INTRODUCTION TO IBS

1.1

Introduction to IBS

Industrialized Building System (IBS) is a construction technique whereby the fabrication of these building components are carried out within a controlled environment, either on site or oﬀ site in a factory plant. It is then transported and assembled into a structure with minimal-to-zero site work. The primary reasons for introducing IBS into Malaysia were to reduce the dependency on foreign labour and to boost productivity. The construction process is also independent from weather conditions as most of the construction processes of IBS is completed in the factory.

The Construction Industry Development Board (CIDB) was formed in 1994 and they have been actively promoting the application of iBS in the Malaysian construction industry ever since the Cabinet of Ministers endorsed the IBS Strategic Plan as the blueprint for total industrialisation of the construction sector in 1998. They also aim to educate contractors with the usage of IBS as “assemblers of components” rather than “builders”. The IBS Score system was also implemented into the construction industry by CIDB to measure the level of IBS usage in buildings.

The implementation of IBS can be done in two systems, which are the open IBS or closed IBS system. Open IBS system allows the combination of prefabricated building components from various manufacturing plants and the components are compatible with each other. For this system to be effective, a modular coordination is required. Closed IBS system is defined by which all building components are custom made to design for specific individual projects. This system does not allow interchangeability of components from different plants.

Types of IBS Systems in Malaysia

Precast Concrete System

Formwork System

Steel Framing System

Precast concrete system is the most popular used IBS method in Malaysia. It consists of precast concrete columns, beams, slabs , walls, ‘3D’ components such as balconies, toilets, lift chambers and refuse chambers, lightweight precast concrete and permanent concrete formworks.

Formwork system consists of tunnel forms, tilt-up system, beams and columns moulding format, permanent steelwork forms. The IBS formwork an be re-used 20 times minimum up to maximum of 80 times. Thus, it is suitable for multi-storey building as most design is repeated in every ﬂoor of the building.

Steel framing system consists of steel beams and columns, portal framing systems and roof trusses. It is extensively used in the fast track construction of skyscrapers. The light steel trusses consisting of costeﬀective proﬁled cold formed channels and steel portal frame system are used as alternatives to the heavier traditional hot-rolled sections.

Innovative System

This system involves prefabricated timber roof truss,timber frames beams and columns. It is cost eďŹ&#x192;cient and is usually made up of multiple wood modules. It is widely used for aesthetic purpose such as chalets and resorts in tourism areas.

Block work system is an alternative system to the traditional brick laying technique and is mainly used for non-structural wall. This system consists of interlocking concrete masonry unit (CMU), lightweight concrete blocks which may include hollow cores to reduce the weight while improving insulation properties.

Innovative system integrates various green elements which are considered innovative in this system. The examples include mixture of polystyrene and concrete to produce IBS components of a wall to strengthen thermal insulation. Other materials such as gypsum, wood wool, polymer, ďŹ berglass and aluminium are also introduced based on IBS components.

INTRODUCTION

ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF IBS IN MALAYSIA

1.3

Advantages and Disadvantages of IBS in Malaysia

ADVANTAGES

DISADVANTAGES

Long Run Cost Reduction

High Initial Cost

The formwork of IBS components mostly consist of materials that can be used repeatedly such as steel and aluminium, which reduces the construction cost for having to build formwork for each project.

The initial cost to invest in the IBS construction is high as it requires speciﬁc machines to cast the components which results in a high capital cost.

Shorter Construction Time

Need for Specialised Labour

IBS speeds up the construction process because the casting of precast elements at factory and foundation work on site can occur simultaneously, while the work later on site is only to assemble and erect these IBS components.

Although the overall numbers of workers are reduced, the quality of workers has to be maintained to a certain standard. IBS system is easy to assemble yet risky to do so if workers are not properly trained with the necessary skill sets.

Transportation Inﬂexibility

Better Site Environment IBS reduces the wastage on the site as the usage of the formwork and tools are greatly reduced, allowing for an overall neater and organized appearance of site.

Large IBS components will pose a problem in transporting from one place to another. This will potentially increase the construction cost and time.

