This blog is going into some traditional material classification systems as well as alternative methods. Sunday, January 1, 2012. Saturday, September 19, 2009. The traditional classification of materials in architecture has been porganized mostly by the Construction Specification Institute. Materials traditionally used in buildings are placed in broad classes. Micro-fibers at a molecular level.

This posting will give a description of derivative classes of materials; more specifically composite materials. Monday, September 21, 2009. Composite materials are not new. They have been used since antiquity. Wood, straw and mud have been everyday composites. Phases of a composite material. Effect of the Orientation of Impurities. Long Fibers are cut during time of fabrication of the composite material and are used as cut, or woven.
