CHAPTER 2 OVERVIEW ON IBS 2.0 INTRODUCTION This chapter will cover on the basic theories of the Industrialised Building System like the definitions, characteristics, types and the advantages of IBS. All of the information is important in improving on the understanding of this industrialised building system, in general. 2.1 DEFINITIONS Researches have interpreted IBS differently according to their understanding. Thus, resulting in various definitions of IBS. Among the early ones is Junid (1986)

Asphalt concrete is a composite material commonly used in construction projects such as road surfaces, parking lots, and airports. Asphalt concrete consists of asphalt (used as a binder) mixed with mineral aggregate and then laid down in layers and compacted. Asphalt concrete was refined and enhanced to its current state by Belgian inventor and U.S. immigrant Edward de Smedt.[2] It is increasingly being used as the core of embankment dams.[3] It is commonly called simply asphalt,[4] blacktop

Floor systems The floor system is the primary horizontal building structure which must withstand both live loads and dead loads, (BCA Part B1.2) (AS 1170.1). Any flooring system consists of linear beams and joists to distribute floor loads evenly throughout floor surface, transferring horizontal loads down to vertical structures such as beams, columns or load bearing walls. Floor systems must safely support moving loads. A floor system should be relatively stiff while maintaining its elasticity

Autoclaved Aerated Concrete Abstract This report investigates the Autoclaved Aerated Concrete (AAC). AAC, or known as Autoclave Cellular Concrete (ACC) is an innovative concrete material that used for all types of structures. In this paper, its history (development), manufacturing process, some typical attributes and advantages, properties and limitations would be interpreted; in order to give an idea why it is so popular to be building material nowadays. Introduction AAC is a precast building