HIgh Quality and Aesthetic Values

Limited Source Supplies

The quality of the IBS components are guaranteed a certain standard as it is prefabricated within a strict environment. It has good aesthetic value too as it is cast using steel formwork which gives it its smooth even surface.

The application of IBS system is not that widespread in Malaysia’s construction industry because not many existing manufacturers of IBS building components are available.

Smooth Construction Operation

Decrease in Job Opportunities

The construction process will not be aﬀected by the weather conditions because most of the construction operation of IBS is done in factory.

The fabrication of IBS building components are largely done by automated machineries which decreases the demand for manual labour leading to lesser job opportunities available in the market.

INTRODUCTION

STANDARD DESIGN WORKFLOW OF IBS

1.4 1

Standard Design Workﬂow of IBS Design Consideration

The ﬁrst stage is design phase, where the design of IBS components are carried out according to the speciﬁcation stated in MS 1064.

Production Line

When the components reached the site, they are assembled with the assistance of a crane tower. Due to the precast components, there is less on-site work, thus reducing construction waste and having a cleaner site.

Completion Finishes such as plastering and painting are done to add aesthetic value to the completed unit.

Then, the components are precast oﬀ site, at a manufacturing plant according to the speciﬁed dimension and details. Quality control of the end products are strictly supervised throughout the fabrication process.

Assemblage on Site

Delivery to Site The IBS components are then transported to the construction site from the manufacturing plant for assembling stage.

INTRODUCTION

PROPOSED 1BS SYSTEM: BLOCKWORK SYSTEM

1.5

Proposed IBS System: Blockwork System

Blockwork system is a construction of concrete or concrete blocks larger than standard clay or concrete bricks. The block system consists of lightweight concrete block and interlocking concrete masonry unit (CMU) blocks. The blocks are manufactured through an automated manufacturing process of mixing materials, layering the material in the mold and then transfering the unit to the curing operation. CMU blocks are rectangular blocks made of concrete with hollow cores in order to make them lighter and increase their insulation capacity. The blocks are available in a range of densities to suit different applications, mostly used to build load-bearing wall pile and wall components. The blocks are different from conventional bricks as they do not require mortar for brick application work. Their convenience and cost effectiveness have made them a popular alternative to traditional clay bricks.

1.5.1

Advantages and Disadvantages of Blockwork System

ADVANTAGES

DISADVANTAGES

Long Run Cost Reduction

High Material and Transportation Cost

It does not require high initial cost as the costly and time consuming plaster work can be eliminated.

The cost of concrete blocks ﬂuctuates but is generally more expensive than lumber and transporting prefabricated blocks require higher transportation fee.

Shorter Construction Time

Familiarisation

Concrete blocks are prefabricated oﬀ site, and only need to be erected on site. Faster construction ultimately leads to lower labour costs.

As it is a relatively new technology to construction industry, workers who are inexperienced are required to undergo training. Appearance

Better Durability Can withstand severe weather and last for centuries if it is maintained well. Blockwork system also requires

Commonly plain and unappealing appearance, unless facade design is introduced. Although you can paint the concrete, not much can be done to change the general texture or pattern.

Fire Resistant

Low Strength

Concrete is ﬁreproof and is often used as a ﬁrewall between rooms and other structures. It is also ideal for wet environments as it resists moisture.

It adds a lot of weight to the foundation. Therefore it increases the stress of the foundation which in which a stronger foundation is needed to support the blocks.

Types of Concrete Blocks in Malaysia

Solid Block

Hollow Block

Cellular Block

Blocks which contain no formed voids. They are commonly used for load bearing and exposed work in industrial building. They are available in large sizes compared to bricks. Therefore, lesser construction time is required compared to the brick masonry.

Hollow blocks have one or more hollow cores. These cores reduces the total cross-sectional area of the block by at least 25 percent. Standard hollow concrete blocks come in full and half sizes. Full size blocks are rectangular and have two cores. Half size blocks are cubical and have one core.

Block which contains one or more formed voids which do not fully penetrate the block. It is lower weight alternative to solid dense blocks with improved thermal properties.

