Building Information Modeling (BIM) and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) integration is changing how construction projects are managed, making them more efficient by reducing mistakes and delays. This combination is crucial for better project coordination and integration in the Architecture, Engineering, and Construction (AEC) industry. Using B...

The growing adoption of Building Information Modeling (BIM) within the architectural, engineering, and construction (AEC) sector raises questions about the quality of BIM data deliverables for project owners. Therefore, assessment and evaluation of such BIM data against relevant documents such as the BIM Execution Plan (BEP), the Level of Definitio...

Transportation of prefabricated modules is a critical process in modular construction and can cause additional stresses which may damage individual modules, leading to additional costs and time during the installation and operational phase if damaged parts are not timely restored or replaced. Therefore, utilizing a tracking and condition monitoring...

Purpose To mitigate the problems in sensor-based facility management (FM) such as lack of detailed visual information about a built facility and the maintenance of large scale sensor deployments, an integrated data source for the facility’s life cycle should be used. Building information modeling (BIM) provides a useful visual model and database th...

A comfortable thermal indoor environment is crucial for occupants’ well-being and productivity. Building Management System (BMS) is usually used to monitor the thermal condition of buildings. One of BMS’s main challenges is in the data visualization stage, in which 2D vector graphics are used, which is not fully interactive and can only be manipula...

The essentiality of Vibration-Based Damage Identification (VBDI) in monitoring the health of civil engineering structures has been highly emphasized by a considerable amount of studies. The more precise a VBDI method would become, the more efficient the data management system would be essential to be devoted to it. However, due to neglecting the es...

Energy consumption in buildings constitutes a significant portion of the total energy demand in Canada (about 40%). While the design and construction of energy efficient buildings are gaining momentum, it is important to have an integrated process for the design. The present article focuses on the integrated design process at the conceptual phase t...

Modular buildings or off-site construction of building units are increasingly gaining momentum. Although such construction practices have advantages in terms of cost competitiveness and delivery time, they have many issues related to structural integrity and secondary stresses from vibration during transit and misalignment during installation. Ther...

Interpretation of Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) image is an essential process in bridge deck condition assessment. For this purpose, raw GPR images should be clear and more comprehensible. A GPR image usually has some blurriness and noise due to the lack of illumination and environmental conditions. Image processing techniques offer some preproces...

The non-structural elements (NSEs) of a building could be hazardous in the event of an earthquake. Hence, a seismic risk assessment is critical for identifying hazardous elements. This paper proposes a method for visualizing a building’s NSEs to assess their seismic risks using Building Information Modelling (BIM) to visualize and automatically map...

The roof system includes a plurality of ceramic chambers each including a wind turbine and a recess for housing a planter area.

One of the issues in Structural Health Monitoring (SHM) have to deal with huge amount of original raw data as well as all post-processed data which can add up to hundreds of Gigabytes or even more. Therefore, effective data management is a significant task which cannot be implemented properly except by using appropriate tools. Building Information...

Modular construction technology is a factory-based construction technique that the building’s units, called modules, are fabricated in a manufacturing plant, then shipped to the construction site and are installed there to form a modular building. Modular building design is more complex than conventional ones due to the additional manufacturing pro...

The outcomes of bridge inspection are represented by condition rate. Condition rate means the comparison between current conditions and as-built conditions. Generally, condition rating uses some range of numbers that expresses the qualitative condition such as: excellent, good, fair and poor. Bridge Management Systems (BMSs)such as National Bridge...

Modular building construction is a factory-based construction technique that the building’s units, called modules, are fabricated in a manufacturing plant, then shipped to the construction site and are installed there to form a building. Modular building design is more complex than conventional one due to the additional processes needed such as man...

Structures such as buildings, bridges, dams, wind turbines etc. need to be maintained against various factors such as deterioration, excessive loads, environment, temperature, etc. Choosing an appropriate monitoring system is important for determining any critical damage to a structure and address that to avoid any adverse consequence. Structural H...

Structural vibration means repetitive motion that causes fatigue and reduction of the performance of a structure. An earthquake may release a high amount of energy that can have an adverse effect on all components of a structure. Therefore, decreasing of vibration or maintaining the performance of structures such as bridges, dams, roads, and buildi...

A sustainable building is constructed of materials that could decrease environmental impacts, such as energy usage, during the life-cycle of the building. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been identified as an effective tool for the virtual analysis of a building’s performance in the design stage to determine the designs that have the larges...

A sustainable building is constructed of materials that could decrease environmental impacts, such as energy usage, during the lifecycle of the building. Building Information Modeling (BIM) has been identified as an effective tool for building performance analysis virtually in the design stage. The main aims of this study were to assess various com...

Concrete is the main material used in most of structures in the world. The use of high strength and high performance concrete to overcome deterioration due to static and dynamic load and some environmental burden in different situation such as chloride attack, sulphate attack and etc, is increasing worldwide. Achieving to a concrete with a high qua...

Energy costs are continuing to rise as the Earth's fossil fuel resources diminish. In addition, the population of the earth is increasing, meaning that the use of these scarce resources will increase at a faster rate than in the past. Inevitably, the result will be continuing increases in the Earth's temperature, resulting in widespread climate cha...

Dissatisfaction among involved parties regarding the ways of cost allocation is ordinary in the joint ventures, since each party attempts to get more interest caused by making the coalition. Various cost allocation methods such as proportional methods, some methods in cooperative game theory approach and etc have been used for the purpose of cost s...

one of the main disadvantages in constructing world house is high cost of the building. High cost of primary requirements for constructing the houses in places on where people are under poverty line, is forming one of the most significant problems of people. On the other hand, urbanization growth will increase rubbish especially non-renewable ones....

Nowadays, the costs of Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are considered as the main proportion of workers compensation related costs in the construction industry. Lack of paying attention to reducing work-related MSDs also known as Cumulative Trauma Disorders and establishing remedial program will lead to injury gradually to some significant parts o...
