Abstract:

AbstractAugmented bricklaying explores the manual construction of intricate brickwork through visual augmentation, and applies and validates the concept in a real-scale building project—a fair-faced brickwork facade for a winery in Greece. As shown in previous research, robotic systems have proven to be very suitable to achieve various differentiated brickwork designs with high efficiency but show certain limitations, for example, in regard to spatial freedom or the usage of mortar on site. Hence, this research aims to show that through the use of a craft-specific augmented reality system, the same geometric complexity and precision seen in robotic fabrication can be achieved with an augmented manual process. Towards this aim, a custom-built augmented reality system for in situ construction was established. This process allows bricklayers to not depend on physical templates, and it enables enhanced spatial freedom, preserving and capitalizing on the bricklayer’s craft of mortar handling. In extension to conventional holographic representations seen in current augmented reality fabrication processes that have limited context-awareness and insufficient geometric feedback capabilities, this system is based on an object-based visual–inertial tracking method to achieve dynamic optical guidance for bricklayers with real-time tracking and highly precise 3D registration features in on-site conditions. By integrating findings from the field of human–computer interfaces and human–machine communication, this research establishes, explores, and validates a human–computer interactive fabrication system, in which explicit machine operations and implicit craftsmanship knowledge are combined. In addition to the overall concept, the method of implementation, and the description of the project application, this paper also quantifies process parameters of the applied augmented reality assembly method concerning building accuracy and assembly speed. In the outlook, this paper aims to outline future directions and potential application areas of object-aware augmented reality systems and their implications for architecture and digital fabrication.

Abstract:

The trend of using modern technologies in the construction industry has been growing stronger recently, particularly in the fields of additive construction or robotic bricklaying. Therefore, specifically for the purpose of robotic bricklaying, we created a digital layout plan for robotic construction works. This article presents a universal methodology for creating a bricklaying plan for various variations of wall building systems. The method is based on the conversion of drawings from the BIM (Building Information Model) environment to the BREP (Boundary Representation) model through use of the IFC (Industry Foundation Classes) format, which simultaneously divides object models into layers and connects discontinuous wall axes by means of an orthogonal arrangement and inserting details into critical structural points. Among other aspects, the developed algorithm proposes the optimal placement of the robotic system inside objects under construction, in order to minimize the distance of the robot’s movement and to reduce its electricity consumption. Digital layout plans created in this way are expected to serve as a stepping stone for robotic bricklaying.

Abstract:

This review discusses new technologies in the construction industry, such as digitalization, automation, and robotization, which have an impact on improving sustainable construction in the digital transformation in the era of Industry 4.0. This review focuses specifically on the impact of robotic technology on the triad of sustainable construction: economy, environment, and society. Current trends in the construction industry related to common data environments (CDEs), building information modeling (BIM), construction robots (CRs), and bricklaying robots (BRs) are highlighted. Robotics technology used throughout the construction industry in a sustainable construction context is presented, including bricklaying, plastering, painting, welding, prefabrication, and material handling. New trends in robotics technology with respect to robotic bricklaying are presented, and the first mobile robotic bricklaying system (RBS) in Poland, which was designed, modeled, simulated, and built from scratch, is distinguished. The RBS was tested under laboratory conditions and verified on the construction site. Included are the main factors that make it impossible to spread robotic technology on construction sites, and furthermore, many solutions are proposed to problems associated with the robotic transformation. The discussed robotic technology is not limited only to a purely technical approach but takes into account challenges corresponding to the circular economy.

Abstract:

One of the major current environmental concerns is the excessive or inefficient consumption of non-renewable natural resources. The construction industry is one of the largest consumers of natural raw materials, playing an important role in the degradation of the environment. Recycling and reusing are concepts that can be effectively applied in the formulation of construction materials, especially mortars. In particular, calcareous quarry can replace, at least to some extent, the cement used in the composition of bricklaying mortars. The objective of this study was to prepare and characterize mortars containing calcareous quarry. The mortars were prepared using Portland CP II F – 32 cement, CH I hydrated lime, river sand and tap water. Different concentrations of residues, ranging from 5 to 30% were used to replace the cement. Mortars with volume ratio of 1:0.5:4.5, commonly used in bricklaying structural masonry, were evaluated. The water to cement ration was set to 1.45. The residue used was fully characterized to determine their specific mass, unitary mass, particle size distribution and morphology, and composition. The mortars were characterized both in their fresh and the results compared to those obtained from a residue-free composition. The results showed that the use of calcareous quarry partially replacing the cement did not significantly affect the performance of the mortars. Compositions containing up to 30% of calcareous quarry can be classified according to NBR 13281 (ABNT, 2005) as bricklaying mortars, and can be used by the construction industry.

