“…Many shops experience benefits using this new wave of technology. From simple block letters to complex and intricate designs, abrasive water jet cutting bring ideas of architects and designers from concept to completion within a short time [9]. Extraordinary results and superior edge finishes can be achieved with the state-of-the-art abrasive water jet equipment in cutting diverse materials from marble to glass and brass to wood.…”

Water jet processing techniques can be successfully applied in many fields of civil engineering, such as: structural engineering, structural reconstruction, renovation, demolition and recycling. The problem of cutting difficult-to-machine materials led to the development and application of today the most attractive method for contour cutting-Abrasive Water Jet Cutting (AWJC). It is a high-tech technique that provides unique capabilities compared to conventional machining processes. This paper, along the theoretical derivations, provides a study on use of water jet in construction and civil engineering. The particular part of this paper deals with the results of the original experimental research on granite and aluminum cutting.

“…The Government of Rwanda and stakeholders organized additional outreach events to promote the use of sustainable construction materials, especially brick, including "Urban Walk" [3,4]. In addition, awareness and capacity building programs on Green Building Minimum Compliance System were organized for government officials, Rwanda Institute of Architects, Institution of Engineers Rwanda, and other professionals, where the usage of bricks and various green building strategies has been stressed [37,38].…”

Development countries in Africa will see 75% increase of its current building stock until 2060 due to the economic development, rapid urbanization and population growth. Rwanda?s Third National Communication under the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change estimates that the carbon dioxide emissions from buildings will increase by 574% by 2050 in the business as usual scenario. The aim of this paper puts sustainable architecture and green buildings in a context of rapidly urbanizing Rwanda, showing five recently constructed brick buildings that exploit the culture while meeting the sustainability demands of the 21st century. Global sustainability agendas are advocating for the use of brick for its durability, quality, with environmental, economic, and social benefits for construction sector. This paper provides insights on the policies, such as the Green Building Minimum Compliance System, advocating for the use of brick as a sustainable construction material. Despite the rapid urbanization in Rwanda, the existing sustainable construction practices help in reducing carbon dioxide emissions, while this paper also documents results on social and economic perspectives for the community from construction sector.

“…Brick making (Hossain et al, 2019) is an ancient industry of the world (Maithel and Uma, 2000) and its evolution is recorded around 6,000-7,000 BC (Momčilović-Petronijević et al, 2018). Although brick furnaces are established all over the world (Bandyopadhyay et al, 2006), the highest production (90%) is associated with South Asia (Weyant et al, 2014;Tusher et al, 2018).…”

Brick sector is a mainstay of the urban economy of Punjab. The traditional technology of brick making emits a lot of toxic gases and smoke particulates into air. Hence, the Government of the Punjab, Pakistan announced a ban on low technology brick kiln operations during winter season by the end of December 2020. Initially, the existing set up of brick kilns and air pollution levels were evaluated before and during lockdown period using spatial application. Further, environmental parameters such as aerosols, carbon monoxide, ozone, sulfur dioxide and carbon dioxide were determined to analyze the air quality, including metrological factors. Results of the study exhibited that the upper and central regions of Punjab are the major hubs of brick kilns. So, the level of air quality was inconsistent in the study period due to the existence of large mushrooms of brick kilns. Further, despite lockdown the highest concentration of carbon monoxide was recorded in the eastern side of the province, such as Kasur, Lahore, and Sheikhupura. The level of aerosols also fluctuated and shifted its trends in the central and southern part of the province. While SO2 and CO2 level declined and revealed a satisfactory level of air quality during shutdown. On the other hand, no significant relation to metrological factors, such as rain, is involved in the pollution reduction. Conclusively, the findings of the present study encourage the government agencies to realign the stringent control measures to improve the quality of air in the winter months using the experience of quarantine in 2020.
