The paper focuses on how building materials affect architecture form and ultimately is reflected in our academic design and daily life, how the development of construction materials in the history and at present influences the tectonic form, and whether it is feasible to introduce the element of construction materials into architectural appraisal.
The Architectural Form Innovation Through Modern Building Materials Understanding the history of the tectonic way of corresponding material, it will be much easier for us to understand the radical changes of architectural form since the industrial revolution: human beings uses more building materials freely, the higher performance of materials achieving is the decisive factor.
To reflect the mechanical properties of materials faithfully is just the essence of tectonic culture, the wood’s characteristics of high specific strength and easy processing is obviously .Tadao Ando, another master architect designed Japan Pavilion in Seville, Spain Expo which also reflects greatly the characteristics of the wood structure - high specific strength and wood tectonic does not require a large cross-section, instead of the small cross-section components intensive stack, which not only can get the same intensity of the large cross-section, but makes the structure more stability by scatting the nodes, and the inner the mechanism of tectonic that the ancient Chinese brackets was produced.
Because the simple requirements of the construction material for recycled is not so efficient as good as people thought it would be [5] For materials, to judge energy-saving or not, we should not only pay attention to the impact of the physical properties of the building, not even a single included in the energy production process, but to consider their life-cycle energy consumption, that is, the value of recycled.
Kenneth said, CCTV building, whether from the construction of honest or in the view of logical in project, reaches the perverse extent… it is not necessarily to create a compelling image so indiscriminate and irrational in the use of the material It may be the helpless cries of the architect adhere to the ideal of tectonic when the building materials are difficult to breakthrough nowadays, however, it is no doubt that the advances in building materials will affect our architectural forms, even the content.

The third phase, TRL (or residual life stage), starts from the time of external visual degradation (cracks < 0.1 mm wide) until a degradation level is such that the design load factors (e.g., for ACI318 Standard, 1.2 and 1.6 for dead and live loads, respectively) equals unity, before structural collapse.
Table 3 presents the physical properties from the concrete mixtures used, mainly concrete capillary properties (effective porosity (ε), the coefficient of capillary absorption (ka), the resistance to water penetration (m)), compressive strength, and cement content.
Concrete mixture physical properties (mean average from three specimens).
Due to the different properties from both concrete mixtures, it is expected a faster carbonation for the 0.65 w/c ratio mixture, as well as a higher corrosion rate in the future when rebar start to depassivate.
So, this variable may be affecting the potentiality analysis performed (see Table 2).

Textile properties are given in Table 1.
For the determination of these mechanical properties, mortar prisms were taken from the same batch used for the TRM overlays’ construction and were cured next to the shear bond specimens under the same conditions.

As a semiconductor type metal oxide group, TiO2 has strong and stable catalytic properties.
Equation (1) becomes: dαdt = Aβ еxp -EαRT(1-α)n (3) where T is the Kelvin temperature, R is the gas constant (0.008314 kJ/mol K), Ea is the activation energy (kJ/mol), and A is the pre-exponential factor (min-1).
Changes in Ea and A revealed that the addition of metal oxide (TiO2) affected the arrangement of the bonds in the chemical structure of microalgae [10, 16].

It was a combination of factors that brought down the towers.
Their study revealed that the PEF performance of steel frames was affected by the lateral deformation caused by the seismic ground motion [1].
In order to consider the effects of damages to the structural elements during the earthquake, degradation of material mechanical properties and heat penetration due to cracks, were considered for the post-earthquake fire analysis [2].
Conclusions Multi-hazards have occurred in various structures frequently, result in life and property loss, and led to serious damage even complete collapse of structures.

It is during this period of time that it is necessary to evacuate tanks from the heat-affected zone or to begin cooling them.
Not taken into account a number of factors that are to a large item penalties can affect the time: - burning area;  - type of burning substance;   - distance from the tank to the burning site;  - direction and speed of the wind tilting the torch, etc. 
Advantages: used in laboratory studies of the properties of GFS (OP-301 sprayers).
These methods make it possible to obtain finely divided drops, which positively affects the gel formation on the protected surface.
The technology is implemented in standard firefighting equipment (PS-5 foam mixer); it is used for dosed addition of a foaming agent solution into water and for obtaining air-mechanical foam.

Dugarjav et al. [7] were focused on producing biochar products through pyrolysis process and established thermal energy quantification, though not yet defined production properties in level of molecular structure.
In other hand, characteristics, particularly, physicochemical properties of productions made from solid biomaterials can be dependent on individual pyrolysis reaction [10-12].
Moreover, many other factors such as combustion kinetics, kinetic rates of conversion processes, pyrolysis processing duration, elemental consistency of original materials could affect [10, 18-20] in effectiveness of the production and its further properties.
For example, at temperature range between 2000C and 3000C the torrefaction in which improvement of mechanical properties comes out [8].
