Unit Weight of Different Building Construction Materials

Unit weight is also known as specific gravity. Unit weight is the weight of the material per unit volume. As we know, volume is quantified in terms of liters or m3 and weight is measured in terms of Kg or KN. 

The unit weight of different construction materials is the weight of the material / unit volume, which means that the unit weight is expressed in Kg / L or KG / m3 or KN / m3. For ease of reference, we organize all unit weights of building materials in a List. 

This list is a collective effort.
