Construction and Design

Ad The dream to construct building flexibly for public and private habitation has been under way since 2004. The technology uses large 3D printers to construct/print buildings in remarkably lesser time than usually taken by the normal construction technique. The method has been successfully demonstrated by working versions of 3D printers that were able to print 2 m of building materials per hour. Later on a Chinese company WinSun built 10 one-room houses within 24 hrs at US $5,000 cost. Many Dutch and Chinese company has built houses successfully using 3D printers, but the New York City Architect and Contractor Adam Kushner is going to exceed them all. The owner of company D-Shape, Enrico Dini and Kushner are teaming up to construct/print first ever 3D printed estate featuring a 3D printed swimming pool, 4-bedroom, 2400 sq. feet home, and more. 3D printing of the entire estate in Gardiner, New York will be done by KUSHNER Studios . It has planned to work in 3 stages for construction...

Ad An engineer, a contractor or an owner seeks to precisely control over every element in construction process. Each year huge amount of money(billions of dollars) is wasted in construction projects due to inefficiency and inaccuracy. Time period of any construction project is directly linked to it's total cost of construction, which is determined by the level of technologies we use in civil engineering construction. So, there is only way to reduce such redundant expenditure is use of advance technology, that helps communication to keep transparent between involved ones, eliminating unnecessary delays caused by failure of co-ordination between contractors. One may wonder how GOOGLE GLASSES will help construction, similar to apps we use in our smartphones, we will be able to use apps built for it and with aid of apps integrated with GPS , GIS , ERDAS , CAD and other, imagine what and how fast a professional can extract information and conclusions out. Procore is ready to build s...

Ad Every aspects of life is changing rapidly with advancement in technology, transfiguring the whole environment into more efficient and intelligent one. Now it's time for our Highways. In future we  civil engineers are going to use  solar materials  for highway construction that will be monitored and managed using real time monitoring artificially intelligent systems( Structural Health Monitoring Systems ) which will be capable of communicating with everything on the track. The network of communication will be set up among cars and highway components with GPS systems. It is anticipated that rapid urbanisation, climate change, changes in human behaviour and resource depletion would be major consequences of such giant step towards AI implementation in highway sector. The main aim is to generate clean and renewable power using solar panels on road surfaces. Vehicles will be able to receive energy wirelessly, either in rest or motion. For cold regions the panels will...

Ad Introduction :- Australia's Queensland State Government in 2006 established a design brief on a pedestrian bridge with low budget hardly possible in state capital, Brisbane to establish link with Queensland Gallery of Modern Art  (GoMA). Baulderstone (contractor), Arup (engineer) and Cox Rayner (architect) won the design competition with a design, fusion of art and science having array of masts, cables and flying steel spars well suited with locality, structurally efficient and completely original. More on “tensegrity”. Key statistics Ø   Bridge deck 430m long x 6.5m clear width between handrails Ø   500m 3  of concrete and 500 tonnes of steel Ø   Nearly 7km of high strength steel cables Why “tensegrity” Bridge? All the possible solution in front of the team and why there were discarded is shown below:- Restrictions :- Clearance and remote access.

Abstract: Typically structure is suited design erected with components such as  roofs,  slabs,  beams, columns and foundation. These structures damage due to exposure conditions like temperature, ill-management during construction and lack of quality of control during construction. Damage to structure may be defined as changes to the material or geometric properties of a structural system, including changes to the boundary conditions and system connectivity, which can adversely affect the system’s performance. In SHM process we observe system over time with the help of periodically sampled dynamic response measurements from an array of sensors, then extract damage-sensitive features, and finally statistical analysis is done to determine the current state of system health. After extreme events, such as earthquakes or blast loading, SHM is used for rapid condition screening and aims to provide, in near real time, reliable information regarding the integrity of the structure...
