Rapid Monolithic Disaster-Proof Construction Technology for Housing

Abstract

Rapid monolithic disaster-proof construction technology represents a promising solution to the urgent need for resilient and sustainable housing in disaster-prone regions. This technology integrates advanced materials, innovative design techniques, and automated construction processes to create durable, cost-effective, and quickly deployable housing units. The monolithic approach eliminates the vulnerabilities of traditional construction methods by utilizing a single, continuous structure that can withstand natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, and hurricanes. The review explores the development of these technologies, including materials like reinforced concrete, geopolymer concrete, and composite materials, and their application in the construction of disaster-resistant homes. The paper also examines the role of automation, 3D printing, and prefabrication in enhancing speed and reducing labour costs. The effectiveness of rapid monolithic disaster-proof housing in terms of sustainability, affordability, and adaptability is critically analyzed, along with challenges such as scalability and resource availability. This literature review provides a comprehensive understanding of the current state of the technology and its potential for revolutionizing the housing industry in disaster-prone areas, offering valuable insights into future research and development.
