Lesson Objectives

At the end of this lesson students will be able to

differentiate between the different types of wall

materials, as well as determine which wall

material is best used for a particular job or task.

Question

What is a Wall Material?

Wall Material Definition

Wall materials are building materials and items used for wall

construction. The most important requirements of wall

materials are determined by the load-bearing and partitioning

functions of the walls. An important characteristic of an

individual wall material is the relative amount of labor

required to erect walls made of that particular material.

1.What are the different types of wall material?

2.What are other wall materials that were not listed ?

Description and Purpose

BricksA brick is building material used to make walls, pavements and

other elements in masonry construction. Traditionally, the term

brick referred to a unit composed of clay, but it is now used to

denote any rectangular units laid in mortar. A brick can be

composed of clay, sand, and lime, or concrete materials.

Description and Purpose

Building BlocksBlock, when built in tandem with concrete columns and tie beams and

reinforced with rebar, is a very common building material for the load-

bearing walls of buildings, in what is termed concrete block structure

(CBS) construction. Concrete blocks are made from cast concrete and

are usually made of cement, sand and fine gravel. Clay blocks are made

using the same cast process but are made of clay, sand and cement.

Description and Purpose

StoneStone walls are a kind of masonry construction that has been used for

thousands of years. Stone walls are usually made of materials varying

from limestone and flint to granite and sandstone. However, the quality

of building stone varies greatly, both in its endurance to weathering,

resistance to water penetration and in its ability to be worked into

regular shapes before construction.

Description and Purpose

ConcreteConcrete walls are classified into two types plain concrete wall

and reinforced concrete wall. Reinforced concrete wall is

designed as a compression member. Reinforced concrete wall is

used in case where tie beam is not provided and load from the

decking is heavy or when the masonry wall thickness is restricted.

Description and Purpose

TimberTimber walls are most popular in the United States for home

construction. House framework is entirely constructed from timber,

interior and exterior walls are framed from timber and they are either

covered with gypsum or oriented strand board sheets. The intricate

design of the walls aid in their durability as well as their load bearing

capacity.
