Dampness is a continuing cause of distress to building occupants. The effects of dampness have become a major problem when it invades into building. It is also a possible source of or a contributor to illness and it encourages deterioration in the fabric of the building. With an emphasis on existing buildings and some coverage of the design of new buildings, the objectives of this research are to investigate the causes of dampness during and after the construction of buildings, identify the effects of dampness on the building and its occupants and offer recommendations on the above mention issues. The level of dampness causes and effects differ across geographic areas, climates, and building types. A descriptive survey technique was used to gather information about rising damp in the municipality which includes questionnaires, interviews, and personal observations. According to the findings, the condition resulting in rising dampness to the base of walls was the lack of incorporation of damp-proof courses during construction. Also, the problem of rising dampness reoccurs shortly after treatment because of the application of the wrong treatment method as well as the absence of damp treatment specialists. The effects of rising dampness led to damage to plaster work, crumbling of masonry, peeling of paintwork, efflorescence on wall surfaces, uncomfortable, unattractive rooms, and the cost of painting a room or building yearly. From the findings, it is recommended that damp proof courses (DPCs) should be placed through the full thickness of the base of walls below floor level to form an impervious layer that keeps rising damp out of the buildings.

Building dampness, arising from excessive moisture accumulation within structures, stands as a pervasive concern impacting buildings and their inhabitants globally. This research tried to unravel the root cause of building dampness and understand its far-reaching implications, encompassing structural integrity and health implications. The research collected data from the site and an in-depth analysis was conducted to ascertain the moisture level and structural integrity of buildings in the selected community. The research results and findings indicate that builders mostly do not apply the appropriate building principles nor seek technical supervision in raising structures. The research also sought to contribute to a deeper understanding of this prevalent issue of dampness in building structures and provided effective mitigation strategies to create healthier and sustainable built environments.

In the present day, the civil construction industry grapples with various challenges, including low productivity, a shortage of skilled labour, resistance to technological innovations, and significant environmental impacts. Extensive literature underscores the urgency of modernizing the sector by embracing new technologies such as digital prototyping and advanced manufacturing processes. In light of these considerations, this article aims to assess the range of materials available for 3D printing to determine the feasibility of integrating this technology into the Brazilian civil construction industry (BCI). Through a comprehensive analysis of materials currently in use, drawn from scientific research, it becomes evident that mortar-based materials are emerging as a preferred choice for 3D printing components within civil construction. Considering that the Brazilian construction sector already heavily relies on cement as its primary material for constructing the built environment, a promising landscape unfolds for the gradual adoption and integration of three-dimensional printing technology into the industry. This alignment with existing practices and materials positions the BCI favourably for embracing the potential of 3D printing.

A trial treatment plant model was constructed and the performance of the model was found to be effective as an effective technique for removing iron and other contaminants from groundwater. With an effective size of 0.45 mm, a uniformity factor of 1.5 and a porosity of 0.6, the filter material was able to filter water with a high iron content and other parameters. The backwash speed of the sand filter is 1.44 m/s (86.4 m/h). At this speed, the pressure was sufficient to cause the media to expand and boil, so that the iron sludge, flakes and other dirt remained in the filter. Nine (9) daily inflows and outflows at depths of 60 cm, 70 cm and 80 cm were determined. An iron removal efficiency of 99.1% was achieved at a depth of 60 cm and 90.63% at a depth of 80 cm. Similarly, the model was able to remove physical and organoleptic parameters (color, turbidity, fluorine, manganese, nitrite, Ph, zinc, E-coli and total coliforms). The technology developed in this research can be used as an alternative, simple and cost-effective way to remove iron and other contaminants from groundwater.

Blockchain technology has altered the way transactions are conducted since its introduction. It offers a risk-free and secure way to exchange digital currency that is impervious to manipulation by those with bad intentions. In blocks that store the data, it stores all transactional data. The best example of decentralized, systematic data collection is blockchain technology. By storing the block in many locations across a distributed network arrangement, it offers a public ledger system that combines public key encryption of all transactions to solve the double spending problem, making change impossible and therefore more secure. This article explores the usefulness and benefits of Blockchain technology compared to traditional data management by outlining its fundamental concepts and how it has been adopted in different industries. The writers also discuss the factors that led to the adoption of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies as well as the shift to a decentralized crypto ledger. In-depth information on this technology's potential hazards, drawbacks, security features, threats, and vulnerabilities is also included in the article.

The paper aimed to Assessment of Some Economic Factors Affecting Inflation in Sudan; an econometric study (1996-2021). The study focused on the exchange rate (EX), the unemployment rate (UR), and the money supply (MS). The study is based on the following main hypotheses: There is a positive effect between the inflation rate (INF), the exchange rate (EX), and the money supply (MS), and that there is a negative effect between (INF) and (UR). The study revealed the following conclusions: The devaluation of the currency exchange rate leads to an increase in the inflation rate, but the increase in the unemployment rate leads to a decrease in the inflation rate in Sudan. The study recommended that the state adopt an effective fiscal and monetary policy to reduce the rate of inflation in order to increase the employment rate and improve the level of the country's national product.

Air pollution is one of the significant environmental concerning issues in Bangladesh. It has been getting worse at a district level over the past few decades. The main objective of this study was to observe the concentration of Particulate Matter (PM) in Netrokona district town depending on the different uses of land represents. This research was carried out with the assistance of a portable Air Quality Monitor in a total of sixty different places throughout the Netrokona district town. It was revealed that, on average, locations in the district town of Netrokona had particulate matter concentrations (60.97, 99.63, 130.12 µg/m3) respectively. Moreover, averaged PM₂.₅ was 1.53 times fold than Bangladesh's National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) level. On the basis of PM₂.₅ concentration, the study demonstrated that three of the most polluted places were located in commercial areas, whereas two of the least polluted places were in sensitive areas. According to estimates, the ratio of PM₂.₅/PM₁₀ was found 76.76%, while the ratio of PM₁/ PM₂.₅ was 61.17%.

It has been getting worse at a district level over the past few decades. The main objective of this study was to observe the concentration of Particulate Matter (PM) in Netrokona district town depending on the different uses of land represents. This research was carried out with the assistance of a portable Air Quality Monitor in a total of sixty different places throughout the Netrokona district town. It was revealed that, on average, locations in the district town of Netrokona had particulate matter concentrations (60.97, 99.63, 130.12 µg/m3) respectively. Moreover, averaged PM₂.₅ was 1.53 times fold than Bangladesh's National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) level. On the basis of PM₂.₅ concentration, the study demonstrated that three of the most polluted places were located in commercial areas, whereas two of the least polluted places were in sensitive areas. According to estimates, the ratio of PM₂.₅/PM₁₀ was found 76.76%, while the ratio of PM₁/ PM₂.₅ was 61.17%. This research ranks land uses by average PM₂.₅ concentration: mixed area> commercial area> road intersection area> residential area> village area> industrial area> sensitive area.","PeriodicalId":125730,"journal":{"name":"Open Access Research Journal of Engineering and Technology","volume":"44 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-07-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115877314","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
