  • Innovation in Construction Technology
    GRD Journals | Global Research and Development Journal for Engineering | Recent Advances in Civil Engineering for Global Sustainability | March 2016 e-ISSN: 2455-5703 Innovation in Construction Technology 1Vivek Mishra 2Nidhi Gandhi 3Parth Desani 4Darshan Mehta 1,2,3U.G Student 4Assistant Professor 1,2,3,4Department of Civil Engineering 1,2,3,4SSASIT, Surat, Gujarat, India Abstract The innovations originated in more than 20 countries, and cover all facets of construction, including design, fabrication, construction, rehabilitation, labor, management, equipment, and materials. From simple tools to complex systems, innovation makes construction of higher quality that is less expensive, safer, more beautiful, less environmentally intrusive, and better understood and accepted. It helps preserve and renew the old and makes the new more enduring, it provides much of the spirit and challenges that excites and rives the great industry. One of the major issues to be addressed when coming to construction is the choice of the appropriate material. An already, classical implementation of the field techniques, widely used for construction is Cement, Steel, Glass, Wood etc are the main components of any construction now a days. In recent years, several emerging high strength materials have attracted enormous attention as potential candidates for construction. High strength steels has been used as main part of building for more than 40 years because of its manufacturability and ability to deliver continued tensile improvements as it has been made ever stronger. The innovations in construction here are such that they have helped us improve quality, efficiency and cost effectiveness of construction.

  • High-Rise Towers: an Integrated Approach Between Climbing Formworks and Stationary Booms
    High-Rise Towers: an Integrated Approach between Climbing Formworks and Stationary Booms Ciribini, A.L.C. DICATA, Università degli Studi di Brescia (email: [email protected]) Tramajoni, M. Peri Italia (email: [email protected]) Abstract The Research aims to investigate how a Construction Management System dealing with the erection of the High-rise Towers could be enhanced. Furthermore, such an effective and proactive Management System purports that the integration between the climbing concrete forming machines and the concrete pumping, pouring and placing devices must be achieved. First of all, the methodology adopted by the Research Unit required to perform a comparative analysis, in close co- operation with the Leading World Manufacturers, through the investigation of the most effective managerial and technical available options. Furthermore, the investigation performed by the Research Unit took into account some meaningful case-studies (located in Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland). The main conclusion lies with the need for distinguishing amongst different kinds of High-rise Tower (depending on its heights and shapes) and the preferred models of Site Management to be followed. Keywords: high-rise towers, site management, formworks, concrete pumping system. 1 1. The formwork and steel fixing systems In Italy, the poor performances and the lack of managerial skills affecting the construction sites are due to an absence of the co-operation amongst the various Players (Client Organizations, Main Contractors, Sub-Contractors, and Suppliers). Indeed, quite often it happens that a Public or Private Client Awarding Organization seems to neglect the Site Management-oriented topics. Likewise, the Main Contractor does not want to be really involved into the Site Management-related solutions, preferring to leave the choice of the preferred formwork, steel fixing and pumping systems to its first- tier Sub-Contractors.

  • An Improvement of a Hydraulic Self-Climbing Formwork
    ARCHIVEOFMECHANICALENGINEERING Volume 66 2019 Number 4 DOI: 10.24425/ame.2019.131419 Key words: climbing formwork, self-climbing formwork, hydraulic self-climbing formwork Van Tinh Nguyen,1 Kiem Anh Nguyen,1 Van Linh Nguyen2 An improvement of a hydraulic self-climbing formwork Nowadays, self-climbing formworks are commonly used in the construction of concrete buildings with a great height, such as high-rise buildings, silos, and bridge piers. A regular formwork can be improved to have more functions, e.g., the formwork itself can climb to the desired construction site. Climbing characteristics of the form- work as well as opening and closing characteristics of the formwork shell are essential criteria for evaluating the performance of a self-climbing formwork. The effective ones were mentioned in different studies, where most of them were published in patents of countries, e.g., the United States and China. Dissimilar from these studies, this paper presents several improvements for some certain groups to enhance the features of a hydraulic self-climbing formwork. Based on the analysis of the composition and the working principle of the actual climbing formwork types, a new opening and closing method of the formwork shells and a new rail clamping device are suggested. They are applied to design a self-climbing formwork with the shell’s working size of 4 m × 3 m. Their load capacity, as well as the flatness of the concrete surface after casting, are assessed. The proposed solutions can result in various advantages, e.g., the shorter initial alignment time, the increase of the quality concrete surface, and the maximal automation for construction operations.

  • Concrete in an AM Process to the Requirements That Have to Be Set Regarding a Matching Fresh Concrete Mixture
    This report examines the additive manufacturing (AM) of concrete, its possibilities, feasibility and advantages over existing techniques. The possibilities for products made with an additive process are endless, but just replacing existing production methods with additive ones is still impossible. Although improved freeform production techniques are the aim of this research, this does not mean that more freedom in form is by definition the largest improvement that AM can offer at the moment. From another point of view the implementation of additional functions in traditional products can be of great value. A roadmap envisions how the technique has to evolve in order to implement the characteristic properties of concrete. Product ideas and an evaluation of the techniques shown in the roadmap are related to the developments to achieve an increase in speed, surface quality and strength in the AM production technique, next Dennis de Witte | Concrete in an AM process to the requirements that have to be set regarding a matching fresh concrete mixture.

  • Section 602-1 of This Manual
    STRUCTURES April 2006 601 CONCRETE STRUCTURES 601-1 Description A structure is an arrangement of materials that sustains loads. Loads can be the weight of an automobile, the force of the wind, or the pressure of soil and water. A structure must withstand loads without collapsing or deflecting excessively. A safe structure is one that can carry its intended loads without the risk of injury to the people using the structure. Structures can be made up of different materials. For example, bridges can be built out of timber, steel or concrete. Sometimes these materials are combined to form composite structures where two or more materials share the loading. The structures that ADOT builds are made primarily of structural steel or structural concrete. Structural steel is a group of ASTM designated steels with material properties that are specifically intended for structural applications such as buildings and bridges. Structural steel is very different from the steel found in automobiles, washing machines, and hand tools. Structural steel is of higher grade, designed to have high strength, and stretches (or yields) just before failure as a warning to those in or near the structure. Structural concrete is a composite material consisting of concrete and steel. It must meet higher standards of quality than concrete found in sidewalks or driveways. Like structural steel, it is designed to have a high strength and yield before failure. Types of Structural Concrete Structural concrete can be divided into two types: reinforced concrete and prestressed concrete. Reinforced concrete consists of concrete and reinforcing steel. Concrete is strong in compression and weak in tension.
