PROJECT PLANNING AND CONSTRUCTION USING ROBOTICS AND AUGMENTED REALITY
Abstract: The construction industry is based on human resources, specifically for on-site construction processes. The conventional construction practices require an absolute amount of workforce and skilled labour to achieve the aimed efficiency in terms of construction duration and cost, and building quality. Besides, lack of workforce and sufficiently skilled labour can affect the overall duration, cost, and quality targets. Therefore, based on these issues, advanced robotic technologies have been developed to …

Internal and External Factors Impacting Construction Labour Productivity for Glazing of Doors and Windows
Abstract: The efficiency of glazing installation during building construction is impacted by internal and external factors, which affect labour productivity. External factors are exogenous to the construction sites but have an overarching influence on the productivity of site operations, while internal factors emanate from the construction firms and their site operations. This study examines the internal and external factors impacting construction labour productivity for the glazing of doors and windows, using …

EFFECT OF RE-ENTRANT CORNER IRREGULARITY IN A STRUCTURE
Abstract: AbstractIrregularities are not avoidable in construction of a building. Building Structures are almost irregular, as ideal perfect regularity very rarely occurs now days. As far as buildings structures are concerned , for practical use , Indian seismic code divides irregularity in structure which are in plan irregularity and in elevation irregularity, but it had been found and realized that irregularity in structures is the result of a combination of both …

Experimental Study on Effectiveness of TMD in Reducing Torsional Motion under Harmonic Base Motion
Abstract: AbstractAsymmetry in the building could arise due to unsymmetrical distribution of mass, stiffness, damping and/or strength characteristics. The earthquake response of asymmetric buildings is characterized by coupling between translational and rotational degrees of freedom (dofs). This paper includes an experimental analysis of one storied asymmetrical building frame subjected to harmonic motion with and without tuned mass damper (TMD). Experimentation is done on a shake table and readings were recorded. The …

Analytical influence of soil-structure-interaction on structural performance by using ETABS
Abstract: Soil conditions have a great deal to do with damage to structures during earthquakes. Hence the study on the energy transfer mechanism from soils to buildings during earthquakes is critical for the seismic design of multi-story buildings and for upgrading existing structures. Thus, the need for research into soil–structure interaction (SSI) problems is greater than ever. Moreover, recent studies show that the effects of SSI may be detrimental to the …
