Modern materials, manufacturing processes and on site construction technology

Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Engineering - Civil Engineering, Anglia Ruskin University, language: English, abstract: Modern materials are those materials that have less impact on the environment in their extraction, processing, use, recycling, and disposal. In addition, they must not be harmful to our health and should contribute to a better climate on the premises. Overall the environmental impact of materials depends on many factors and they may differ in different places around the world. In their essence, the modern materials and manufacturing processes are found in many places worldwide and are used for the construction of various structures. In view of the popular environmental movement and the idea of an environmentally friendly lifestyle, more and more entrepreneurs decide to use modern materials in the construction of their buildings (Berge, 2008). It is precisely for this reason that the actuality of this research is unmistakable, and its purpose and aims are the following: A literature review of the most commonly used modern materials; Ways of constructing a modern building out of modern materials; Recommendations and conclusions for their better usage; The research is built upon two main chapters. Chapter one introduces the modern materials and outlines the researcher s motivation to carry out this particular study and the significance of the research. It poses several questions and concluding by outlining the aims of the research and providing an overview of the organization of the research. Chapter two uses a number of sources as evidence, as well as deep understanding of the different perspectives of the on-site construction.
