“…By linkage, the phenomenon of alternative building material and construction, this paper tries to elaborate on the utilization of undegradable waste for building materials by proposing disposable diaper waste as composite materials for building components. An experimental study conducted by several researchers reveal that the application of disposable diaper waste for building materials give a positive result in terms of environmental impact [25] [26], good durability and strength with a maximum mixture of the diaper is 1-5% [27] [28] and no effect in term of healthiness compared to clean diapers [29] [30]. Nevertheless, the previous studies are only limited to the mechanical and physical properties of materials, and the application of materials for building needs to explore more.…”

Due to the rapid urban population, Indonesia's housing policy was developed to address the housing backlog that currently, the demand is expected to increase every year. By linkage housing provision and barriers in terms of housing technology, this paper is aimed to propose potential building materials and the construction technology. An experimental study has been conducted to develop disposable diaper waste as potential building materials for composite panel. By constructing the material using prefabrication method with a modular system becomes one of the best choices to accelerate construction speed compared to on site construction. Based on experimental study, maximum replacement of composite material by disposable diaper waste is 30% for wall panel and 5% for floor panel. In addition, the construction cost of prototype housing using prefabrication method is more affordable compared to on site construction.

“…False ceilings, or dropped ceilings, are often used in construction and architecture as a zone to store and hide unsightly [1,2] but essential building infrastructure such as heating, ventilation ducts and air-conditioning (HVAC), electrical wiring and plumbing systems [3]. Besides helping to regulate thermal performance [4] and acoustic performance [5,6], in many cases, false ceilings also provide fire protection for the space below [7]. The components within the false ceiling are essential conduits of air circulation, electrical power, and sometimes water to different parts of the building rooms.…”

False ceilings are often utilised in residential and commercial spaces as a way to contain and conceal necessary but unattractive building infrastructure, including mechanical, electrical, and plumbing services. Concealing such elements has made it difficult to perform periodic inspection safely for maintenance. To complement this, there have been increasing research interests in mobile robots in recent years that are capable of accessing hard-to-reach locations, thus allowing workers to perform inspections remotely. However, current initiatives are met with challenges arising from unstructured site conditions that hamper the robot’s productivity for false ceiling inspection. The paper adopts a top-down approach known as “Design for Robots”, taking into account four robot-inclusive design principles: activity, accessibility, safety, observability. Falcon, a class of inspection robots, was used as a benchmark to identify spatial constraints according to the four principles. Following this, a list of false ceiling design guidelines for each category are proposed.

“…%, followed by a decrease. The performance of Scirpus grossus fiber when compared with fiberglass in the development of ceiling materials further suggests that natural fibers can be adopted and investigated for the production of cheap, light weight and eco-efficient materials in building applications [ 24 ]. This research investigates the influence of chemical treatment on the properties of cement-paper matrix while utilizing untreated jute fiber (UJF), treated jute fiber (TJF) and eggshell particulate (ESP) as reinforcing materials.…”

This study evaluates the effect of treated and untreated jute fiber/eggshell particulate reinforced cement-paper matrix composites for ceiling board application. Treated jute fiber (TJF) was obtained by immersing untreated jute fiber (UJF) into 1.25 M sodium hydroxide (NaOH) solution in a shaker water bath maintained at 40 °C for 4 h. Eggshells (ESP) were pulverized and sieved to -75μm. Samples were prepared by varying the fiber volume fraction from 0.5 to 2.5 wt.% in the composites. While other constituents such as the binder (cement) and eggshell were kept constant. An hydraulic press cold compaction molder was utilized in the production of the hybrid composites in a predetermined mix ratio designed based on previous research. The samples produced were cured for 7 and 14 days, then sundried for 36 h. The physical, thermal, mechanical and wear behaviour of the produced composites were evaluated while the surface morphology of the fractured splitting tensile samples were analyzed. The result reveals that TJF/ESP hybrid composites had better performance than UJF/ESP hybrid composites in most of the tests carried out. Increase in the number of curing days was found to also enhance the properties of the composite produced in majority of the test evaluated. The 0.5 wt.% UJF/ESP gave the least performance of all the composites developed. While 2.5 wt. % TJF/ESP showed an optimum properties among the composites tested. When compared with standard, it is concluded that the hybrid composites developed can be suitable for ceiling boards and also find possible application in wall partitioning.
