Folded structures are three-dimensional structures - spatial structures and they belong to the structural systems. The term folded structure defines a folded form of construction, including structures derived from elements which form a folded structure by their mutual relationship in space. For very long time this type of construction has been realized in practice only in of reinforced concrete and made on site, which conditioned the use of a very complicated shell. Development of prefabricated building led to improvements of this type of construction so that the folded structures could be derived by assembly of prefabricated elements and their relationship - monolithization on site. Development of the research of folded structures, starting from their earliest days to today, followed the innovations and latest developments in terms of applied materials and methods of connection. The tendency for the cost effective and quicker construction pushed the folded structures made in reinforced concrete, and led to the construction realized in wood, steel and other modern materials that eventually experienced expansion.

Tem Grid

The Small Angle Cleavage Technique (SACT) developed by John McCaffrey is an extremely easy and cost-effective technique for producing superior cross sectional TEM samples from semiconductor and other single crystal materials. In the original technique, a special jig is required to be made in order to make too cuts in a 2 x 0.5 mm slotted capper TEM grid to create vertical tabs to mount the cleaved samples. This jig is not commercially available and the actual cutting and bending of the grids require a significant amount of manual dexterity. (Fat fingered fellows, like myself, need not apply.) Early on, John proposed a design for a commercial grid that could easily be bent into the required shape with no cutting, but the electron microscopy supply houses passed on the idea. Until now, microscopists wanting to experiment with the technique had to invest in the cost of having one of these jigs made.

The Impact

The construction industry is facing increasing pressure to improve productivity and decrease its environmental impact. Additive manufacturing (AM) technologies, especially three-dimensional concrete printing (3DCP) technology, have provided many benefits for construction. However, holistic comparative studies of the competitiveness of 3DCP and conventional methods, from cost and time perspectives, are lacking. Choosing between the methods is difficult for practitioners. In this study, we investigated the current state of 3DCP in the construction industry using seven distinct scenarios. Our analysis was performed to illustrate the impact of design and supply chain configurations on performance. The results prove the notable competitiveness of 3DCP. In contrast to the conventional construction method, the more complex round design had a positive impact on the cost and process time in 3DCP scenarios. Additionally, we show that on-site 3DCP using a robotic arm was more cost-effective than off-site 3DCP.

High Energy Consumption

This paper is to bring into knowledge, a proficiency, which would help us to fight against energy crises using new construction techniques. It discusses the needs and benefits of sustainable Green buildings. It focuses on coming up with new ideas to build green buildings with minimum Embodied Energy. High energy conservation in buildings can be achieved by insulating materials (powerful device for designing and building) and by improving the construction envelope heat safety, which then controls the building envelope's transmissivity. Since the orientation of buildings and their protection from the sun cannot be implemented freely in the urban environment where it is densely built, heat insulation and adoption of bioclimatic architectural principles becomes the need. Green buildings, at the decreased ranges of consumption of resource and energy, the design of green buildings will meet the needs of users. This is a wise approach to use India’s energy in this period of crisis. These buildings will replace most of our present building methodologies. “Energy can neither be created nor destroyed”, hence application of this paper is aimed at utilizing the irrelevant energy consumed in building processes and providing comfort at the cost of sustainability.

The major issue in the construction industry is to address the development of the suitable building material in a non depleting way to the environmental society. To effectively utilize the industry by-products in the construction sector will bring the cost effective solution and non polluting manner. Hence in this experimental investigation, M30 grade concrete is used in partial replacement of flyash by 0%, 10%, 20% and 30% for evaluating strength parameters. Once the optimum flyash percentage is arrived, then the steel scraps are incorporated in the percentage of 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 1.5% and 2% to enhance the strength properties further. As a result, it is profound that the optimum percentage of flyash replaced concrete is 20 % and addition of 1.5 % steel scraps is appropriate in enhancing the strength parameters. Modeling is adopted in arriving relationship for compressive strength with tensile and flexural strength for flyash replacements and addition of steel scraps. All the model equations are well correlated with the experimental results.