Bungalow House, Kota Bahru Project: Bungalow House, Kota Bahru Construction Period: 3 weeks IBS System: Load Bearing Blockwork System IBS Products/Components: Lightweight Blocks Introduction: The case study features a two-storey high bungalow house and is of private ownership. The construction includes the lightweight block, lightweight precast panel slab and roof trusses without column. This construction design is unique due to the inclusion of ‘lintel beam’ which allows extra extension work or renovation to be carried out in the future. The application of IBS system in the bungalow demonstrated its competency and eﬃciency in which the bungalow only took a mere 3 weeks to complete its construction with minimal use of manpower.

Partial IBS Factor

Raft foundation is used for the base due to the low bearing capacity on site, helping to reduce diﬀerential settlement.

Construction of the ﬁrst ﬂoor proceeds with precast lightweight concrete block walls which require minimum time for the concrete to reach its targeted strength.

The wall is erected, featuring a running bond pattern. Construction of staircase to the first floor is also expedited even though the main structure of the first floor is still in progress.

Integration of lightweight block system with fenestration design also enables the construction to be carried out smoothly.

After completing the first floor structure, lightweight floor slab panels with accurate dimensions are installed into place, replacing the cast in-situ method which also effectively reduces material wastage eg. formwork.

Following this, roof trusses, ceiling frame and later roof tiles, are installed onto the building.

CONCRETE MASONRY UNIT (CMU)

2.1.1

Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU)

Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) supplier Malaysia has been doing well due to its versatility, easy to be installed and cost effective to builder. Its longevity, appealing finish, require no further treatment in term of paint makes it quick to build. It can also produced by natural green materials or recycled materials which does not have or contain low volatile organic compound (VOC). Concrete masonry units are manufactured from very dry, stiff concrete mixtures. The “no-slump” or “low-slump” material is placed into molds, vibrated and compacted, and demolded quickly. Units are stiff enough to hold their shape as they enter the curing chamber. Afterwards, they are palletized and readied for shipping. Factories through the country manufactured concrete masonry units, adding to local economies and meeting sustainable criteria for availability.

Installation, Connections, Finishes

Sustainability and Energy

CMU are modular. The most common size is a nominal 8-by-8-by-16 inches. Door and window openings are positioned to minimize cutting of units. Walls that contain one vertical layer of units are called single wythe and two layers are double wythe.

Masonry is laid by skilled masons. They place mortar between units to tie them together. Masonry requires little machinery for placement: a mason and a trowel are the two main things necessary.

Concrete masonry is sustainable for a number of reasons. It can contain recycled materials. It is made from local materials and usually shipped short distances to a project. These aspects often contribute toward credits in green rating systems.

Walls, within and between them, are tied together with reinforcement. Joint reinforcement may be used along mortar joints to help control cracking in the wall. Anchors, plates, and other items that are common with other construction are used in masonry, too.

Masonry construction is energy eﬃcient, providing thermal mass to help moderate temperature in buildings. Lighter weight units are made with lightweight aggregate to help provide added thermal resistance. In addition, masonry walls can be insulated in a wide variety of ways.

It is most common to build single or double-wythe walls. When wythes are separated by a continuous vertical space, the assembly is known as a cavity wall. Units are held together by mortar. Reinforcement is placed into horizontal and vertical cavities as needed, with grout placed around it. This helps walls to carry loads and resist other forces acting on them.

Single wythe wall

Finishes are often simplified when using masonry. It can be sealed or painted. It can be plastered for aesthetics and improved moisture resistance. But in many cases, it is left exposed. This can be done with plain or architectural units. Some finishes are made specifically for durability in moist exposures, like locker rooms, pools, or kitchen or laundry facilities. These masonry surfaces are often brightly colored to provide a hard, attractive finish. CONCEPT AND FRAMEWORK

Fire Safety Concrete Masonry Walls do not burn. Depending on the thickness of the wall, the density of the units and the amount of grout used, concrete masonry walls can provide up to a four hour ﬁre rating. Additionally, concrete masonry walls pass the hose stream test unlike other ﬁre rated wall systems.

Sound Control Concrete Masonry Walls provide a high level of sound control. This can be advantageous if used in either interior walls between units such as apartments or dormitories or even on exterior walls as the backup to control unwanted outside noise. CMU walls can provide Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings up to 63 depending on the wall thickness, density of the units and whether they are fully grouted or not.

