LATEST INNOVATIONS IN CIVIL CONSTRUCTION

                                                                               

                                                                     Innovation may plays important role in construction making building faster & sustainable. Now-a-days new innovations are based on time, quality, quantity, safety and etc...are the main path of the projects. Today's highway's, bridge's & infrastructure is highly challenges to increasingly in complex world. A world with more people, more vehicle & less space. And also world rising the temperature due to pollution & increasingly unpredictable weather conditions. And a world where safety, sustainability & energy efficiency.  For Civil engineers & architects takes high challenges to new innovations in construction.

Follow are the some latest innovation in civil construction :

⇨ Thermal Bridging.

⇨ Building Integrated Photovoltaic Glaze (BIPV)

⇨ Kinetic footfall.

⇨ Modular construction.

⇨ Internet of things.


THERMAL BRIDGING :

                                             A Thermal bridging also called as cool bridge, thermal bypass , heat bridge in an area or component of an object which has higher thermal conductivity. Thermal bridging is the movement of heat across an object that is more conductive than the materials around it. The Thermal bridging is typically where there is either a break in the insulation less insulation or the insulation is penetrated by ab element with a high thermal conductivity. Thermal bridging generally occur when there is break in  or  penetration of the building envelope.

Thermal bridges can also caused by :

                                       ➤ The junctions between the wall and floors & roof.

                                       ➤ Holes in the buildings envelope for pipes and cables.

                                       ➤ Windows and doors reveals.

                                       ➤ Steel wall ties used in masonry construction.

Benefits of Thermal bridging :

                                      Reducing and limiting thermal bridging in buildings.

                                     ➤ It will typically reduce energy needs for the building.


BUILDING INTEGRATED PHOTOVOLTAIC GLAZE [BIPV] :

                                       A Building integrated Photovoltaic glazing is a system which helps the building to generate their own electricity. By transforming the whole into a solar panel. Photovoltaic glazing system not only produce electricity they also part of the building. The main aim of this system is to increase energy efficiency to meet building's energy demand. Different types of building integrated Photovoltaic glazing systems are available in markets. They are into two categories.

                      ➤  Facade system : Includes curtain wall products spandrel panels.

                      Roof system : Includes tiles shingles and skylights.

Benefits of BIPV :

                      ➤ Improves the aesthetic appearance of the building.

                      ➤ Save money in energy bills.

                      ➤ Maintenance is easy.

                      ➤ Cost is reasonable.

                      ➤ Eco-friendly.


KINETIC FOOTFALL :

                                       A Kinetic footfall is a sustainable energy source for generating electricity without consuming any natural resources. Kinetic footfall method is to generate efficient electrical energy by using complex properties of materials & human movements.

Effects of Kinetic footfall :

                          ➤ Energy informative include the expense of harnessing.

                          ➤ The challenge of keeping the movement constant.

Benefits of Kinetic footfall :

                      ➤ Generate no hazardous waste because most of the materials can be recycled.

                     ➤ Collection and storage of energy are simple and easy.

                     ➤ Very durable

                     ➤ Easy to adapt in any location.

                     ➤ No pollution.


MODULAR CONSTRUCTION : 

            A Modular Construction is a process in which a building is constructed off-site under controlled plant conditions. Modular building is a prefabricated building that consist of repeated sections called modular. Modular construction term used to describe the use of factory-produced pre-engineered building units that are site & assemble of structure.

Benefits of Modular Construction :

                                      ➤Saves Time.

                                      ➤No Possibility of Weather Delay.

                                      ➤No Need to Store Materials.

                                      ➤Low Labor Costs.

                                      ➤Low Volume of Waste.

Challenges of Modular Construction :

                                          ➤Mass production.

                                          ➤Higher Amount of Complex Decision.

                                          ➤Risk is on Few Suppliers.

                                          ➤Transportation Costs.


INTERNET OF THINGS :

                           Internet of things devices for construction are able to collect certain kinds of data about activity or performance are held in construction site. Here are just some of the ways that the technology are used to improve work & improve resource etc....

Benefits of Internet of things :

                               ➤ Reducing project costs.

                               ➤ Improving employee safety.

                               ➤ Improved waste management efficiency.

                               ➤ Predictive maintenance.

Disadvantages of Internet of things :

                                 ➤ Privacy issues.

                                 ➤ Data security issues.

CONSULUSION :

                                By Innovation may plays important role in construction. Now-a-days new innovations are based on time, quality, quantity, safety and etc...are the main path of the projects. And  changes the construction technology & save time ,cost and etc.....
