Abstract
Los materiales de construcción son aquellos materiales que se utilizan con un fin constructivo. Muchas sustancias minerales naturales, como la arcilla, las gravas y las rocas se utilizan como materias primas para fabricar productos de construcción en edificación y obra civil (p.e. puentes). En este sentido, la arcilla, la piedra, los metales y las arenas y las gravas son los recursos minerales más básicos utilizados en la fabricación de los materiales de construcción. Algunos recursos minerales (p.e. los áridos) sufren un mínimo procesado, mientras otros recursos minerales (p.e. las calizas para cemento) necesitan
complejos procesos para la obtención del producto final en la construcción. Los metales son también otra materia prima mineral que necesita un complejo procesado para obtener el producto de construcción, por ejemplo el acero (aleación metálica cuyo principal componente es el hierro), utilizado como elemento estructural en grandes edificios y como elemento para cubiertas.
Construction material is any material which is used for a construction purpose. Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, gravel and rocks have been used as raw materials to make construction materials for buildings and other constructions (e.g. bridges). In this sense, mud, stone, metal, and gravel and sand are the most basic mineral resources used to manufacture construction materials. Some mineral resources (e.g. aggregates) are minimally processed, whereas other mineral resources (e.g. limestone for cement) need complex processes to obtain the final product for construction. Metals are also another mineral resources which need complex processes to obtain the construction material, for example steel (a metal alloy whose major component is iron), used as structural framework for larger buildings or an external surface covering.
