Good morning America! This is “How to do it?” and I am (Tom)(Jena). Today I’m going to do an interview to the five greatest experts in construction materials so they would help us to decide which material is the best choice. The first is Jaimar Castro, how are you? (.....) Well tell us about stones, sweetheart: It`s a materials minerals
 * What are they made of? **

 For the construction of monumental architecture There are six types of stone: There are two techniques for working with stone: The simplest and cheapest stonework is RUBLE; i.e., roughly broken stones of any shape bounded in mortar and the strongest and most suitable stonework for monumental architecture is ASHLAR MASONRY, which consists of regularly cut blocks (usually rectangular) Its advantages are durability, adaptability to sculptural treatment, and the fact that it can be used in modest structures in its natural state. Its disadvantages are difficult to quarry, transport, and cut, and its weakness is tension limits its use for beams, lintels, and floor supports.

Oh thanks for that information now the second expert is Jessire Suarez, How are you? Tell us about brick: <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Bricks may be made from clay, shale, soft slate, calcium silicate, concrete, or shaped from quarried stone. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Clay is the most common material, with modern clay bricks formed in one of three processes - soft mud, dry press, or extruded. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Bricks are used for building <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Some are different in formation and composition while others vary according to their use. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Brick drilled, which are those that have holes in the table they occupy more than 10% of the surface of it. They are used in the execution of brick facades. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Solid brick <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Speak cutter <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Facing bricks <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Brick refractory <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The meaning of masonry is to perform a wide variety of structures or buildings cherished through the technique of laying bricks in an orderly succession. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">- Cheap and strong in compression <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">-They're sturdier. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">- They easily can be painted if you want to <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">-Extreme weather may cause degradation of the surface due to frost damage. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">-Brick adds a lot of weight to the foundation. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">-Initial cost is very high.

That was interesting; now Greisy Marcano and Mikel Amenabar are going to talk about Iron and Steel, Hi, how are you?

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">In this moment we are going to talk about Iron. What are the characteristics of iron? Or, What kind of abilities has the iron in the construction? <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Iron has the ability to bear loads and to be produced in an endless variety of forms, in addition to its resistance to fire and corrosion, quickly encouraged architectural adaptations, first as columns and arches and afterward in skeletal structures. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What are the advantages of this material? <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Well, the iron can holds to any shape and is strong in compression. That´s why early arch bridges were made of cast iron. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">And what are the disadvantages of this material? <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The iron is weaker than steel in tension and can breaks without warning. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Very well, now tell me an example of iron construction <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">greisymarcano: An Iron bridge called Shropshire in England is a good example of iron construction. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;"> <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Is time to talk about steel. What are the characteristics of steel? <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">The steel is uniformly strong, elastic, and workable. Also its high resistence in all stresses (tension, compression, and bending) can be closely calculated. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What are the advantages of this material? <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Steel is one of the strongest materials used in construction and is strong in compression than any other material. That’s why engineers choose steel beams and columns to support most skyscrapers. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">What are the disadvantages of this material?. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Steel must to be protected against corrosion by surface covering. Also, steel lose strength in extremely high temperatures. <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">Excellent, so far everything is clear to me. At last, I want to you tell me an example of steel construction <span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%;">A good example of steel construction is the Sears Tower located in Chicago, Illinois.
