Description

Smart Building Solution: AI-Driven Interlocking Prefab Masonry System. This project aims to address climate change, labour and housing shortages by creating smart building solutions using prefab masonry system. An optimised interlocking block design will be created through Artificial Intelligence (AI), which will be used in making an easy to install and sustainable prefab masonry walling system, for helping the Australian masonry and construction industries. Expected outcomes include an efficient prefab masonry system, not reliant on formwork and skilled labours, with optimal interlocking block design to commercialise and adopt in buildings. This will significantly benefit the Australian community by reducing construction delays, housing cost and carbon emissions through sustainable construction practices. . Scheme: Early Career Industry Fellowships. Field: 4005 - Civil Engineering. Lead: Dr Tatheer Zahra