Abstract:

The purpose of this study was to Explore the Employability Competencies in Construction Trades: A Comparative Analysis of Bricklaying/Block Laying and Concreting Graduates in Diverse Specializations in Gombe State, Nigeria. The study was guided by three research questions and three null hypotheses guided the study. The study's population comprised 85 respondents, including 21 administrators, 48 teachers, and 16 building supervisors, making sampling unnecessary due to the manageable size of the population. Data collection utilized a structured questionnaire titled "Perceived Employability Competencies Questionnaire (PECQ)," specifically designed by the researchers to align with the research questions. The questionnaire featured two sections, A and B, and underwent face validation by three experts in the Department of Technology Education at Modibbo Adama University, Yola, Adamawa State. The instrument demonstrated a high reliability coefficient of 0.83, determined through Cronbach Alpha. Data analysis for the research questions involved calculating mean and standard deviation, while ANOVA was employed to test null hypotheses at a 0.05 level of significance. Findings of the study revealed among others that 24 employability competencies in bricklaying/block laying possessed and required by Graduate Students of BBC trade. 15 employability competencies in concreting were possessed and required by Graduate Students of BBC trade. It is recommended that Students of BBC trade should be exposed to activities that involve bricklaying and block laying works so that the students can improve their competencies when performing blocklaying work. And administrators of Technical Colleges should ensure that materials for concrete practice are provided to ensure adequate skill acquisition during practical lessons.

Abstract:

Construction waste is a serious challenge that requires particular attention from construction managers to improve the performance of their projects and survive in a highly competitive market. Simulation modeling provides decision-makers with a controllable operating system and a more cost-effective environment which allows a better understanding of construction processes deficiencies. The current paper aims to assess waste in a bricklaying process using ARENA. Data used for simulation modelling were collected through field observations and video recording techniques. Using EasyFit, goodness-of-fit tests were performed to identify the best probabilistic density functions for each construction operation in the studied process. Simulation outputs show that non-value-added (NVA) activities dominate the bricklaying process with 85.2 % of the total cycle time. These results indicate a strong potential for optimizing the process under study by reducing these sources of waste especially regarding waiting time that holds the highest share of waste with 72.5 %.

Abstract:

Abstract Bricklaying has been one of the determinant technologies of the construction industry for several thousand years. Even in our modern times, it is one of the most commonly used fields of building construction technologies. There are several reasons, like the lack of human resources on the construction markets or the increasing demands on both reasonably short construction time and high construction quality, the combination of which leads to consideration of applying innovative, automated technologies in more and more fields. With the spread of these advanced techniques, changes and further development on the construction site can be predicted. One of these developing fields will be presumably the field of small, solid construction units, the innovation of which would result in changes regarding the elements and the technology too. In our research, automated bricklaying construction situations are modeled by applying a robotic arm equipped with a linear rail. Some new features are analyzed at the work of using automated systems. Namely, different brick wall construction methods are tested, measured, and analyzed to find optimal solutions for the cases of various sets of influencing factors, like element placement or palette arrangement.

Abstract:

This study presents an innovative solution for a mobile robotic unit intended for the construction industry, the task of which is to automate time-consuming and burdensome masonry work performed manually using bricklayers. A ZSM mobile robotic bricklaying system (ZSM in Polish Zrobotyzowany System Murarski) was designed and developed in a demonstration version. The mobile ZSM consists of an ABB six degrees-of-freedom (6 DoF) industrial robot with a replaceable hydraulic gripper, a Hinowa tracked undercarriage with a hydraulic unit, hydraulic lifting and leveling module, a brick warehouse, a brick belt feeder, a mortar applicator, a control cabinet, and a control panel. Simulation tests were performed in a virtual ABB RobotStudio environment to verify the functioning of the robot and individual ZSM modules during the bricklaying process. ZSM control is based on the Siemens Simatic S7-1500 programmable controller in the fail-safe version, which supervises the correct operation of all devices. ZSM was tested under laboratory conditions and on the construction site. The robotic technological process of building a wall consists of the following stages: the robot grips the bricks, picks them up, manipulates them, applies mortar to them, and places them on the wall.

