1. Length
2. Width
3. Height
4. Area
Ex: The door has an internal area of …… square metres.
Exercise 1: Make questions of dimension.(Ss work individually)
A room has 3 spatial dimensions: length, height and width. These dimensions are measured in
millimeters or metres .The volume of a room equals length times height times width. Volume
is measured in cubic metres(m

Exercise 1: Read these problems and complete the solutions: (Ss work in groups)
Problem
A family of 5 persons want to build a house. The floor area allowed for each person is 10
square metres. What is the floor area required?
Solution
There are people. The floor area allowed per person
Therefore,
Problem
An architect wants to build a concrete column to take a compressive force of 2000 newtons.
The maximum compressive stress allowed in the concrete is 5 N/mm
2
. What is the minimum
cross-sectional area of the column required?
Solution
The load on the column is The
allowed in the concrete is Therefore,
Problem
An architect wants to build a concrete wall with a volume of 10 cubic metres. The maximum
weight of the wall allowed is 22000 kilogrammes. What is the maximum density of concrete
required?

V. READING:
Exercise 1: Complete the maximum size of aggregate that should be used.(Ss work in groups)
Concrete is made from cement, coarse aggregate (stones), fine aggregate (sand or crushed
stone) and water. Coarse aggregate ranging from 5 mm to 40 mm may be used for normal
work. The maximum size of the aggregate should not be greater than one quarter of the
minimum thickness of the finished concrete. The normal maximum sizes are 20 mm and 40
mm (20 mm being more common. The maximum size of aggregate which should be use in
small concrete sections, or where reinforcement is close together, is 10 mm.
Exercise 2: Read the text and mark True or False (Ss work in groups)
