It is a form of construction familiar since Alexander passed through on his way to India – labour-intensive, unskilled, hot, heavy repetitive work to create a dense durable mass that the Afghan experience has shown is largely impervious to rocket grenades, resistant to small arms fire, and may reduce the devastating effects of a bomb blast.

Particular attention is given to non-destructive testing and sensors for monitoring the durability of structures as well as a novel form of construction called 'flexible arch'.
We report preliminary results on implementing the production of sentences using Template Construction Grammar (TCG), a new form of construction grammar distinguished by its use of SemRep to express semantics.
Inspired by the idea of concrete filled steel tube (CFT), a new form of construction component named ice filled steel tube (IFT), which effectively combines the advantages of both ice and steel tube, was innovatively proposed in this study.
