Reseña del libro "Recent Developments in Building Construction Technology (en Inglés)"
The conventional building construction systems are primarily cast in-situ slow paced construction systems. The technological progress has introduced many innovations in the field of construction industry. In recent years, the building construction industry is continuously being updated and upgraded with the latest technologies to improve the cost, safety, efficiency, and quality of construction. Technology adds significant value at every stage of construction, from planning to the commission, by optimizing efficiency and productivity. The building construction technology covers a wide range of modern techniques and practices that encompass the latest developments in materials, building technology and their applications, building design procedures, quantity surveying, structural analysis and design, the functioning of building components and systems, procedures and details of building assembly and so on. In the rapidly changing scenario of the building sector, architects, engineers and builders should search for new construction technologies to adopt in future constructions that benefit energy efficiency, resources and water conservation, improved indoor air quality, life cycle cost reduction, durability and low maintenance. Therefore, to attain these objectives, application and knowledge of latest advancements in various building construction materials and technologies are of prime concern. Therefore, it is judicious to adopt new construction systems which ensure quick delivery of quality building structures without compromising functional and structural requirements. This book 'Recent Developments in Building Construction Technology' contains Five chapters that introduces and discusses some state-of-the-art building technologies and scientific methods that may be beneficial to architects, engineers, building scientists and construction industry professionals.