FEATURES & FABRICATION PROCESS OF IBS COMPONENTS

Features and Fabrication Process of IBS Components

2.2.1

Cast In-Situ Strip Foundation

Suitability In our case, a combination of post and beam blockwork system and load-bearing blockwork walls are chosen to form the main structure of the designed three-storey high apartment building. The post and beam blockwork system is proposed to complement the initial load-bearing blockwork wall system. This consideration is based on two points, which are climatic control and load resistance. Firstly, due to the hot climatic condition in Malaysia, it is best that the thickness of the blockwork wall is kept within a suitable range to ensure cool interior spaces. The post and beam blockwork system is able to reduce and share part of the original load supported by solely blockwork walls, which allows for thinner walls. Secondly, the post and beam system is eﬀective at resisting lateral loads, mostly due to application of beams. This would help to add a form of bracing and extra support to the blockwork walls.

Construction Method Construction Materials

The blockwork wall is still the main feature of this IBS system with the posts and beams integrated together with the wall. Therefore strip foundation can eﬀectively transfer these point and uniformly distributed loads from the superstructure into the ground with reduced risk of diﬀerential settlement.

: Cast in-situ : Reinforced Concrete with Rebar

Strip foundation is a type of shallow foundation that are used to provide a continuous, level strip of support to a linear structure such as wall that is built centrally above it. The uniformly distributed loads from the walls are then transferred evenly to the concrete strip that have been laid on earth. The strip will distribute the concentration of load sideways into a wider sub-strata to reduce settlement and bearing stress to an allowable limit. A trench is required to be excavated on site the strip foundation construction. Grout is used to ﬁll the cells without any voids. For there to be a continuous load path, rebar extends from the foundation and laps the wall rebar in the same cells, in the lowest courses of the walls. Concrete is then poured into to secure and stabilize the reinforcement bar.

Advantages ●

More economical as less excavation and building materials are required.

●

Reduces construction time as lesser time is required for concrete curing due to the small surface area.

Fabrication Process In our case, post and beam system and main exterior walls are constructed using the CMU blocks rather than lightweight concrete blocks. Our columns and beams made of the blocks are the main structural system that will bear the load of the whole building. CMU block with higher compressive strength will make the structure of the post and beam stronger.

Construction Method Construction Materials IBS Factors

: IBS - Blockwork system : Concrete : 0.5 (Half IBS Factor)

Concrete masonry unit (CMU) is a standard size load bearing block. Blocks may be solid or hollow with two or more cores. This feature reduces the cross-sectional area of the block by about one quarter. The advantage with this material is that its lighter weight makes it easier to work with. It can also be reinforced with rebar, either horizontally or vertically, depending the plans.

Preparation of raw materials

2. Crushing and mixing of raw materials

The concrete commonly used to make concrete blocks is a mixture of powdered cement, water, sand, and gravel. This produces a light gray block with a fine surface texture and a high compressive strength. However with different ratio of raw materials mixed during fabrication process to cater to the different design of blocks, the compressive strength of the blocks will vary as well. 3. Moulding and pressing the concrete mix

4. Concrete curing

Suitability In our case, post and beam system and main exterior walls are constructed using the CMU blocks rather than lightweight concrete blocks. Our columns and beams made of the blocks are the main structural system that will bear the load of the whole building.

: IBS - Precast Concrete System : Reinforced Concrete : 0.8 (Full IBS Factor)

Precast Concrete Hollow Core Slab have between 4 and 6 longitudinal cores running through them, the primary purpose of the cores being to decrease the weight, and material within the ﬂoor, yet maintain maximal strength. To further increase the strength, the slabs are reinforced with steel strands running longitudinally.

3. Pouring concrete and forming slab around the reinforcement

2. Pulling and attaching prestressing wires or strands

4. Marking and cutting notches, openings

Suitability In our case, the hollow core slabs with lightweight properties are chosen instead of the common precast concrete slab to reduce the structural weight. As post and beam block work system and block work walls are chosen as the main structure, the hollow core slab allows the insertion of reinforcement rebars that connects to the hollow block wall and columns. The reinforcement bar strengthen the structural integrity of these components. 5. Inspection

Prefabricated steel roof truss oﬀers a high strength, lightweight roof system that can be installed quickly upon arrival on site from manufacturer. As compared to timber trusses, steel roof trusses last more longer due to its resistance to termite. Its high strength properties required less maintenance although the initial cost is more expensive. There are many types of steel proﬁles used for roof trusses which includes, rectangular hollow section (RHS), Cchannel, etc.

