Chapter 1.1 What things do civil engineers think about when choosing materials for building things? Answer: Civil engineers consider how strong, long-lasting, easy to work with, and affordable materials are when picking them for construction. Chapter 1.3 - Material Properties and Testing Why is it important to test materials in civil engineering? Answer: Testing materials is crucial in civil engineering to make sure they are strong enough and will last. It helps us check if materials are of good quality. Chapter 1.5 - Sustainable Construction Materials What are sustainable construction materials, and give example? Answer: Sustainable materials are ones that don't harm the environment and can be used for a long time. An example is using bamboo in building because it grows fast and can be replaced easily. Chapter 1.6 - The Role of Standards in Material Selection How do Construction rules or standards help when choosing materials for a specific project? Answer: Construction rules or standards give clear guidelines for materials, making sure they are safe for building. Engineers use these rules to create plans for builds. Chapter 1.7 - Quality Control and Quality Assurance What's the difference between quality control and quality assurance in civil engineering? Answer: Quality control is about checking materials as they are made to make sure they meet the rules. Quality assurance is a bigger plan to make sure the whole project is done well and safely.
