Academic literature on the topic 'Operative Bricklayers'

The majority of the people in Harapan Baru Village, Loa Janan Ilir Sub-district work as manual laborers, for example as bricklayers, market workers, and construction workers. In addition, employment opportunities are also limited in number. Therefore, this community service is intended to provide SMAW welding training in collaboration with the Loa Janan Ilir District Community Empowerment Institute. The method used is the lecture, question and answer, and welding practice. The materials given are SMAW welding machine operating procedures, SMAW welding components and various welding joints. The result is to provide insight into the material and practice of SMAW welding as a provision for entrepreneurship and work seeking.

The comparative analysis of two options for investment and construction projects, with partial robotization of production and traditional work organization was conducted on the criterion of time and cost minimizing the of construction. The use of two robot types was considered, a bricklayer and a plasterer robot. As a comparison result of main quantitative indicators of construction organization plan, it was found that the use of robots reduced the duration of construction, expenditures and labor costs. Lack of fatiguability, lunch breaks, smoke breaks, conversations, illnesses, as well as round-the-clock operation, the absence of malicious intents, no theft and, therefore, procedural violations, composition disorders, etc., allows to look at the introduction prospect of construction robots with optimism.

This study presents an innovative solution for a mobile robotic unit intended for the construction industry, the task of which is to automate time-consuming and burdensome masonry work performed manually using bricklayers. A ZSM mobile robotic bricklaying system (ZSM in Polish Zrobotyzowany System Murarski) was designed and developed in a demonstration version. The mobile ZSM consists of an ABB six degrees-of-freedom (6 DoF) industrial robot with a replaceable hydraulic gripper, a Hinowa tracked undercarriage with a hydraulic unit, hydraulic lifting and leveling module, a brick warehouse, a brick belt feeder, a mortar applicator, a control cabinet, and a control panel. Simulation tests were performed in a virtual ABB RobotStudio environment to verify the functioning of the robot and individual ZSM modules during the bricklaying process. ZSM control is based on the Siemens Simatic S7-1500 programmable controller in the fail-safe version, which supervises the correct operation of all devices. ZSM was tested under laboratory conditions and on the construction site. The robotic technological process of building a wall consists of the following stages: the robot grips the bricks, picks them up, manipulates them, applies mortar to them, and places them on the wall.

A construção civil é uma área com baixo grau de mecanização e grande utilização de mão de obra. Parte dessa mão de obra é composta por profissionais de nível operacional (pedreiros, carpinteiros, eletricistas, etc.) que, na maioria das vezes aprendem a profissão nos próprios canteiros de obra. O objetivo desse trabalho é descrever o processo de elaboração e reflexões em torno de uma proposta de curso na modalidade Formação Inicial Continuada (FIC) a ser ofertado no campus Ouro Preto do Instituto Federal de Minas Gerais, a partir de princípios da pedagogia do renomado educador Paulo Freire. Para isso, foi adotada a metodologia qualitativa, com uma revisão bibliográfica a respeito de variáveis que envolvem o delineamento de um curso FIC na área de construção civil. A literatura aponta aspectos como o perfil sociodemográfico do público-alvo, técnicas de ensino específicas para adultos (andragogia) e a formação humanista como fundamento de práticas educativas para a conscientização e a emancipação dos sujeitos.

ABSTRACT In Brazil, civil construction has low degree of mechanization and high dependence of labor, and manpower has few or no qualifications. The workers, as bricklayers, electricians, carpenters and others, in most cases, learned a profession with the coworkers in the work site. This paper aims to propose a curse to qualify unskilled and older workers, as well as workers of other areas that want to migrate to civil construction. This curse would be offered inside the Instituto Federal de Minas Gerais, in the campus Ouro Preto. A bibliographic review was done addressing issues as the wide age ranges of the students, social origins and occupations, teaching strategies focused on adults (andragogy), and humanist formation.

Master of Philosophy
Australian government policy today aims to ‘deregulate’ industrial relations. A fractured system has ensued where uncontrolled market forces disrupt both business and unions. The building industry is particularly affected by uncertainty and industrial barbarism. Precisely one hundred years ago government policy was to create order, becoming directly involved in industrial regulation. This thesis aims to understand how building unions maintained their rates and conditions in the pre-arbitration era when there were no legislative minimums, and it seeks to place their labour relations within a political and ideological context. The thesis criticises historical scholarship surrounding artisan unionism in Britain and Australia, in particular the role of building tradesmen. Positive relations between employers and employed in the industry are often described in pejorative terms with tradesmen labelled ‘aristocrats of labour’ – apolitical, middle class and lacking class-awareness. The thesis argues this view does not adequately describe the qualities of building operatives, or place their motives within a ‘deregulated’ industrial context. To demonstrate nineteenth century building industry unionism in NSW had a broader nature, the thesis looks at British trade union radicalism. It examines both changes in structure and ideology caused by growing industrialisation and competitive organisation affecting building tradesmen known as general contracting, as well as continuity and differences in ideas of social change and progress. The thesis connects the ideology of British and colonial building unions in this regard. It then turns to the lives, work and society of nineteenth century building workers in Sydney and the make-up of their organisations. The thesis seeks to understand the political and ideological aspects of Australian building unionism and the effects of general contracting and competition. Central to the discussion is the influence of the Co-operative movement, and the significance of the struggle for the eight-hour day to the labour movement. Both were progressive responses to unfettered market forces on the trade. It argues that the challenges faced by operatives in maintaining conditions led them to develop politically, creating ‘modern’ class representation and ideology. The thesis ends with a chapter that examines the evidence before the 1891 NSW Royal Commission into Strikes showing the building industry to be characterised by conflict, co-operation, and radicalism. Unionists expressed progressive ideology and industrial militancy but maintained positive relationships with certain employers for whom they provided market security. The trade-off for efforts in this respect was recognition that union rules would be the primary form of industrial regulation. Their system, however, was ultimately unsustainable because of competitive pressures, and industrial militancy against builders outside the system flourished. In conclusion, the thesis suggests that nineteenth century building workers improved and maintained industrial standards by militant unionism, and yet, at the same time, by forming co-operative relations with employers. In dealing with the corrosive effect of market deregulation that undermined control over their trade, operatives also built progressive organisations which forged working class unity and developed politically advanced ideologies of social change. Their ideas and practices were at times unsuccessful or contradictory, but building unionists were not inward-looking ‘labour aristocrats’.
