Construction Engineering is very important part of Civil Engineering. We can’t think about a good and stable structure without good quality of construction. And the construction materials is also play an important role for any construction work. Construction engineering is a professional discipline that deals with the designing, planning, construction and management of infrastructures such as roads, tunnels, bridges, airports, railroads, facilities, buildings, dams, utilities and other projects. Civil Engineering is a related field that deals more with the practical aspects of projects. Construction engineers learn some of the design aspects similar to civil engineers as well as project site management aspects. Construction Engineers are heavily involved in the design and management/ allocation of funds in these projects. They are charged with risk analysis, costing and planning. Many types of building materials are used in the construction industry to create buildings and structures. KEYWORDS: Construction materials as like Brick, Stone, Cement, Lime-stone, Lime, Water, Reinforcement Steel, Wood etc.

<p>The quality of building materials is one of the key factors in building engineering, which has a very significant impact on the overall construction quality of building engineering. Combined with the actual needs of current construction projects and the constantly updated and developed new building materials and technologies, the inspection of construction materials also needs to be strengthened and improved. In this paper, the possible problems and the original problems of material testing in construction engineering will be discussed, aiming at providing some theoretical reference for material testing in construction engineering.</p>

This contribution describes process which was used for verticality measurement of the bushings for laboratory construction materials in the pavilion of testing. This pavilion is newly built in VŠB-TU Ostrava, Faculty of Civil Engineering, as part of the Testing house of the building materials. The requirement of the building investor was to determine the verticality of the bushings placed between the first aboveground and the first underground floor. After the building finishing, the bushings with the diameter 70 mm will be used for loading tests of various building materials. The final number of bushings is 169, and they are placed lengthwise and crosswise in the step of 750 mm. The centres of the bushings were measured by polar method in pavilion local coordinate system. The precision of the bushing centres determination was }5 mm according to the investor´s requirement. The precision would not be followed if the standard equipment for reflector fixing was used. In that case, it was necessary to design and manufacture special tool in the shape of truncated cone. On the top part was placed central pivot for reflector with additional plate bubble.

Simulation of material properties generally involves the development of a mathematical model derived from experimental data. In structural mechanics and construction materials contexts, recent experiments have reported that fuzzy logic (FL), artificial neural networks (ANNs), genetic algorithm (GA), and fuzzy genetic (FG) may offer a promising alternative. They are known as artificial intelligence (AI). In civil engineering, AI methods have been extensively used in the fields of civil engineering applications such as construction management, building materials, hydraulic, optimization, geotechnical and transportation engineering. Many studies have examined the applicability of AI methods to estimate concrete properties. This chapter described the principles of FL methods that can be taught to engineering students through MATLAB graphical user interface carried out in a postgraduate course on Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Engineering, discussed the application of Mamdani type in concrete technology and highlighted key studies related to the usability of FL in concrete technology.

At the same time, the scale of production of construction companies has also been continuously expanded. Civil engineering is an important component of construction engineering. The quality of civil engineering construction directly affects the image and development of construction companies. Therefore, we should focus on strengthening the control of the quality of civil engineering construction to ensure that the company is moving in a better direction. The author explores and analyzes the main factors affecting the construction quality of civil engineering, and puts forward an effective way to control the quality of civil engineering construction to improve the construction quality of civil engineering.

With the rapid development of economy in China, building technology has been improved and innovated in recent years. Urban development cannot be separated from buildings. However, China’s land resources are limited and cannot meet the increasing housing needs. More and more real estate companies have shifted their investment focus to high-rise building projects, which are more complex and require a lot of building materials than lower-rise building projects. In recent years, with the optimization and upgrading of technology, the requirements of high-rise buildings are getting higher and higher, and the technical operation is becoming more and more difficult. In this case, appropriate methods must be taken to control the technical quality of civil engineering.

The increase in Indonesia's development activities increases people's consumption of more quality construction materials and is easy to reach in terms of price. Building materials with good quality can improve the quality of building construction. The increasing need of the community for building materials triggered the development of the brick-making industry. Redbrick is an element of building used in building construction made from clay base material with or without other mixed materials. This research is a type of experimental research. The purpose of this study is to know and analyze the composition of the addition of corn bark ash and ash corn cob appropriately to produce the quality of bricks with high compressive strength, low water absorption, and large density. Additional materials in this study in the form of corn bark ash and ash corn cob. The quality of red bricks is seen from three aspects, namely compressive strength, water absorption, and density. The largest compressive strength was obtained in the addition of ash corn cob by 2.5% by 37.2 Kg/Cm2 and the compressive strength of 49.5 Kg/Cm2 on the addition of corn skin ash by 2.5%. Water absorption measurement of all types of red bricks the results of the study showed all the results of water absorption is not eligible sni. The highest density was obtained from a mixture of 2.5% ash corn cob material of 17.5 gr/Cm3. the best composition to produce bricks with strong compressive value and high density and have low water absorption is 2.5% addition of ash corn cob and the addition of 2.5% corn skin ash.
