Sustainable construction demands research on enhancing concrete strength and minimizing environmental impact. This study investigates incorporating quaternary concrete mix with sugarcane bagasse ash, copper slag and hatchery waste for improved mechanical properties. Experimental investigations showed that incorporating sugarcane bagasse ash, copper slag and hatchery waste in concrete enhances strength, durability, and contributes to sustainable waste management by repurposing industrial and agricultural by-products. This research explores eco-friendly construction practices using quaternary concrete mixes with unconventional additives. The optimized combination of traditional cement, sand, aggregates, water, sugarcane bagasse ash, copper slag, and hatchery waste improves performance and conserves natural resources, enhancing structural integrity and environmental responsibility.

This study examines the structural performance of different Elevated Storage Reservoirs (ESRs) under static earthquake conditions, focusing on Zone V, a severe earthquake zone, to provide water for human habitation and industry. The study analyses axial forces, bending moments, staging displacement, and horizontal bending moments in columns, beams, and tank walls, revealing significant structural variations among different shapes. This comparative analysis enhances ESR design philosophy for economical, safer, and cost-effective solutions, enhancing resilience in earthquake-prone areas for essential water supply.

Building information modelling is crucial for the proactive management of construction since it has a big influence on the buildings' performance characteristics and reduction of waste. Infrastructure is made to be recycled when it is destroyed, which lessens its impact on the environment and energy usage. Building information modelling, or BIM is crucial for the proactive management of construction since it has a big influence on the buildings' performance characteristics and reduction of waste. Building information modelling (BIM) and its use in the construction sector was the subject of a meta-analysis study that included 2767 papers. Infrastructure is made to be recycled when it is destroyed, which lessens its impact on the environment and energy usage. Building information modelling is crucial for the proactive management of construction since it has a big influence on the buildings' quality of performance and the reduction of waste. Internet of Things (IoT) and Building Information Modelling (BIM) integration in the construction sector from 2011 to 2023. Based on IC, EC, and high-quality assessment requirements, 87 research papers were chosen. The BIM industry has been gradually expanding, especially during the past six years. Of the chosen research, 83.78% were published in journal sources and 25.5% in proceedings. The concentrated on the adoption of BIM, with 50.05% of it focusing on the integration of BIM and IoT devices. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
