yes, you don't want a building material that's porous unless your purposely trying to contain water, like when we have a solar storm or nuclear bomb attack, and you want the radioactive elements to remain in your building material for months or years.

Does porosity effect building materials?
Yes it does.
What is proisity?
Porosity is the measure of void spaces that are found in materials. It is commonly used in geology and some other sciences.
What are the advantages of using recycled building materials?
There are many advantages to using recycled building materials. First, using recycled building materials is good for the environment and helps to save natural resources. Secondly, the cost of recycled building materials is usually less than buying them new.
Does porosity affect the strength and properties of building materials?
Yes. Porosity is the void space between grains or clasts of a solid material such as the gaps between the grains in sandstone. Rocks that have higher porosity are typically less stiff at small strain values than more porous rocks as the initial deformation closes up the pore spaces which is relatively easy to do compared to causing deformation of the solid clasts. Pore spaces are also preferential pathways of weakness through a material and as such fractures are more likely to form connecting up porous regions of a solid. As such the more porous a given material, the easier it will be for a fracture to propagate through it. Also porous materials are more likely to contain water which can have a signficant impact by causing significant reductions in the materials the compressive strength.
What does porosity mean in welding?
Porosity is the formation of bubbles in the weld.
Does porosity effect building materials?
Yes it does.
How does porosity affects building materials?
old
How does porosity arise in materials?
Like how poruous it is (how easily water goes through it)
What three factors affect a materials porosity?
size and shape are 2 of them
What Is a measure of the volume of open space in rocks and unconsolidated geological materials such as alluvium and soils?
porosity
Is porosity a measure of the volume or open space in rocks and unconsolidated geological materials such as alluvium?
true
Discuss the influence of materials on building costs and explain how you will help your client to make the best decisions in building?
COE204 UFS? Couldn't believe my luck. Disappointed to see no answers.
What are the examples of hardness elasticity tenacity ductility malleability plasticity and porosity?
These are all physical properties of materials.
What is building materials?
Organic building materials are any type of materials that originate from living things. Organic building materials include carbon and are able to decay. Wood and straw bales or mud are examples of organic building materials.
Are elevators building materials?
No elevators are not building materials. they are a system that is fabricated elsewhere and installed in a building.
What is proisity?
Porosity is the measure of void spaces that are found in materials. It is commonly used in geology and some other sciences.
Building materials that begin with the letter I?
Insulation and in-wall speakers are building materials.