Abstract:

The process of housing development is inseparable from labor productivity. This study aimed to determine the value of LUR (Labor Utilization Rate), workgroup productivity, and dominant factors that influence the masonry work in Griya Putri Tanjung Housing. The method used in the research was field observations for six houses by observing the effective work time, contribution work time, and ineffective work time, calculating the area of bricklaying and questionnaires to 12 workers. The questionnaires were processed with SPSS 24. The results obtained showed that the highest worker utility factor (LUR) was on day 2 of 88.89%. The Average LUR in Putri Tanjung Griya Housing is greater than 50%, so the work utility factor reaches the effective time. The highest average productivity of each workforce is on the 3rd day by a productivity value of 1.51 m2/hour/person. The most dominant factor was the time factor and implementation conditions (up to 82%), then the physical factor of labor (32,8%), managerial (-24,1%), the background of the employee (19,1%). The lowest factor was the group factor and the expertise of the workforce by a percentage of influence of -17,5%. Keywords: housing, labor, bricklaying.

Abstract:

In the last period, openwork facades have become very fashionable and commonly used in modern public buildings. They are characterised by an outstanding design and proper lighting of the interior spaces, while providing lightweight solution of the façade. The typical erecting method of an openwork façade - often made of ceramic components - is in-situ bricklaying using specific mortar dedicated to clinker elements. Unfortunately, ensuring proper executive conditions and preparation of the ceramic elements is not always possible. Hence, together with the development of architectural requirements, there has appeared a natural need to create prefabricated elements, which reflect the real bricklaying wall and ensure the safety of the solution. The paper presents a laboratory study on untypical application of a mortar for clinker, used to prefabrication of an elevation panel. The tests of mortar and solution of openwork prefabricated panel made using this mortar and special-shaped clinker components are presented and discussed. The material tests include determination of the strength properties of three types of mortar mixture, differing of each other by water content. The second part of this paper presents the laboratory tests of prefabricated panels, made using previously tested mortars, supported and loaded similar to the real working conditions.

Abstract:

In Brazil, affordable housing programs aimed at low-income populations reach a limited number of people. In the northern region, conventional bricklaying is the preferred method of building affordable single-family houses, which are essentially sets of tiny houses on the outskirts of cities. Conventional bricklaying can damage the environment. This study, started in July 2019, aimed to understand the perception of using timber to build affordable houses by housing program stakeholders and determine why the beneficiaries of housing programs prefer brick houses to wooden houses in locations with building permits. We applied a SWOT analysis to a group of 60 individuals comprising government agents and wooden and brick house residents of cities located in the northern region of Brazil. Subsequently, we devised relevant strategies, validated by stakeholders involved in public policy, for the provision of wooden housing for low-income populations. We used R software to analyze the data, and the results showed that the beneficiaries of affordable housing programs were unaware of wooden architectural projects and their durability, despite the regional abundance of wood and its environmental benefits. We suggest using strategies based on the SWOT analysis and validated by a group of experts to include the Affordable Wooden Housing (AWH) Project in the National Rural Housing Program (PNHR) and Harvest Plan.

In order to numerical simulate the transition process from continua to discontinua and even to structural collapse,the collapse of bricklaying arch built by two-layer stone material is analyzed based on the deformable distinct element method (DEM).The simulation results are consistent with that of experiment. The research results shows that not only the load-displacement response of the arch under uniform fracture energy can be appropriately predicted through the method, but also the collapse behavior when the system partially or completely reaches failure can also be simulated

Abstract:

Entrepreneurship, which often involves learning about how to launch and expand a firm, is frequently considered a topic for students of business disciplines rather than technical students. At light of this, the study identified the elements that encouraged entrepreneurial interest among students studying bricklaying, block laying, and concrete in technical colleges in Katsina State. The 55 participants for the survey research study were 34 BBC students, 10 BBC teachers, and 9 administrators from the three Government Technical Colleges in Katsina State. The complete population was employed for the study due to the manageable size of the population, which is why the purposive sampling approach was used. A structured questionnaire designed by the researchers under the name Facilitating Entrepreneurship Interest Questionnaire (FEIQ) served as the data gathering tool. The instrument was evaluated by three specialists, and Cronbach Alpha yielded a reliability rating of 0.86. The mean and standard deviation were utilized to answer the study questions, and a 0.05 level of significance ANOVA was employed to test the null hypotheses. The results showed that: family background, student participation in entrepreneurship, exposure to entrepreneurship courses, low profit margin, and inability to identify business opportunity, lack of proper guidance in business, and lack of start-up capital are the factors influencing bricklaying/block laying and concrete students' interest in participating in entrepreneurship in Government Technical Colleges of Katsina State. To encourage and foster the spirit of entrepreneurship in the students, it was suggested that the National Education Research and Development Center create entrepreneurship curricula that would be taught as a standalone subject at technical colleges.

