Building Materials And Construction - steel interiorsDeepthi Deepu
This document discusses the use of steel and stainless steel in building construction. It provides details on:
- Steel is commonly used as the structural skeleton of buildings to hold everything up and together. Stainless steel is an alloy of iron and chromium that is corrosion resistant and attractive.
- Stainless steel has various properties including malleability, ductility, elasticity, hardness, and conductivity that make it useful for building interiors.
- Examples of interior uses of steel include ceilings, walls, kitchen interiors, flooring, furniture, staircases, and fireplaces. Various finishes can be applied to stainless steel like brushed, polished, patterned, and decorative finishes.
The document provides an introduction to advanced building materials. It discusses how materials are becoming more intelligent, interactive and responsive. It then classifies advanced building materials into intelligent materials that can sense and respond on their own, and interactive materials that require external commands to function. The document lists several material trends and properties of advanced materials, and outlines the aims and scope of studying these materials for sustainable construction. It provides examples of specific advanced materials like aerogel, lotusan paint and others, describing their composition, characteristics and applications.
Many building materials are used for construction and different methods are followed. Each of these building materials has a unique embodied energy. Out of these materials, Roofing material constitute one of the major energy consuming components of the building. Effective utilization of available energy and its conservation is global challenge. For a developing country like India, the increasing demand of energy has created a scope for the study embodied energy of alternative roofing technique and their advantages for the sustainable building construction. The total embodied energy of a building can be reduced significantly by using alternate roofing technique such as RCC Filler slab which has lower embodied energy value.
Filler slab technology is a simple and a very innovative technology for a slab construction. The filler slab is based on the principle that for roofs which are simply supported, the upper part of the slab is subjected to compressive forces and the lower part of the slab experience tensile forces. Concrete is very good in withstanding compressive forces and steel bears the load due to tensile forces. Thus the lower tensile region of the slab does not need any concrete except for holding the steel reinforcements together. Hence concrete in the bottom region of solid RCC slab is replaced by an energy efficient and cost effective material. With reduced consumption of building material for roofing, the cost of the building can be reduced predominantly.
The document describes an alternative village housing concept that provides dignity to people. Each village contains 24 semi-detached houses sharing communal amenities including ablutions, laundry, recycling, and gardens powered by solar energy. The village aims to provide permanent housing through off-grid and sustainable infrastructure like solar power, hot water, grey water harvesting and organic food gardens. The goal is to develop rural housing that does not financially burden poor rural communities.
reuse and recycle of construction materialRakesh Rahar
This document discusses construction waste recycling. It notes that construction generates a significant amount of waste and that recycling can reduce environmental impacts. It identifies several materials commonly recovered from construction sites, such as asphalt, wood, gypsum wallboard, metals, concrete, brick, and roofing. Recycling these materials provides benefits like reducing pollution, conserving landfill space and resources, and creating jobs. However, barriers to recycling include a lack of facilities, technologies, awareness, and proper waste separation at job sites. The document advocates developing markets for recycled products, education and training, and policies to promote greater recycling in the construction industry.
The document discusses the environmental impacts of the construction industry and proposes more sustainable alternatives. It notes that the construction industry accounts for significant global resource use and pollution. Specifically:
- It uses over one-sixth of global freshwater withdrawals and one-quarter of wood harvest. Cement production alone contributes 5% of man-made CO2 emissions.
- Construction and demolition waste makes up 10-40% of solid waste in most countries.
- Many building materials emit VOCs that contribute to greenhouse gases and global warming.
To address these issues, the document recommends more sustainable materials like hollow interlocking compressed stabilized earth blocks, which use local soil and less energy and resources compared to conventional bricks. These

5. construction equipment Building ConstructionHamdija Velagic
The document discusses various types of construction equipment used on building sites, including earthmoving equipment like excavators and bulldozers, construction vehicles like dump trucks and trailers, material handling equipment like cranes and forklifts, and other equipment like concrete mixers and compactors. It provides details on the purpose and function of each type of equipment, with examples of specific models within each category. The goal is to classify the wide variety of machines commonly found on construction sites based on their application and use.
The document proposes several low-cost construction techniques to reduce costs compared to conventional construction methods. These include using thinner foundations with rubble masonry, reducing wall thicknesses, employing rat-trap bond for walls, using concrete blocks or soil-cement blocks instead of burnt bricks, and utilizing precast components and alternative materials for doors, windows and shutters. Adopting these techniques could achieve an overall cost savings of 15-25% compared to conventional construction.
The document summarizes Charles Correa's incremental housing project in CBD Belapur, India. It describes the project's low-cost housing typologies designed around communal courtyards. Housing was organized into clusters of 7-12 pairs of freestanding homes arranged around shared spaces. This allowed residents to independently modify their own homes over time. While many original structures have been replaced, the hierarchy of community spaces remains intact decades later. The project demonstrated high-density affordable housing built at a human scale with simple materials. However, maintaining common spaces and adapting to changing aspirations have presented challenges over time.
The document discusses various cost-effective construction techniques that can be used in India to reduce building costs. Some techniques mentioned include using stabilized compressed earth blocks, fly ash bricks, rat-trap bond brickwork, filler slabs for roofs, and replacing concrete lintels with brick arches. Adopting these alternative materials and construction methods can save 15-40% on building costs while still providing durable structures. Proper selection of materials suited to the local area is important for developing cost-effective construction techniques.
Green building is the practice of increasing building efficiency and reducing environmental impacts. It involves using renewable materials, efficient technologies, and water and energy conservation practices. Some benefits are lower costs, improved indoor air quality, energy efficiency, and healthier lifestyles. While initial costs may be higher, there are long-term savings. In India, various agencies promote green building standards and top cities have implemented policies and codes to encourage more sustainable construction.

Observability Concepts EVERY Developer Should Know -- DeveloperWeek Europe.pdfPaige Cruz
Monitoring and observability aren’t traditionally found in software curriculums and many of us cobble this knowledge together from whatever vendor or ecosystem we were first introduced to and whatever is a part of your current company’s observability stack.
While the dev and ops silo continues to crumble….many organizations still relegate monitoring & observability as the purview of ops, infra and SRE teams. This is a mistake - achieving a highly observable system requires collaboration up and down the stack.

A lot depends on the initial seeds, which can significantly dictate the trajectory of a fuzzing campaign, particularly in terms of how long it takes to uncover interesting behaviour in your code. We introduce DIAR, a technique designed to speedup fuzzing campaigns by pinpointing and eliminating those uninteresting bytes in the seeds. Picture this: instead of wasting valuable resources on meaningless mutations in large, bloated seeds, DIAR removes the unnecessary bytes, streamlining the entire process.
In this work, we equipped AFL, a popular fuzzer, with DIAR and examined two critical Linux libraries -- Libxml's xmllint, a tool for parsing xml documents, and Binutil's readelf, an essential debugging and security analysis command-line tool used to display detailed information about ELF (Executable and Linkable Format). Our preliminary results show that AFL+DIAR does not only discover new paths more quickly but also achieves higher coverage overall. This work thus showcases how starting with lean and optimized seeds can lead to faster, more comprehensive fuzzing campaigns -- and DIAR helps you find such seeds.