The Cost

In both Asia and Europe, preconstruction primers (PCP) are routinely used and retained as an integral part of the coating system. The retention of PCPs can significantly reduce the painting cost of new ship builds. The cost of protective coatings (paint) application in new construction can be upwards of 10% of the total ship cost. The process is labor intensive; therefore, it is logical that most savings are derived from reducing labor steps. Retaining PCP eliminates the necessity of a second blast operation, thus reducing labor cost and hazardous waste disposal cost. This paper addresses the feasibility of retaining PCP as the permanent primer for protective coatings systems applied in such high-performance areas as exterior hull, underwater bottom, and most importantly ballast tanks. Should the retention of PCP be proven as a viable option, the process of coatings application can be improved resulting in significant cost savings. Spending of new construction dollars will not be necessary to remove the PCP prior to the application of high-performance coating and lining systems. The test program discussed in this paper was based on work sponsored by the National Shipbuilding Research Program Advanced Shipbuilding Enterprise (NSRPAES) and the US Navy. The Surface Preparation and Coatings Panel, SP3, of the Ship Production Committee formulated the program and provided direction during the course of the work. The Ship Production Committee is one of SNAME's nine technical and research committees, and consists of the chairman supported by the ship production major initiative panel chairs and selected others.

There were a number of recent construction methods and materials introduced in the 21st century however, because of lack of data, the implementation of a new construction techniques or a replacement material, the limits of architecture and design have not changed considerably, as will the construction methods. Like the building project. In a broad spectrum of fields, the world of foodstuffs, and user management components, technology also showed promises. Similar with any or all sectors, the building industry continues to support the production of 3D printers. 3D printing should not be underestimated because it reduces the scope of key factors such as growth, the cost of the product and the duration of the entire undertaking. The discovery of new printable, refining shapes, and the regular properties of 3D written concrete will realize this inspiring technique in observation.

Civil Engineering Structures which are been constructed and are being constructed were mostly analysed and designed using STAAD.PRO software and the cost estimation is made in MS Excel. As both these tools have made the analysis, design and estimation an easier task. But in discussing about in favour of these, durability of many structures are failing in seismic zones. As to make this as a note many engineers and researchers are been struggling in solving the problem of failures in the construction Industry. Here, we are considering a method of response spectrum in ZONE-II. By considering this method would able to control the structure against failure to seismic loads. Then while on coming to estimation of the structure, the only thing that worries is when execution started the cost either may increases or may decreases. We, in this research paper have given the factors that influence the change in cost of project on pre-construction and post construction.

Globally, the construction industry is one of the most environmentally catastrophic industries, with a significant effect on the raw materials usage, their commitment of use throughout their whole life cycle, and the atmosphere in which they work. Between 1950 and 2010, global average material consumption rose from 5.0 t to 10.3 ton per capita per year, owing to population growth, industrialization, and increased socio-economic strength. Moreover, this industry uses 35% of produced energy and releases 40% of carbon dioxide into the Earth's atmosphere. One hundred fifty million tons of CDW is made in India according to the BMPTC, and less than 1% is reutilized properly added to that the 55% of total solid waste in India are from the construction industry. The waste produced during the demolition can be well utilized if managed and appropriately recovered, which directly reduces the virgin raw material usage in the new construction, decreasing the amount ending in the landfill. This study aims to understand the strategies and technology for material recovery after the building's life. The literature review will be taken up to list the different strategy in practice for material recovery. The techniques for material recovery are discussed to understand more in detail.  This research helps find the other methods for material recovery and equipment and technology during the demolition and reconstruction of the RCC framed structure. The bottlenecks in the adoption of the various strategy are studied in this research.

AbstractObjective:To investigate whether multiple-use Co-phenylcaine Forte® spray was more cost-effective than single-use vials.Methods:A literature review was conducted to determine the risk of cross-contamination associated with multiple-use topical nasal anaesthetic spray. The costs of multiple-use Co-phenylcaine Forte and single-use co-phenylcaine were compared, and potential savings were calculated. The cost of procuring these drugs from other sources was also examined.Results:Switching to multiple-use Co-phenylcaine Forte spray would lead to at least 40 per cent savings if bought from our local retailer. Potential savings of more than 70 per cent could be made if the drugs were procured from sources other than our local distributor.Conclusion:Multiple-use Co-phenylcaine Forte spray is safe to use and more cost-effective than single-use vials. This paper illustrates how money can be saved within the National Health Service through changes in drug procurement. Similar cost savings to those calculated for our department could be made in other ENT departments nationally, depending on their annual consumption of co-phenylcaine.
