This document discusses promoting best practices in construction and reducing adverse effects of poor materials and workmanship. It summarizes Lafarge WAPCO Nigeria's operations and investments to support Nigeria's development. Several examples of poor construction practices are described, including incorrect steel placement, inadequate reinforcement cover, poorly made joints, grout leakage, poor compaction, and concrete segregation. Best practices for correcting building collapses include stringent penalties, proper monitoring and oversight, continuing education, licensing contractors and workers, and public awareness campaigns. Lafarge WAPCO Nigeria offers various cement products with consistent quality, availability, and properties suited for different applications and conditions.

This is the report made by Chaitanya Shimpi on Construction Technologies in 2018. Construction technology means the study of the methods and equipment used to build structures. Students who are introduced to the field are taught skills in engineering and construction, as well as in business and construction management.
This presentation gives a descriptive and detailed overview of the construction industry in Burkina Faso. It shows the importance and limitations of the systems. It also gives an idea on the situation of the construction industry.
The study has been meticulously conducted supported by online references, library documents and interviews with local construction experts, architects and engineers.
Modern construction technology (MCT) is a collective term used to describe a number of construction methods. These methods differ from so-called conventional construction methods such as brick and block.

Due to this you need to choose them carefully carrying into consideration the effect needs, the general funds, and the availability. Investment casting, which is often referred to as lost-wax casting, is a manufacturing technique that enables the vision of intricate and complex components.
it is important that construction is planned well with the help of certified architects and engineers after due diligence from concerned authorities to ensure that the resultant workplace or residence is safe to operate from or reside in.
Demolition, Deconstruction & Dismantling Emma Attwood
Construction works in London particularly are progressing on a scale not seen for many years for clients like Crossrail and London Underground, and for commercial and residential property developments such as Bloomberg Place, New Street Square, BBC TV Centre and Battersea Power Station.
A common factor in the majority of these projects is the advanced demolition, deconstruction or dismantling of existing structures to make way for the new works.
In this lecture Paul Bland, McGee Director and Nick Taylor, Head of Demolition, gave an overview of this discipline and discussed areas such as the considerations needed when planning such work, design aspects of new structures that can assist in later deconstruction, modern techniques that improve safety and reduce risk, and the logistical challenges involved.
The meeting – organised by the Essex Branch of the Institution of Civil Engineers and held jointly with the Institution of Structural Engineers – drew a crowd of nearly 50 attendees to the Lord Ashcroft Building at Anglia Ruskin University in Chelmsford on Thursday 15th January 2015.

India is one of the highly populated countries of the world. It ranks the second in population next to China. Besides this, major section of the people live below poverty line. Due to over population, poverty, high land value & house deficit, major cities like Delhi & Mumbai are covered by slums. These slums not only make our country aesthetically bad but also the people living in such slums are deprived from basic facilities like proper sanitation, health care, and proper housing. The provision of affordable housing for these poor people needs to be facilitated by certain provisions. This can be possible only by introducing such technologies and materials that can be beneficial for building low-cost houses. Researchers worldwide have made significant efforts to find sustainable and affordable technologies to arrest the situation. Appropriate solution for affordable housing will vary from one location to another. Some general rules, however, apply to construction methods and housing systems. This project aims for developing a technology called dry stacking or mortar less buildings made from interlocking blocks. Mortarless brick construction, usually employing interlocking bricks, is growing in popularity round the world, indicative of acceptability. Mortarless techniques demonstrate the following advantages: increase of construction productivity, reduction in construction duration and labor and reduced construction cost. Because of its technological simplicity and local resource dependence, mortarless-block construction is more appropriate to many local communities than conventional mortared-brick techniques.

adverse effects of substandard materials & poor labour
workmanship

4. Building Collapse & construction root cause
…….Poor construction methods and workmanship is responsible for failures
of building and structures
The poor construction methods is due and workmanship is caused
Negligence
Poor and inadequate quality control at construction site
The poor construction practice is manifested in various forms:
Poor
construction
Incorrectly
made
construction
joints
Incorrect steel
placement
Inadequate
reinforcement
cover
Grout leakage
Poor
compaction
Segregation
Poor curing
Inadequate
reinforcement
cover
5. Incorrect Steel Placement
Can result into inadequate
cover
Corrosion of reinforcement
If bars are wrongly placed
collapse may occur
7. Incorrectly made construction joint
• Main faults in joints are due to poor construction & compactment
• Old concrete should be washed, a layer of new concrete laid before
pouring is continued
Good Construction joints should allow for expansion
8. Grout leakage
This occurs where
formwork do not fit
together
This results in a
porous area of
concrete with little
or no cement
All joints should be
properly sealed
11. Correcting building collapse through best practices
Stringent penalties should be applied for those responsible for collapse of buildings, particularly
when loss of lives is involved.
Town Planning Authorities should be adequately staffed and equipped with professionals in the
construction industry. For effective monitoring of projects during and after construction.
Continuing professional development should be emphasized by both the professional bodies and
the government on modern trends in the building industry. To keep members of the building
industry abreast with new trends in construction.
Government should provide an enabling law for the training, and effective control of artisans and
craftsmen in the building industry.
Government should screen those getting involved in housing projects. For any structure more than
a bungalow, a structural engineer must be involved.
Construction work should only be carried out by registered contractors and supervised by
registered architects, engineers and builders rather than engaging unskilled contractors.
A regular audit of defective structures must be carried out and such structures marked for
demolition should be demolished before it causes havoc on lives and properties.
Government at all levels should intensify public enlightenment, placing emphasis on how building
disasters could be prevented rather than managing situations which might be costlier.
