EFFECT OF CONTEMPORARY BUILDING TECHNIQUES AND NEW MATERIALS UPON TIME, QUALITY AND COST OF BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

Abstract

Abstract

Building industry, which is about 12% of the total industry in such a country, is not fully mechanized because it did not follow the building industrial techniques. Three main factors are greatly affected by the new building materials and techniques, time cost and quality. These three factors are controlling and judging success and failure of technology. Studying building techniques and new materials in relation to time cost and + quality is the main concern of the study. Three main factors are greatly affected by the new building materials and techniques, time, cost and quality. Those three factors are

controlling and judging success and failure of construction industry Goals and Objectives: The main goal of the study is to prove that the new building materials and techniques have given the designed the flexibility to choose the suitable and appropriate materials and techniques, to the project requirements and circumstances in order to achieve the desired quality through suitable time and cost. The research also aims to study the building materials, classifications, properties and applications, studying building techniques and their developments, as well as studying the three affected factors; time, cost and quality, and their relations between each other. Methodology of the research: In order to achieve the goals and objectives, the study followed the theoretical studythen the analytical then the comparative analytical methodologies. 1- The theoretical method, in which a historical review of the building materials and

techniques, the meaning of technology and its components, then studying the properties of building structural and non-structural materials and so the newbuilding techniques and finally the theoretical study of the three factors affected by technology; time, cost and quality. 2- An Analytical method, in which an analysis of the effects of the three factors are analyzed in order to define their interrelations either between them and the effects of new building material and techniques. 3- An Application method, in which some new recent buildings are selected from

different types, high rise and tower building and wide span construction, and different location, international and local buildings. These selections of buildings are studied and analyzed to achieve the main goal of the study.
