1. Aim /Benefits of the Micro-Project:
The aim of most construction companies in India is to complete projects in time,
increasing amount of quality with minimal cost. Thus the selection of the appropriate type and
size of construction plants often affects the performance of construction projects. This study
assesses the effects of construction plants usage on project performance in South African
construction industry. Methodology The primary source was used to collect data for this study.
A structured questionnaire was used as a data collection for this study, distributed amongst Site
Agents, construction managers, project managers, Plant operators, Quantity Surveyors,
Architects, Engineers and Contractors who are working within Indian construction industry.

Civil engineers are often responsible for specifying, designing and manufacturing the
materials with which they build their structures. Studies in construction materials are intended to
make structural, transportation and foundation engineers aware of the fundamental properties of
the materials they use.

2.0 Course outcome addressed.

The basic purpose for which most simple machines are designed is to reduce the effort (force)
required to perform a simple task. To achieve this, the force applied must act over a longer
distance or period of time resulting in the same amount of work being performed by a smaller
force.

Many naturally occurring substances, such as clay, sand wood and rocks, even twigs and
leaves have been used to construct buildings. Apart from naturally occurring materials, many
man-made products are in use, some more and some less synthetic.

Advanced materials outperform conventional materials and contain properties that are far
superior, including greater toughness, hardness, durability and elasticity.

3.0 Proposed methodology

6.0 Brief Introduction/Rationale

Advanced Machinery

People are purchasing more construction equipment than ever before, thanks to the
increasing number of residential, commercial, and industrial projects that demand heavy-
duty tools and machines. Whether you’re working on a construction site, maintaining a busy
roadway, or planning a large-scale landscaping project, there’s a piece of equipment that
can make your job safer and easier.

Construction equipment is any machine used to build or repair a structure. Moles are used
for underground excavations and can bore through sand, soil, and rock. Road rollers or
roller compactors compact concrete, earth, or asphalt. These are used on construction sites,
farmland, and trash dumps.

Using advanced construction equipment can improve the quality, efficiency, safety,
sustainability, and cost-effectiveness of every project that concerns building.

 Following are the most Advanced Construction Machinery:

01. Concrete Grinder

The concrete under the floorboards or tiles can be lumpy, uneven, and even painted or
epoxied. Thus, laying another flooring on top can be a tough job.
Putting any alternative flooring option is simple once the surface has been ground smooth.

Preparing the floors before applying tiles or hardwood is the best approach to maintain their
longevity. It’s crucial if the floors are polished, as the concrete’s quality will be seen.

Large floor installations generally require extensive floor preparation. Hence, a concrete
grinder can make your floor operations easier and faster.

Concrete floor grinders come in two types: planetary and rotary. Their differences lie in the
grinding disc design and weight.

 02. Diamond Concrete Core Drill

You may have heard the term diamond core drilling thrown about recently. How is this
different from traditional core drilling?

Using a hammering motion without a diamond drill exposes operators to many risks,
including unexpected projectiles of cement, stone, or mineral being fired out sideways from
the drill site. Conventional drilling methods also put a lot of strain on the machinery,
potentially destroying it.

A diamond core drill allows for more precise, faster, and efficient core drilling while
causing no damage or vibrations to the surrounding region.

It is more efficient, less messy, and less likely to break or damage nearby structures.

Drilling holes of different diameters with this new technology is possible in various
environments.

 03. One-Man Polymer Pump

Using one hand to control the pump and the other to distribute the joint filter is an
innovative and cutting-edge design. A one-man polymer pump is excellent for small to large
surface prep projects. Its innovative design enables optimal pump operation by clearly
indicating where the pump should be held.

 04. Power Sander

Carpentry requires a lot of sanding. Power sanding equipment smoothens and shapes wood
ad other materials for painting and finishing. The most practical and largest sander for this
purpose is a belt sander.

This sander has an electric motor, two cylinders, and sandpaper to assist in the trimming and
finishing of wood. It is also used to smoothen uneven surfaces, level things, and shape them.

The orbital sander is another type of sander with a unique sanding surface. This sander is
circular and rotates. It is also powered by a high-speed electric motor, with a sanding disk
that spins in a circle, making access to edges and corners simpler.

The orbital sander is used for several jobs that require minimal sanding. It is also used in
preparation for painting, refinishing, or sealing. Finishing a surface is impossible without
orbital sanders; thus, they are known as finish sanders, too.

 05. Automatic Threading Machine

Pipe threaders are crucial tools that can cut threads on the ends of pipes to both female and
male attachments. It can be utilized for mining, plumbing, and many other purposes.

