Barriers To The Adoption Of Modular Construction Technology In South Africa, Mokete Matoba, Christopher Amoah Dec 2025

Barriers To The Adoption Of Modular Construction Technology In South Africa, Mokete Matoba, Christopher Amoah

CSID Journal of Infrastructure Development

Construction, mining, and manufacturing are the most significant contributors to South Africa's GDP. While manufacturing and other industries utilise advanced technologies to enhance productivity, he construction industry continues to lag behind in technological adoption. This study examines the barriers that hinder the South African construction industry from leveraging the benefits of modular construction technologies (MCT). The study employed a quantitative research method, using closed-ended questions to collect data. The questionnaires were emailed to South African construction industry professionals selected through a combination of purposive and convenience sampling. A total of 98 questionnaires were distributed, of which 46 were returned. However, …


Urban Form Beyond Density: Shape Compactness Matters, Galuh Anisa Putri, Ahmad Gamal Dec 2025

Urban Form Beyond Density: Shape Compactness Matters, Galuh Anisa Putri, Ahmad Gamal

CSID Journal of Infrastructure Development

Urban compactness has traditionally been measured through density, with population per area used as a core indicator of urban form. However, this method creates a limited view of what compactness means. Research shows that a compact city is not always a high-density city, and that increasing density does not automatically result in compact development. Compactness also involves the shape and structure of urban footprints, which influence how land is used and how a city functions. This paper presents a conceptual distinction between density and shape compactness, arguing that both are necessary to understand urban form. A qualitative literature review was …


Effects Of Calcination Conditions Of Locust Bean Pod On The Mechanical Properties Of Locust Bean Pod Ash High-Strength Concrete, Iorwuese Anum, Umar Abdullahi, Megat Azmi Megat Johari, Felix Nkapheeyan Isa Dec 2025

Effects Of Calcination Conditions Of Locust Bean Pod On The Mechanical Properties Of Locust Bean Pod Ash High-Strength Concrete, Iorwuese Anum, Umar Abdullahi, Megat Azmi Megat Johari, Felix Nkapheeyan Isa

CSID Journal of Infrastructure Development

Locust Bean Pod Ash (LBPA) is produced from the calcination of Locust Bean Pod (LBP), an agricultural waste of the African locust bean tree (Parkia biglobosa). This study evaluated the use of LBPA obtained through controlled calcination and open burning as a supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in high-strength concrete (HSC). Cement was replaced by LBPA at 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% by weight using both ashes—LC for ash produced through calcination at 600 °C, and LO for ash obtained through open burning. Slump and strength were assessed, including compressive strength (100 × 100 × 100 mm cubes) and splitting tensile …


Green Connectivity In Metropolitan Jabodetabek: Climate Change And The Challenge Of Urban Forest, Safira Maharani Putri, Hendricus Andy Simarmata Dec 2025

Green Connectivity In Metropolitan Jabodetabek: Climate Change And The Challenge Of Urban Forest, Safira Maharani Putri, Hendricus Andy Simarmata

CSID Journal of Infrastructure Development

Urban areas in Indonesia, particularly the Greater Jakarta metropolitan region (Jabodetabek), are increasingly experiencing the adverse effects of climate change, such as the Urban Heat Island (UHI) phenomenon. Rapid urbanization has contributed significantly to rising greenhouse gas emissions and deteriorating environmental quality. Urban forests are one of the key solutions to mitigate these impacts; however, their spatial distribution in Jabodetabek remains suboptimal and poorly connected. This study uses NDVI as a proxy for urban forest density, where “urban forest” refers to vegetated areas within cities as defined by Presidential Regulation No. 60/2020. The research addresses the following question: How has …


Enhancing Health And Safety Practices In Construction Site In Developing Nations Through Technology Advancement In South Western Nigeria, Mubaraq Lawal, Abba Mahmud, Ismail Gbolahan Dere, Thankgod Agbo Owoicho Dec 2025

Enhancing Health And Safety Practices In Construction Site In Developing Nations Through Technology Advancement In South Western Nigeria, Mubaraq Lawal, Abba Mahmud, Ismail Gbolahan Dere, Thankgod Agbo Owoicho

CSID Journal of Infrastructure Development

The construction sector plays a critical role in urban development and economic growth, yet it continues to face major challenges that threaten worker health and safety. Traditional safety measures are not always sufficient for the complex conditions found on construction sites, which creates a need for technology‑based solutions. This study investigates the relationship between technology adoption and health and safety practices in the construction industry in Lagos, Nigeria. The study identifies the major causes of site accidents, examines the level of technology use on construction sites, and reviews existing literature through both primary and secondary data. Primary data were collected …


Exploring The Horizontal Static And Dynamic Shading Devices To Minimize Cooling Load In Tropical Buildings, Hilmi Fitriatulamal, Ova Candra Dewi, Miktha Farid Alkadri, Kartika Rahmasari Dec 2025

Exploring The Horizontal Static And Dynamic Shading Devices To Minimize Cooling Load In Tropical Buildings, Hilmi Fitriatulamal, Ova Candra Dewi, Miktha Farid Alkadri, Kartika Rahmasari

CSID Journal of Infrastructure Development

Shading devices are essential for reducing solar radiation and cooling loads in buildings located in tropical climates. In the Jakarta region, the highest solar factor is observed on west- and east-facing facades, followed by north- and south-facing orientations. National building policy in Indonesia encourages facades to face north–south to reduce solar heat gain. This study explores horizontal static and dynamic shading devices on north-facing facades and evaluates their impact on cooling load reduction and daylight performance. The methodology includes calculating and simulating energy use intensity (EUI) using EnergyPlus and conducting illuminance analysis using Radiance and Grasshopper. Key parameters considered in …


Decision Framework For Enhancing The Adoption Of Alternative Infrastructure Funding Models In Ghana, Samuel Kojo Aidoo, Patricia Lindelwa Makoni Dec 2025

Decision Framework For Enhancing The Adoption Of Alternative Infrastructure Funding Models In Ghana, Samuel Kojo Aidoo, Patricia Lindelwa Makoni

CSID Journal of Infrastructure Development

This paper examines the socio-economic and infrastructure conditions that determine Ghana’s readiness to adopt alternative infrastructure funding models (AIFMs) for sustainable road development. The objective of the study is to identify the macroeconomic and sectoral drivers of AIFMs’ adoption and to develop policy frameworks for the sustainable financing of infrastructure within Ghana’s context. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression analysis is applied to annual data from 2003 to 2023 to examine the relationship between macroeconomic and infrastructure indicators and economic growth , which is used as a proxy for the viability of AIFMs. The results show that employment growth, educational attainment, …

Saudi Stock Market Prediction Using Majority Voting, Mobeen W. Alhalabi, Aiiad Albishri

Journal of King Abdulaziz University: Computing and Information Technology Sciences

Predicting the stock market via data analysis is an important research topic. Because the system implementing it seems to think and act like humans, for the last two decades’ machine learning got a lot of attention from developers, programmers, scientists, even from the general public. Due to their advantages, machine learning techniques can be used in many areas, including finance and stock markets. Although many studies were performed with excellent results for the investors, many researchers are still looking for better results that will help minimize risk with higher percentage. In this study, the state of the techniques to predict …
