ductility, porosity, density, durability and sustainability. The CONCRETE mind map covers the mix of cement, fine aggregate, coarse aggregate and water, and explains why too much water makes concrete weak while too little leaves it stiff and unworkable. The PAINTS map covers components such as binder, diluent and pigment, plus oil based and water based types.
Metals and corrosion are covered too. Manufacturing Steel follows an integrated mill, with iron ore, coke and limestone as raw materials. The Corrosion flashcards ask about prevention and cathodic protection.
Where to start
- Open Building Materials' Properties or Physical Properties for the basic vocabulary.
- Move to a single material, such as Bricks, Cement or Aggregates.
- Use binding materials for lime, from quick lime to slaked lime and fat lime.
- Finish with testing, using the Testing and grading materials flashcards on slump tests and compressive tests, and the Mortar Testing mind map.
Using quizzes and maps together
Read a mind map first to see how a topic fits together. Then take a quiz on the same material, such as BUILDING MATERIAL: WOODS or BUILDING MATERIALS: PLASTICS. Note the questions you miss, go back to the map branch that covers them, and try again. Flashcards such as Fire resistant materials are handy for short gaps in your day.
Exam practice
Professional candidates can try the SSC-JE CIVIL quizzes, which are the listed resources that mention SSC JE. Treat them as practice, then return to the maps for any weak spots.
Where it sits
This unit belongs to the Construction Materials strand of Civil engineering and construction. Pick a material that is new to you, open its map, and then make your own flashcards from what you find.
Frequently asked questions
Which resource should I open first?
Start with a general map such as Building Materials' Properties or Physical Properties. They give you the shared vocabulary. After that, choose one material, for example Cement, Bricks or Aggregates, and take a quiz to see what you remember.
What do the mind maps cover?
They cover timber properties, concrete mixes, paints, steel manufacture, binding materials such as lime, bricks, stone, aggregates, mortar testing, blastfurnace cement and rubberized asphalt. Each one breaks a material into short branches that are quick to scan before a quiz.
Is there anything for SSC JE?
Yes. The page lists SSC-JE CIVIL quizzes, and SSC JE is the exam named in the listed resources. They suit professional candidates who want practice questions on materials alongside the maps and flashcards.
Are the resources free to use?
Yes. Every resource on this page is free to open, study and take, with no account needed. They were made by GoConqr users, not by GoConqr. A free account also saves your quiz scores and lets you make your own quizzes, maps, flashcards and notes.
Who is this page for?
It suits university students and professional candidates, school students, and teachers. Most of the material is at university level, with some secondary-level and professional resources. Students can revise or fill gaps, and teachers can pick ready-made maps, decks and quizzes.
What if the topic I need is missing?
Try a nearby title first. Concrete, cement and aggregates each appear in several resources, so a related map may cover it. If not, you can create your own map or flashcards and build the topic up from your course notes.