Using automatic threading machines allows for flawless results in several processes like
welding and cutting. Using steel pipe threading machines is thus the best alternative for a
guaranteed result.

Automatic threading machines may also thread both ends of piping systems with the same
threading. These tools can also be used to create client-specific string designs.

Most pipe manufacturers provide threading machines in large quantities, which can help cut
strings quickly and easily.

 Advanced Material in Civil Engineering

What comes to mind when you hear the term ‘construction materials’? Perhaps timber, steel or
bricks. How about light-generating concrete, bioplastic or strand rods? These new materials are
innovative, enabling the architects to create designs closer to their visions and engineers to build
structures in never-before-seen forms and construction techniques. Many of the construction
materials we rely on today are made from both nonrenewable and renewable sources. Non-
renewable materials pose the risk of depletion sooner or later in the future. Renewable materials
fare better although we may end up harming the environment in the process of obtaining these
materials from nature.

These advanced materials have been developed with intensive research and analysis to solve

various issues faced in construction today. Many of them are not yet widely used in the industry

but we can expect this to change as the materials become more affordable and accessible.

Following are the most Advanced Construction Materials:

1. 3D-printed graphene

Graphene is a strong, lightweight material used often in microchips and sensors. Several
researches have also proved that adding graphene can enhance the strength of a material.
Unfortunately, it is expensive and hence, it has not been widely used despite its capabilities.

However, researchers have now managed to develop 3D-printed graphene using graphene oxide
hydrogel as the resin for the printer. This, however, is not a final product. 3D-printed graphene
can be used to reinforce concrete.

Trials have begun for the on-site testing of 3D-printed, graphene-reinforced concrete at train
stations by UK-based civil engineering company Skanska Costain Strabag JV.

 2. Light-generating concrete

Light-generating concrete or cement is non-flammable and able to reflect light, hence the name.
This material is also known to absorb solar energy to ‘charge’ and emit light in the dark. Proven
to be energy efficient, it has been used to illuminate bicycle lanes and roads in Mexico, where its
research took place. As it is quite similar to the regular cement already in use, it can find
application in the construction of many other structures like facades and parking lots.

 3. Cross-laminated timber (CLT)

Cross-laminated timber is a type of mass timber (man-made or engineered wood) that is binded
in layers. As the name suggests, cross-laminated timber is developed in planks by glueing timber
pieces in layers, each layer being perpendicular to the previous. CLT is known for its strength as
well as for being lightweight. It is easy and quick to construct with CLT since it can be
manufactured off-site and assembled on-site. Using CLT alongside technology that provides
precise drawings and models, like BIM (Building Information Modelling), can reduce waste and
labour needed for construction.

Timber is a favourite of many architects as a sustainable material. Find out who is well-known
for using timber in 10 Sustainable Building Materials and Famous Designers Who Use Them.

 4. Bio-plastic

News about plastics causing extensive damage to the environment is hard to miss. Not only do
we need to clean them up, we also need to reduce the use of non-biodegradable plastics. A viable
solution is bioplastic. Bioplastic is usually made from a plant-based source. When disintegrated,
it does not reduce the quality of the soil or harm the environment. Currently, bioplastic is not yet
a common construction material but has been used for food containers and smaller household
items. The ArboSkin pavilion project by Stuttgart University’s ITKE (Institute of Building
Structures and Structural Design), built from bioplastic with 90% renewable materials, proves
that bioplastic has immense potential as a construction material.

 5. Strand Rod

Strand rods are manufactured using carbon fibre composites in both synthetic and inorganic

fibres and thermoplastic resin. It has been developed and tested in Japan to create a lightweight
seismic reinforcement system. It is much lighter than metal rods of the same length and strength

while being equally effective. As the lightest seismic reinforcement, it has high tensile strength

and is also aesthetically pleasing. The first use of such material can be seen in the facade of

Kengo Kuma’s work for Komatsu Seiren’s head office.

2. Communication skills
3. Able to get all information about advanced machinery and materials.

8. Outputs of the Micro-Project

We successfully get all information about advanced machinery and materials and how the
different types of machinery and materials helps to reduce the project time and make sthe
project easier.

9. Conclusion
Advanced Materials are materials that are specifically engineered to exhibit novel or enhanced
properties that confer superior performance relative to conventional materials.

In similar way the advanced machinery makes the construction easier and faster and reduces the
stress of work. BY using the advanced machinery the assured level has increased by much
percentage.
