TASK 2
Technology
In construction industry, various technological tools are used. It helps in constructing
building in effective way. Similarly, in masonry wall also rat trap bond technology is used. In
this bricks are placed in such a way between two faces of wall (Husain and et.al., 2017). This
system makes it easy to fill walls with RCC. Also, with help of hypsometer wall measurement is
done. Then, deviations are identified and improvements is done. therefore, with help of
technology cavity walls are constructed.
Evaluation
Masonry wall is evaluated on basis of many things or criteria. However, walls are
foundation on basis of which construction is done.
The performance requirement identified in masonry wall is. First is durability which
refers to time period of wall till its deterioration. This also the need for undue maintenance.
Then, strength is determined on basis of its failure in case of high loads. Moreover, it contains
durability of wall as well. The stability can have low probability of instability in case of high
loads through its life. Also, other requirements are some other factors as well taken into
consideration. It includes water penetration, etc.
So, among them the strength and durability are crucial one. It directly shows the overall
performance of masonry wall. With help of them, it is easy to distinguish and compare walls
quality and performance. Another requirement is thermal transmittance. By this it becomes easy
to evaluate wall. (Iwaro and Mwasha, 2019). Thus, these all are effective criteria or requirements
to analyse performance of wall. The stability does not help in evaluating performance of wall. It
only shows how much stable wall is.
Improved technology
Technology plays vital role in construction and masonry walls. in order to improve the
use of technology, energy efficient system and software can be installed. It will help in
controlling moisture or heat in wall in maintaining its temperature. the system will monitor data
recording of energy used and heat generated. So, in system or software default temperature can
be inserted. The advance window and door system will make it easy to save energy.
