The following projects are based on construction management. This list shows the latest innovative projects which can be built by students to develop hands-on experience in areas related to/ using construction management.
In this era, development of infrastructure such as roadway, bridges, various buildings etc. are increasing exponentially. Due to insufficient quantity of useful land and strength of soil, engineers improve the soil properties like bulk density, strength etc. by adopting different techniques. In areas of loose deposits, ground improvement is required to check the required performance.
The increase in urban population is a challenging thing for civil engineers in the housing sector. With the help of old conventional methods, it is not possible to meet the various demands of inhabitants. New construction technologies need in the housing sector, to meet these demands at a faster pace. Mivan formwork is one of the modern technologies that comes under advanced technologies list.
The increased waste in the construction industry causes a major problem for disposal operation. The waste materials from construction activities are heavy in weight and occupy more storage space. In India out of 48 million tones of solid waste generated, construction waste make up 25%. Concrete and masonry waste can be recycled by sorting, crushing and sieving into recycled aggregates. This recycled aggregates can be used to make concrete for road construction, soil stabilization, etc. The re-use of waste material is an important factor in point of sustainability.
The construction sector is one of the largest industry in the world. If the time required to complete a construction project is more, it will result in an increased cost.
Global warming is leading to a rise in sea surface temperatures which led to an increase in sea levels. Many people live by the sea and are dependent on it for their livelihood.

There are many advanced technologies emerged in the construction industry over conventional methods. The use of these technologies is to save time and increase work efficiency.
The construction industry is different from other industries due to its large-scale projects, high investments, and other reasons.
With more technological advancement in the architecture industry, we are able to experience more new innovations every year.
The evolution in the technology has created many advantages, especially where high rise buildings of any height can be built but it requires more steel.
Thus, the demand for steel is rising and the construction cost of the structure is also not in control. To make it control a new technology called U-Boot Beton technology is used.
This emerging technology uses environmental friendly recycled polypropylene, that reduces the thickness and weight of the slab.
The Aluminium element was discovered 200 years ago. After the technological development, Aluminium alloy is being used in structural applications even in the civil engineering field. It is the 2nd highly used metal after steel, and it is been used in all sectors from commercial building to a domestic dwelling. In the UK about 40% of Aluminium is used only in the construction industry which will be equal to 150000 tonnes of Aluminium per year.
Conventional bricks are the most important construction material and used extensively throughout India. But using these bricks that are made by earth (clay) is harmful to the environment because bricks are made from clay which is good in quality and only available from agricultural fields.
Damp is identified as one of the agents which can easily deteriorate a structure and weaken the strength of the building. Hence the life-span of the building is not attained as per the design period. The unwanted moisture that presents in part of the structure is called Damp. The Damp may occur due to seepage of rainwater from the outside environment or due to condensation within the structure.
The requirements of construction materials are increasing day by day due to the continued infrastructural growth. Because of this large quantity of waste is also generated every year. Waste generated from the aluminium industries like aluminium hydroxide and many more wastes are generated from the industries while processing the raw materials.
Due to the current development in the field of the construction industry, it led us to construct high rise buildings.
Usually, in traditional practice, all the columns are projected downwards. Thus, there is no extra space for usage in the buildings. Because of this, some developments like parking facilities and play area is not available in the buildings.
Construction of buildings is usually done on flat grounds, but due to the scarcity of flat grounds buildings are constructed on sloping grounds. Sloping grounds are those which are at an inclined level from the normal ground.
Compressive strength is the resistance of a material to break under compression. The compression test is usually performed in a universal testing machine. This varies from tabletop to large machines. To avoid large machines, we have introduced machine learning and automation in construction.
