Keywords:
Modern Architectural Relics, Reinforcement Sleeve Concrete Grouting Connection (RSCGC), Restoration Techniques, Prefabricated Concrete Technology, Structural PreservationAbstract
This study explores the potential of Reinforcement Sleeve Concrete Grouting Connection (RSCGC) technology as an innovative solution for restoring modern architectural relics. With the degradation of materials such as concrete, steel, and prefabricated components in contemporary buildings, the study aims to evaluate how this advanced restoration method can enhance the structural integrity and longevity of modern buildings while preserving their historical and cultural value. This research utilizes the systematic review method, examining 21 peer-reviewed journal articles, case studies, and technical reports on restoration methods and prefabricated construction technology. The research aims to analyze the potential of RSCGC in enhancing material compatibility, structural reinforcement, and authenticity preservation. The case studies comprise theoretical implementations and actual instances, providing an overall insight into the effectiveness of the technology across various settings. An analytical framework was employed to group restoration techniques by their compatibility with contemporary materials and their capacity for increasing the longevity of contemporary building structures. The findings suggest that RSCGC offers significant advantages over traditional restoration methods, including improved structural durability, faster application times, and compatibility with modern construction materials. It also offers enhanced sustainability by reducing material waste and minimizing long-term maintenance costs. However, the study also identifies the need for more diverse case studies and long-term empirical data to fully assess the technology’s effectiveness in various contexts. This study contributes to the growing body of knowledge on integrating advanced construction technologies into heritage conservation practices. It highlights the importance of modernizing restoration approaches to preserve modern architectural heritage, offering a potential paradigm shift in conservation strategies.
