Construction

 low-cost housing

Definition :

An innovative concept in which effective budgeting is taken into account by using some technologies which reduce the cost of construction effectively.

Important parameters considered in low-cost housing :

• Building construction material used in low-cost housing for construction depends upon the locality of that area.
• The method of low-cost housing construction also depends upon the skilled labour availability in that region
• We should choose wisely in building construction material and method of construction without compromising the strength durability and performance of the structure
• There is a huge misconception that low-cost housing is only suitable for low substandard works and very cheap quality construction material is used
• Reality is that low-cost housing should be done by proper management of various resources
• Economic can be achieved by postponing the finishing work.

Asphalt Tile and Induction Heating :

One of the most advantageous methods of quick repair of road pavement is Asphalt tile and induction heating.

Brief introduction of Asphalt tile and induction heating technique for road repair :

• In this system, Asphalt Tile is present which is composed of a bonding layer made up of polymer modified bitumen and steel fibres
• The polymer-modified bitumen and steel fibres are heated using induction energy

How to apply Asphalt tile and induction technique :

• Whenever a pothole appears, then clean up at the surface
• Fill tile in that pothole, so that it is bonded to the old payment by means of induction in energy.

A speciality of asphalt tile and induction heating :

• Asphalt tiles are used to fill potholes and bonded together using induction heating.
• The shared strength of the bond is higher than the original material
• The rutting resistance is 40 times higher than cold mix asphalt
