Abstract

Building methods have advanced because of technological development. So-called contemporary construction technology techniques have made construction processes faster, less expensive, and better performing, especially in the case of low-cost contemporary housing projects in Iraq, where these techniques have been developed by planning engineering solutions that fill the housing need in Iraq. This research aims to improve the formal, functional, and environmental requirements through contemporary construction technology techniques in housing complexes in Iraq. Solving the problem necessitated the adoption of a multistage analytical and descriptive approach. The first stage was to extract and create a theoretical framework for the subject. In the second stage, we applied it to the Bismayah housing project in Iraq to determine the most important terms approved in it. Finally, we analyze and discuss the results of the practical study.

Highlights

IntroductionThe concept of construction technology aims to clarify the use of technology and construction for buildings, where technology is defined as a way of thinking and solving problems
Construction is defined as “the part related to the design of the structural fabric and how its components are put together” and is based on three issues: materials, construction methods, and systems [2]
Construction technology is defined as the part related to the design of the structural fabric and it is based on, which aim to develop an economy-based building industry that takes into account the human aspects of the population, and the architectural design in terms of sustainability standards, techniques and new design expertise

Summary

Introduction

The concept of construction technology aims to clarify the use of technology and construction for buildings, where technology is defined as a way of thinking and solving problems. This way of thinking about the use of knowledge, information, and skills leads individuals to the desired results. Construction is defined as “the part related to the design of the structural fabric and how its components are put together” and is based on three issues: materials, construction methods, and systems [2]. This research aims to identify the factors for achieving efficient performance in the Bismayah city project through construction technology techniques (hollow core slab system)