Suitability In our case, by applying C-channel steel proﬁles with lightweight properties as main material for roof trusses instead of rectangular hollow section (RHS), to maintain the structural integrity. C-channel steel trusses are used in both gable and hip roof in this designed apartment block due to its easy installation, therefore reducing the completion time for the entire construction.

CAST IN-SITU STRIP FOUNDATION

5.1

Cast In-Situ Strip Foundation Foundation to Wall Connection Cast in-situ strip foundation is erected below the ground level. Grout is used to ďŹ ll the cells without any voids. For there to be a continuous load path, rebar extends from the foundation and laps the wall rebar in the same cells, in the lowest courses of the walls. Concrete is them poured into to secure and stabilize the reinforcement bar.

Reinforcement bar is inserted vertically to secure rows of blocks in place.

GROUTING AND REINFORCEMENTS

5.2

Grouting and Reinforcements Joint Reinforcement

Control Joint

Joint reinforcement is used in addition to horizontal steel bars when bond beams are spaced at more than 1200mm. It is a ladder of 9 gauge (3.7mm) galvanized wire installed in the mortar joint, which positions a wire in the centre of each block faceshell. It is spaced at either 600m, 400mm for stack pattern, or at 400mm in seismic zones. Joint reinforcement resists wall cracking and can contribute to the horizontal steel area in the wall.

A control joint is a continuous vertical joint ďŹ lled with mortar, but with a bond breaker on one side so that tensile stress cannot develop across the joint. A concrete masonry wall may crack when there is an absence of control joints as it will shrink over time.

GROUTING AND REINFORCEMENTS

5.2

Grouting and Reinforcements Low Lift Grouting Procedure Grouting techniques have been developed to ensure that walls are completely grouted. Low-lift and high lift grouting are both traditional grouting methods, with the difference being the height of lift. Lifts five feet or less are considered low lift while lifts greater than five feet are considered to be high lift.

Concrete Masonry Unit (CMU) Block Wall Running Bond Blockwork Arrangement Blockwork is used as the structural frame of the design. Thus the arrangement for the inﬁll walls of the structures are running bond. Running bond is the most used bond and is composed of stretchers oﬀset by ½ brick per course. Metal ties are used as there are no headers in this bond. Running bond is widely used in cavity wall construction and veneered walls of brick, and often in facing tile walls where the bonding may be accomplished by extra width stretcher tile.

CONCLUSION

Conclusion

This assignment has allowed us to gain more knowledge and understanding regarding the benefits and suitability of the proposed blockwork IBS system in the modern construction industry. We have gained valuable insight regarding the role and importance of this system in the construction evolution through various research studies, readings and investigations. We were also able to better grasp the construction methods of IBS system by physically assembling the model that is a representation of the actual on-site construction, allowing us to analyse how the various building elements are assembled and fitted together to construct a standalone building. Based on the IBS scoring system, a total IBS score of 85.7% was determined, justifying that the three-storey apartment block has complied to and achieved an optimum use of the IBS system. This demonstrates a coherent understanding of the application of IBS components in the design of the building which are fabricated within a controlled environment. The IBS system applied includes precast concrete blockwork, precast hollow core slabs, prefabricated steel trusses, doors and windows which have contributed towards our IBS score. In conclusion, the IBS system promises numerous and far-reaching benefits that can enhance construction sustainability and contribute significantly towards the Malaysian construction industry. Reduced construction time, better site management and reduced wastage are just the few out of many other benefits that will ultimately bring improvement to the country, hence the IBS system ought to be brought into full practice in Malaysia. For the IBS system to be even more effective, the concept of modular coordination must be applied. Moreover, the establishment of a long term comprehensive policy towards IBS will create a more efficient use of components and encourage more IBS friendly designs from consultants.
