Application of the TRIZ Methodology in the Construction Industry

Abstract

The relevance of the research is due to the definition of the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving (TRIZ) concept as well as the effectiveness of the theory principles during various types of construction work. The purpose of this research is to formulate the concept of the Theory of Inventive Problem Solving, as well as to evaluate the laws of development of technical systems concerning typical construction operations, which generally determines the main prospects to apply the theory to the construction industry. The methodology of this paper is based on a combination of the method of system analysis of the essence of the TRIZ concept as a separate concept that finds its reflection in various fields of science and technology, with an analytical study of the prospects to apply the principles of the theory in construction work. The results of this research indicate significant prospects for the application of the TRIZ in the construction industry and serve as a reflection of these prospects since they demonstrate the broad possibilities to apply the theory in search of new typical construction operations and to improve the quality standards of construction work in general. The results and conclusions of this scientific study are of significant importance from the point of view of prospects to apply the principles of the theory during different construction work, are important for designers of construction projects, and direct performers of construction operations interested in effective and innovative technologies in the construction sector.
