Construction Automation




Construction automation helps to increase construction quality and reduces its time. Construction automation involves production of construction material, prefabrication of construction components, on site construction, operation and maintenance of buildings, and demolition and recycling of structures. If this technique is adopted, construction period will decrease and it will provide large economic advantages. In addition to that it will improve labour safety also.

Advantages of Construction Automation

Ø  It will provide more precise and consistent product compared to produce by experienced workers.

Ø  It is helpful in difficult physical work.

Ø  It helps in construction where the site is dangerous and life of labour is at risk at that time automation will solve the problem.

Ø  It simultaneously declines costs and increases efficiency and productivity.

Ø  Finally, it is worth mentioning that automated construction and robotics enhance work environment because workers will be distanced from uncomfortable work position.

This is used in construction sector, precast industry, prefabrication of masonry, timber construction, production of steel components etc. Also partial automation robotics is used in road construction, tunnelling and earthworks.

In Concrete precast component production, automation is required at very high scale and number of precast components is produced as per requirement. It is so useful that we can get consistent quality and wastes are avoided.

For onsite automation, several apparatuses which has been used for different purposes on project site for example concrete screeding, finishing, scrubbing and cleaning.

Automation in masonry construction play major role in terms of decrease manpower and labour cost.
Wood processing has shifted from manually processing to complete processing utilizing compute numerical controlling machines.

Automation and robotic have been used to a great extent by steel companies which prefabricate building components according to contractor demand. The steel components will be transferred to project site for erection. It should be said that automation and robotics are not used in erection process to a great extent; manual welding screwing is used during construction.

#VastuFor Home – Colours for Home

Image
Colours are playing an important part in the house. If we coloured each wall with same colour, it will end up looking bad therefore it is important to have a balance of colour in the entire house. Depending upon in which direction room is located best suitable colours have to decide. Each and every room in the house is different because every room has specific purpose. If we are using wrong colours at wrong places it will mess up. For master bedroom, it is advisable to use brown, blue and pink colours. Red is not advisable to use. Red colour will bring fights within the family, with neighbours. Whereas the blue and pink are masculine and feminine colours respectively and the brown colour gives stability. Use light green and light yellow colour for kid’s room that will help them to concentrate more on studies without wasting time. Avoid using dark blue colour in kid’s bedroom. For living room, use more of white colour.  You can use tinges of some other colours

Steam Curing of Concrete

Image
Steam curing of concrete is the method of curing the concrete elements in water vapour. This curing is performed either under atmospheric pressure or high-pressure steam. This method is used where there is a need for accelerated strength gain and the concrete requires additional heat to perform hydration. This is done in low temperature zone. This technique is used for gaining high early strength and this requires for the manufacture of precast and prestressed concrete units. Steam Curing can be performed by two methods: Ø   Steam Curing of Concrete at Atmospheric Pressure: The steam curing process is performed within a temperature range of 70 to 90F per hour which is merely dependent on the size and the shape of the concrete element. In this steam curing is done in an enclosed chamber in order to avoid any sort of heat loss and moisture. The properly hardened concrete is applied to the steam enclosure after a delay period of 3 hours. It is not exposed directly to

Control Joints in Concrete Slab

Image
Control joints are provided in a concrete slab to reduce cracks formed due to shrinkage. The specifications of the control joints such as the depth, timing and place of the cut play an important role in the efficiency of the control joint. The time when the concrete slab is saw-cut to make control joints is an important aspect for the efficient use of control joint. When the concrete is sawed with the help of blade before it has reached its initial setting time, the aggregates may strew out of the concrete slab and leave a messy, weakened edge along the joint. This effect is known as Ravelling. Sawing too late can result in uncontrolled cracking as the concrete contracts during curing. It is recommended to place the control joints in the centre of the slab dividing the concrete into equal segments. The spacing of the joints is in the range of 24 to 36 times the thickness of the concrete slab. The factors that determine the location of control joints are: Continui
