Purpose This paper aims to analyze the current state of technological advancements research in addressing the diverse risk factors involved in earthmoving equipment operations through Rasmussen's (1997) risk management framework. It examines how existing technologies research capture, manage and disseminate risk information across various levels of...

The dynamic and complex nature of the construction industry leads to increased project uncertainty, exposing construction projects to various risks and hazards. Poor risk management can hinder project objectives. Therefore, implementing effective risk management strategies can enhance project quality, safety, and ensure on-time, under-budget comple...

The effective management of construction projects is essential due to their inherent complexity and substantial financial implications. In this regard, the project planning and control domain plays a vital role in successful project execution, which requires data-driven and knowledge-based decisions to navigate these complexities and ensure success...

Analysis of literature and industry practices in applied planning and control systems reveals a notable lack of effective processes and stakeholders' understanding regarding the optimal use of these systems. These gaps underscore the urgent need for a refined understanding and discovery of the underlying concepts of existing systems to address the...

Scientific contributions to BIM-sustainability integration have gained momentum in recent years due to the influential role of BIM as a well-accepted approach for sustainable construction practices. In this regard, some systematic reviews and informatic analysis papers have addressed this topic. Although these papers have provided useful insights,...

Urban public spaces are pivotal to the welfare and prosperity of modern cities. Recognizing their importance, this research addresses the critical gap in understanding and enhancing the qualities of these spaces through advanced analytics, focusing on Tehran's main traditional market, the Bazaar. A novel methodological framework combining Social Ne...

With the advancement of emerging technologies, significant attempts have been made to develop collaborative planning methods and to involve as many project stakeholders as possible in the construction project planning and control process. However, inadequate consideration has been paid to the characteristics, goals, and principles underlying these...

Purpose In academics and industry, significant efforts have been made to lead planners and control teams in evaluating project performance and control. In this context, numerous control metrics have been devised and put into practice, often with little emphasis on analyzing their underlying concepts. To cover this gap, this research aims to identif...

The construction industry has made significant efforts to address the issues of low productivity caused by inefficient construction planning and scheduling. This issue led to more focus on integrating scheduling methods in existing studies without comprehensively analyzing the integration’s goals and objectives. In this regard, this study aims to p...

The shortcomings and limitations of conventional planning and scheduling methods led to a great deal of emphasis on combining them and developing integrated scheduling methods. Also, lean principles and tools are included in the integrated scheduling methods' structure to develop more effective scheduling strategies. This paper implements a multi-s...

Non-informatics cost estimation is a tedious process and requires substantial amount of time and manual operations. However , BIM adoption approaches have attracted significant attention with this respect. Since BIM models are object-based with built-in parametric information, it is easier to capture the quantities of building elements and deliver...

A significant number of injuries and fatalities occur annually due to fire in buildings. The proactive use of fire safety measures at the design stage can potentially lead to a considerable improvement in reducing casualties by assisting occupants in a safe evacuation. In this study, a framework is developed to obtain a set of appropriate fire safe...

Welcome to the 21st International Conference on Construction Applications of Virtual Reality (CONVR 2021). This year we are meeting on-line due to the current Coronavirus pandemic. The overarching theme for CONVR2021 is " Industry4.0 Applications for Full Lifecycle Integration of Buildings". CONVR is one of the world-leading conferences in the area...

A wearable electroencephalogram (EEG) is considered a means for investigating psychophysiological conditions of individuals in the workplace in order to ameliorate occupational health and safety. Following other sectors, construction scholars have adopted this technology over the past decade to strengthen evidence-based practices to improve the wel...

This paper aims at proposing a new insight into the context of construction management from the Promise Theory point of view. The theory advocates decentralization and forming a network of localized components, connected to each other in a chain of promises. Such method has been examined in configuration management systems, knowledge management and...

Cost is one of the most important criteria for evaluating the success of a construction project. Estimating construction costs is an increasing necessity for accurate budgeting and effective allocation of funding since the lack of accuracy in cost estimation could increase the risk of cost overrun. One of the major difficulties in estimating the pr...

Concrete pouring represents a major critical path activity that is often affected by design limitations, structural considerations and on-site operational constraints. As such, meticulous planning is required to ensure that both the aesthetic and structural integrity of joints between cast in-situ components is achieved. Failure to adequately plan...

As building practices change, procedures that seemed indispensable at one point can be abandoned for others, one example of which is the bill of quantities (B/Q). Research into the extant literature attributes the declining use of B/Qs to a multitude of reasons, such as its complexity, the potentially long time required to produce it, the growth in...
