MONTHLY ASSESSMENT - I (Observation, Empathy and Define Phase)

(DATE :03/08/20)
1. Why students/team have taken above mentioned domain? (Please specify the reason)
(Note: For more content or information, one may attach additional pages to this
card.)

2. How frequently student team has gone for observation on field, mention with date, place,
time etc.? Which are the key observations that they have noticed?

Due to this pandemic we have not done any site observation but through
online medium, we have seen many demolition sites, where demolition of
existing structure was on progress. Which machinery used and where they
dump debris.

3. A. How many interactions/interviews team members have done?

As mentioned earlier due to this pandemic no interaction were possible but

we have read and got information through literature.

B. Who are the user and various stakeholders on domain? Describe their persona (Name,
age, occupation/education, roles and responsibility etc.)

Everyone would like to use recycled concrete at low cost. But precisely,
Contractor and private companies can use recycled material.

C. List out the questions asked by team while having observation and interview?

1) Recycling process start to end. 2) Size of Aggregate produced by recycling. 3) Cost of

production of recycled aggregate/ton. 4) Which material recycled i.e. Concrete waste and
masonry waste. 5) Machinery cost and initial cost 6) Performance of recycled conc.

4. What is something special/random/unusual (i.e. activity, environment, interaction,

object or user) team have observed at the domain? Please elaborate the conditions with
photographs if available.

Recycling of demolished debris saves energy. Ultimately the Overall Cost

of Recycled concrete decreases as compared to traditional concrete.

5. Enlist any five major problems observed by your team in the respective domain. Mention
any one for which you have empathize user the most and which might become your
problem statement. Give reasons of selection of particular problem/issue based on
empathy.

When material is recycled and ready, there is some portion of hydrated

paste stuck on the aggregate. So if such aggregate is used in manufacturing
of new concrete, cement could not create good bond between aggregates.
Which lead to less strength of concrete.

Due to Segregation, lower strength, bleeding, honey comb, moisture/water

content absorption by cement paste on recycled aggregates.

6. Define your “PROBLEM DEFINITION” for the project as per below format. Which
might be refine till end of Ideation phase if you wish.