Abstract:

This study was designed to determine the constraints to effective utilization of student-centered instructional strategies for teaching Blocklaying, Bricklaying and Concreting (BBC) at technical colleges in Niger State, Nigeria. Three research questions and three hypotheses guided the study. A descriptive survey research design was adopted for the study. The study was conducted in the seven technical colleges in Niger state. The target population was 55 respondents consisting of 38 experienced and 17 less experienced teachers. The instrument for data collection was Questionnaire titled Constraints to Effective Utilization of Student-centered Instructional Strategies for Teaching Blocklaying, Bricklaying and Concreting (CEUSISTBBC). The instrument was validated by three lecturers from the Department of Industrial and Technology Education, Federal University of Technology, Minna. Cronbach Alfa was used to ascertain the reliability coefficient of the instrument which was found to be 0.89. Mean and standard deviation was used to answer the research questions while t-test statistic was used to test the hypotheses at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study revealed that all the teaching strategies identified are student-centered instructional strategies. The study further revealed among others, that lack of facilities, poor students relationship with one another, longer time required for student to achieve curriculum target, students demand to some specific nature, were the challenges hindering effective utilization of students-centered instructional strategies for teaching BBC at technical college level. Based on the findings, it was recommended that student-centered instructional strategies identified in the study should be made a requirement for teaching/learning situation at technical colleges in Niger state. Federal and state ministry of education should provide adequate funding, training and retraining opportunities, readily available teaching materials and resources, provide suitable learning environment, improve students ability to work together among others for effective utilization of student-centered instructional strategies for teaching BBC at technical colleges.

Abstract:

The development of the nation’s infrastructure depends heavily on the construction industry. The entire labor productivity during the project has a significant impact on construction productivity. Therefore, it is necessary to investigate the origins and consequences of labor productivity in the context of the Nepalese construction industry. The methodology involved in conducting the research is the formation of the problem statement, developing research objectives, literature review, data collection, data analysis, conclusion, and recommendations. The data for this research is collected by a literature review as well as a questionnaire and physical observations of building construction. The literature review helped to identify several elements that have an impact on labor productivity. To determine the factors that influenced labor productivity the most, a questionnaire survey was undertaken with a Likert scale. The required information was then produced by processing, analyzing, and interpreting the data using Microsoft Excel and SPSS software tools. The Cronbach’s Alpha value was computed using SPSS to measure the internal consistency and found to be 0.976 which shows the better reliability of the research and data collection. From the study, we can conclude that the results obtained from the relative importance index (RII), mean response analysis (MRA), and sensitivity analysis through Artificial Neural Network (ANN) meets the same conclusion as the highest influencing factor affecting labor productivity is ‘Material related factors’ followed by ‘Leadership related factors’, ‘Manpower related factors’, and the last ‘Other factors’.

Abstract:

Fredrick Taylor is popularly acknowledged as the father of the scientific management theory in the literature. As a strand of the classical theory of organization, the scientific management aimed at ensuring efficiency, standardization of job performance and discipline in complex organizations. When applied to bricklaying, shoveling, and metal cutting by Taylor, the scientific management approach proved to be very efficient and highly productive. Despite its remarkable success in these organizations, the scientific management has been subjected to series of criticism by scholars and authors alike. The study rely on secondary source of data to engage in a continuous academic scrutiny on the efficacy of the scientific management theory, especially, in modern organizations. The paper critically assesses the relevance or otherwise, of the scientific management theory in the 21st century.

Abstract:

This article concerns the Life Cycle Assessment method of evaluation and the ways in which it can be applied as a tool facilitating the design of buildings to reduce embodied energy and embodied carbon. Three variants of a building were examined with the same functional ground plan and usable floor area of 142.6 m2. Each variant of the building was designed using different construction technologies: bricklaying technology utilizing autoclaved aerated concrete popular in Poland, wooden frame insulated with mineral wool, and the Straw-bale technology. Using digital models (Building Information Model) the building’s energy characteristics was simulated and the embodied energy and embodied carbon of the production stage (also called cradle-to-gate) were calculated. The performed calculations were used to compare the cumulative energy and embodied carbon of each variant for a 40 year long life cycle.
