Similarly to any other industry, the construction sector puts emphasis on innovativeness, unconventional thinking, and alternative ideas. At present, when sustainable development, ecology, and awareness of people’s impact on the environment grow in importance, low impact buildings can become an innovative alternative construction technology for the highly industrialized construction sector. The paper presents a comparative study of three walls made of available materials used locally, which can be classified as biosourced materials, in terms of construction time. The comparison of times necessary to make 1 m2 of the wall allows us to decide which building technology is more advantageous in terms of the construction duration. A shorter construction time means lower labour costs and lower expenses for construction machines. In order to obtain answers to the questions posed, the authors made extensive searches of source data on the time-consuming building works which used locally sourced materials. Reference is made to “Temporary principles of erecting clay buildings” issued by the Institute of Housing Construction in Warsaw (Poland). Three types of walls made of locally sourced materials were studied: a wall made of clay blocks insulated with mineral wool boards, a wall made of clay compacted in formwork, and one insulated with mineral wool boards and wooden frame structure filled with straw bales and cladded with fibreboards. The layers have been chosen in such a manner that heat transfer coefficient values for the studied variants are as equal as possible (0.2 W/m2 K), thus allowing a reliable comparative study.

Compared with traditional buildings, prefabricated buildings have the advantages of simple construction technology, low construction requirements, and shorter construction time, which can generate more economic benefits for the construction industry. In order to study the seismic capacity of prestressed fabricated building structures under intelligent big data, this article takes fabricated frame structures as the research object and the reinforced walls at the nodes as the starting point to study the damage patterns and energy dissipation capabilities of different seismic waves on the structure. In order to observe the overall seismic performance, the fabricated frame structure was used. The results of the study found that the prestressed fabricated building structure has the best seismic effect when the axial compression is 0.3, and the prestressed degree is below 0.5, which meets the seismic requirements. Therefore, the prestressed degree of the prestressed fabricated building structure should be below 0.5. According to statistics on the results of structural residual deformation and steel bar deformation of buildings under different seismic waves, it can be found that the prestressed fabricated building structure has better self-recovery ability and can better respond to earthquakes with different seismic waves.

Telemetry data frame structure is complicated and changeable, so telemetry pre-processing software cannot be universal. To solve this problem, a component method was proposed in this paper, which can effectively compensate for the deficiencies of the traditional method. XML files were employed to configure telemetry parameters, including the information of appropriate processing method for data processing. Based-on memory-mapped telemetry source data extraction can greatly improve source extraction speed, and data integrity is guaranteed by sub-frame data fusion. Subsequent telemetry software developing shows that the method can improve the reusability of pre-processing module and shorten the system development time.

The construction sector generates 14,000 t/d of construction waste in Mexico City, these materials do not have real applications and end up accumulating in landfills. This work, the objective of which was to analyze the physicochemical and mineralogical properties of soil and construction waste used in the manufacture of Recoblocks, is divided in five stages. First, the excavation material was submitted to field tests. Physical and chemical tests were then carried out on construction waste. Subsequently, the optimal mixture for making Recoblocks was determined. Next, Recoblocks were evaluated and compared with blocks made with water only, without mucilage of Opuntia ficus, and finally a feasibility study was performed. The X-ray diffraction study showed the presence of plagioclase, minerals that improve bending resistance, hardness, durability, as well as resistance to stress in a material. Compared to blocks manufactured without mucilage, the use of Opuntia ficus mucilage increased the compressive strength of the material by 59%, as well as the erodibility. Recoblocks are an environmentally friendly option because they are based on recycled materials, dried under the sun, which eliminates the use of brick oven. The production cost per unit is just USD 0.19, so it is a viable option as a building material.

Since our country entered the 21st century, our country’s social economy has achieved remarkable achievements compared with the past, and the economic development has accelerated significantly. This has created good conditions for the healthy and sustainable development of the entire construction industry. Especially in recent years, the construction industry has occupied an increasingly important position. At present, with the advancement and development of science and technology, China’s building technology has achieved better development than before. Various modern buildings have emerged continuously, and the construction of foundation slab concrete has emerged. With its own various characteristics, in the specific construction, it is necessary to strengthen the attention to various construction problems, such as easy cracking, large shrinkage and high water heating, etc. At the same time, it is necessary to combine specific construction standards and pay attention to research on related construction technology can promote the overall and steady improvement of the overall project quality.

With the development of construction technology and construction equipment, now almost all industrial and civil buildings are changing to frame structure. As a result of the differences in floor height, span and the thickness of the cast-in-place floor slab, so the frame column and beam stress is different. When the stress exceeds a certain limit, then it will result in the problem of “strong beam weak column”, and this affects the quality of the buildings, thus how to solve the strong beam weak column caused by the cast-in-place floor slab becomes very meaningful.
