    Concrete:

    Concrete is widely used material in construction using cement, water and fine aggregate(sand) or
    coarse aggregate(limestone), chemical admixtures can be added for durability or design etc.
    Concrete makes long lasting building structure without rust, rot or burn. Process of making one
    ton of concrete produces one ton of carbon dioxide, it also reduces supply of limestone. In the
    future, concrete’s lifespan will end due to no usage of it, rather than concrete itself failing because
    of age. Concrete can block natural water infiltration into soil, causing pollution, erosion etc.

    Steel:
    Steel is made from processed iron ore, coke and limestone. Once it is made, it can be used forever
    and recycled countless times. Steel can only be used , not consumed. During recycling process,
    steel do not downgrade. But, maintenance costs high, and resistance against fire is relatively low
    compared to concrete, yet it cannot be mold into any shape you want. Under high pressure, steel
    bends instead of breaking brittle

    Aluminium:
    Aluminium is light, high strength and most sustainable material. It is highly resistant against
    corrosion and rust. Also, aluminium is highly sustainable, when recycled, none of the physical
    properties are lost and it uses only 5% of the energy to make new primary aluminium. Flexibility
    of this material gives countless design options. But, strength of it is less than steel and loses its
    flexibility on bolt circles.

    Brick：
    There are many different types of bricks. The fired bricks are one of the longest-lasting and
    strongest building materials. A slightly larger brick requires less mortar and handling (fewer
    bricks), which reduces cost. The weight of the brick is very light, and it is in line with the
    architectural style of the University of Liverpool. Brick has a good future of sustainable
    development. If it needs to be replaced, brick has many other uses, such as laying roads, making
    simple models, etc.
    Glass:
    Glass has a long service life LED photoelectric glass is a new type of environmental protection
    and energy-saving product. It is a combination of LED and glass. It has both glass permeability
    and LED brightness. The wind resistance and strength of tempered glass are higher than ordinary
    glass. Glass is a kind of reusable material, which can be used in other places. In particular, when
    LED photoelectric glass needs to be replaced, it can be taken down and reused as a billboard.
    Timber:
    Wood is a good material for laying the surface of the bridge, and has a strong ability of sustainable
    development, very environmental protection, can be recycled many times. The only disadvantage
    of wood is that its fire resistance is not very high.
