- Description: Abstract: The entire world is facing a housing crisis since the collapse of the economic, and affordability of the conventional construction method house is becoming more expensive each day creating a housing backlog. This housing backlog can be resolved using, non-conventional building technologies, which is also called alternative building technologies or innovative building technologies. However, the public are concerned over the use of non-conventional building technologies. The safety and durability of the technology is in doubt, even though houses built with non-conventional technologies are affordable, flexible, and environmentally friendly. The critical issue is that data on the long-term structural performance and assessment of non-conventional building technologies are not available to convince the public to invest in this technology. This research study is to investigate the non-conventional building technologies housing sample built in 2008 at the National Home Builders Registration Council Eric Molobi Centre Soshanguwe. One sample of the buildings was chosen and the long-term structural performance was simulated by using ABAQUS software through Finite Element Analysis (FEA). The outcomes provide more information regarding the durability of the non-conventional building technologies... , M.Ing. (Structural Engineering)
