Over the years, clay bricks, concrete hollow blocks and other conventional construction materials have been in use and they have stood the test of time. However, in the recent times, modern building materials that conform to the standards of international regulations, meet up with the basic needs of safety, economy, good aesthetics and constructability desired for engineered structures and satisfies the contemporary expectations of sustainability and durability have been introduced to the construction industry in the more advanced nations. In the developing nations such as Nigeria such is not the case as the building industry is faced with shortage of affordable building and the masses have difficulties building houses of their own because ...
