Advances in Building Construction Technology by Mohammad Arif Kamal Pdf

Building construction technology is concerned with the technical performance of buildings, building materials, and building construction systems. Technological progress has introduced many innovations in the field of construction industry. The building construction technology covers a wide range of modern techniques and practices that encompass the latest developments in materials technology and their applications, design procedures, quantity surveying, structural analysis and design, the functioning of components and systems, procedures and details of building assembly; operating strategies and so on. The adoption of advanced construction technology requires an appropriate design, commitment from the whole project team, suitable procurement strategies, good quality control, appropriate training and careful commissioning. There is a difference between new and old traditional construction methods. The use of machinery and automation has made its way through the civil engineering and construction industry. Most of the building components such as columns, roofs and concrete blocks are available as prefabricated forms that increase the speed of construction process greatly. In the rapidly changing scenario of building sector, architects, engineers and builders should search for new construction technologies to adopt in future constructions that benefits like energy efficiency, resources and water conservation, improved indoor air quality, life cycle cost reduction, durability and low maintenance. Therefore, to attain these objectives, application and knowledge of latest advancements in various technologies are of prime concern. This book 'Advances in Building Construction Technology' contains six chapters which introduces various scientific methods and state-of-the-art building constriction technologies and systems that may be beneficial to architects, engineers, building scientists and construction industry professionals.

Construction Technology 2: Industrial and Commercial Building by Mike Riley,Alison Cotgrave Pdf

Designed in a structured, directed format to help develop understanding, rather than just providing a simple source of information, this popular undergraduate textbook offers comprehensive coverage of industrial and commercial building technology. It builds on material in the first volume in the series Construction Technology 1: House Construction but it is also valuable as a standalone text. The most student-friendly textbook in the area, it uses a wealth of features to reinforce understanding and test knowledge, including case studies and comparative studies. Case studies include photographs and commentary on specific aspects of the technology of framed buildings, while comparative studies allow the reader to make a critical evaluation, comparing and contrasting design details and solutions. This textbook is aimed at undergraduates in Construction Management, Quantity Surveying and Building Surveying, and HNC/D students in the same areas. It is also ideal for associated Built Environment courses e.g. Land Management, Civil Engineering, where the basic technologies need to be understood. New to this Edition: - Thoroughly revised throughout - New material on sustainable construction incorporated as a key theme in each aspect of technology - A new chapter on building services installations - A new section of the highly topical subject of Building Information Modelling (BIM)

Robot Oriented Design by Thomas Bock,Thomas Linner Pdf

The Cambridge Handbooks on Construction Robotics series focuses on the implementation of automation and robot technology to renew the construction industry and to arrest its declining productivity. The series is intended to give professionals, researchers, lecturers, and students basic conceptual and technical skills and implementation strategies to manage, research, or teach the implementation of advanced automation and robot-technology-based processes and technologies in construction. Currently, the implementation of modern developments in product structures (modularity and design for manufacturing), organizational strategies (just in time, just in sequence, and pulling production), and informational aspects (computer-aided design/manufacturing or computer-integrated manufacturing) are lagging because of the lack of modern integrated machine technology in construction. The Cambridge Handbooks on Construction Robotics books discuss progress in robot systems theory and demonstrate their integration using real systematic applications and projections for off-site as well as on-site building production. Robot-Oriented Design and Management introduces the design, innovation, and management methodologies that are key to the realization and implementation of the advanced concepts and technologies presented in the subsequent volumes. This book describes the efficient deployment of advanced construction and building technology. It is concerned with the coadaptation of construction products, processes, organization, and management, and with automated/robotic technology, so that the implementation of modern technology becomes easier and more efficient. It is also concerned with technology and innovation management methodologies and the generation of life cycle-oriented views related to the use of advanced technologies in construction.
