“…Higher resistance to the block removal is provided with the interlocking features of the assembly [181]. The interlocking coupled to the initial prestress also increase the shear resistance [202]. Interlocking structures exhibit up to an 85% improvement in impact resistance and up to 70% greater energy absorption in comparison to a non-interlocking brick structure [184].…”

Modern economic, social and environmental challenges require a new type of construction that ensures resilience, low construction costs and ease of maintenance. Material production, manufacturing of structural elements and final assembly should minimise the environmental impacts, such as greenhouse emissions and waste production. This review aims to identify the key routes of research and development required to address the environmental challenges the construction industry faces. It outlines recent advances and highlights the rising opportunities. The strategies with great perspectives include 3D concrete printing, prefabrication and modular construction, mortarless construction, development and utilization of sustainable, smart and composite materials, renewable energy systems and automation technologies including the Digital Twin technology. Hybrid approaches that combine traditional and novel construction methods present the greatest potential. Overall, collaboration between stakeholders is crucial in driving innovation and successfully implementing these advancements.

Topologically interlocked assemblies have traditionally been explored to study properties such as strength, toughness and fatigue when applied axial compressive load. The interlocked assemblies are used in real-life applications ranging from the aerospace industry to the construction sector. This concept is generally applied to segmented blocks to study what parameters affect failure and how the failure occurs. The Segmented interlocked assemblies are investigated to optimize performance and weight compared to a monolithic design with poor strength characteristics. Strength to weight ratio is beneficial to applications where the efficiency of the product relies heavily on the weight. This study is performed on the 3D printed cubes with interlocking geometric slots, and the segmented cubes were investigated for failure through a three-point bending test under different conditions. The study used parameters such as speed of testing, lubrication between blocks, and the shape of the slots. This paper makes use of the Taguchi design of experiments in combination with grey relational analysis to optimize the parameters. Different lubrications were used to create a variation in friction between the blocks simply. After processing the data, it was concluded that the best condition was a circle shape, with lubrication #1 at an indenter speed of 10mm/min, followed by a circle and dry at 5mm/min. Triangle shape with lubrication #1 at a speed of 5mm/min was third in terms of the overall rank. According to the results, the worst-performing condition was a circle shape with lubrication #2 at a 1mm/min speed.

The building and construction industry is a traditional industry that features high-capacity investment, long return period, high environment impact, and low technology demand in the past decades. With the fast development of technology and the demand for environmental sustainability, it is inevitable for the building and construction industry to embrace the revolution of technology. Intelligent construction is developed in light of advanced technologies including advanced computing technology, 3D design and manufacturing, automation and control, sensing, unmanned aircraft, and autonomous intelligence. It is also closely integrated with using perceived, analytical, decision-making coordination for building construction with perceived intelligent execution technology in the processes. Currently, there is no consensus definition on “intelligent construction” despite its rapid development. This paper reviews existing and current development in intelligent construction focusing on the following three aspects: (a) new structural forms, which are innovative and with potential or are being applied to automated and mass manufacturing/construction; (b) automated and intelligent construction system; and (c) advanced structure sensing and monitoring technology. These three components do not compromise the entire aspects for intelligent construction, but they have no doubt are the core elements for intelligent construction towards future building systems.
