Question

drag the tiles to the correct boxes to complete the pairs.
match the structural materials to their distinctive properties or uses.
pairs
high tensile strength, can be pre - fabricated, but is prone to corrosion

durable, abundantly available, and reusable if used with lime mortar

organic material that can undergo biotic decay

durable, can be sculpted into artistic designs, requires a skilled workforce

water - to - cement ratio is crucial, reinforced steel increases its tensile force

seal joints and openings in architectural structures

tiles
wood concrete stone joint sealants brick steel

Explanation:

1. For "high tensile strength, can be pre - fabricated, but is prone to corrosion": Steel has high tensile strength, can be pre - fabricated, and is prone to corrosion (rusting). So this pairs with steel.
2. For "durable, abundantly available, and reusable if used with lime mortar": Brick is durable, widely available, and can be reused with lime mortar. So this pairs with brick.
3. For "organic material that can undergo biotic decay": Wood is an organic material and is subject to decay by organisms. So this pairs with wood.
4. For "durable, can be sculpted into artistic designs, requires a skilled workforce": Stone is durable, can be sculpted into art, and needs skilled workers. So this pairs with stone.
5. For "water - to - cement ratio is crucial, reinforced steel increases its tensile force": Concrete's strength depends on the water - cement ratio, and reinforced steel boosts its tensile strength. So this pairs with concrete.
6. For "seal joints and openings in architectural structures": Joint sealants are used to seal joints and openings. So this pairs with joint sealants.

Answer:

• high tensile strength, can be pre - fabricated, but is prone to corrosion → steel
• durable, abundantly available, and reusable if used with lime mortar → brick
• organic material that can undergo biotic decay → wood
• durable, can be sculpted into artistic designs, requires a skilled workforce → stone
• water - to - cement ratio is crucial, reinforced steel increases its tensile force → concrete
• seal joints and openings in architectural structures → joint sealants
