Proceedings of the 5th International Conference on Sustainable Civil Engineering Structures and Construction Materials
This book compiles papers presented during the 5th International Conference on Sustainable Civil Engineering Structures and Construction Materials (SCESCM) held virtually in December 2020. This is the fifth edition of this conference series; the theme for the 5th SCESCM is “Transforming the World, Foster the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs),” and it focuses on various issues, novel findings, as well as developments in the area of civil and infrastructure, conforming to the SDGs. This book caters to postgraduate students, researchers, and practitioners involved in advocating and embedding sustainability in various phases of design, construction and maintenance of civil engineering structures and infrastructure facilities.
Handbook of Research on Driving Transformational Change in the Digital Built Environment
The construction industry is amidst a digital transformation that is focused on addressing well-documented issues and calls for significant improvements and changes through increased productivity, whole-life value, client focus, reduction of waste, and being more sustainable. The key aspect to driving change and transformation is the education and upskilling of the required workforce towards developing the required capacities. Various approaches can be taken to embed digital construction within education and through collaborative efforts in order to drive change and facilitate improvements. The Handbook of Research on Driving Transformational Change in the Digital Built Environment focuses o...
Handbook of Construction Safety, Health and Well-being in the Industry 4.0 Era
This Handbook seeks to examine and advance current understanding of the confluence of construction health, safety and well-being and the broad range of Industry 4.0 technologies in use in the architecture, engineering and construction (AEC) industry. Globally, the construction sector accounts for more than 100,000 occupational fatalities annually. In many countries, reports of work-related accidents, injuries and illnesses are commonplace, and there is an urgent need to improve the occupational safety and health (OSH) outlook of the construction sector. The fourth industrial revolution presents opportunities to leverage modern technologies (e.g., big data, artificial intelligence, automation...
Advances in Civil Engineering Materials
This book presents selected articles from the 4th International Conference on Architecture and Civil Engineering 2020, held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. Written by leading researchers and industry professionals, the papers highlight recent advances and address the current issues in the fields of civil engineering and architecture.
The Integration of Production and Environmental Approaches in Managing Construction Site Water Pollution
Water pollution from the construction site is likely to negatively affect the environment as well as the economic and social well-being of people. Sediment production, the major trigger of site water pollution has commonly been managed using mitigation approaches, in isolation from the production planning. However, the segregation between the undiscovered, yet interrelated factors that affect the practice of site water pollution management and production planning causes waste in time, cost and resources. This study proposes an integrated solution that addresses both the production and environmental factors involved in reducing the risk of site water pollution. The study has been conducted us...
Unpacking the Decent Work Agenda in Construction Operations for Developing Countries
Low construction labour productivity and the inadequate welfare of construction workers are consistent challenges in developing countries. These challenges are partially due to shortcomings situated in the Decent Work Agenda. This book proposes ways of sustaining construction labour productivity through fulfilling the Decent Work Agenda. This is a unique area of focus that is essential to fulfilling the broader and global aspects of decent work, sustainability and construction labour productivity. Also, the focus of this book is on contributing to the plight of construction workers whose treatment is significantly unsound. The construction industry needs to develop a humanistic face and cont...
Wirksamkeit der Taktplanung aus Perspektive des Bauherrn am Beispiel von Produktionsimmobilien in der Automobilindustrie
Diese Arbeit analysiert den terminlichen Effekt, der durch den Einsatz der Taktplanung im Bauablauf aus Perspektive des Bauherrn auftritt. Es werden Mechanismen zur Manipulation der Projektdurchlaufzeit erarbeitet und weiterführende Wirkungen beschrieben. Für einen sinnvollen Umgang mit den zeitreduzierenden Effekten werden abschließend drei Parameter abgeleitet. Die Erkenntnisse der Arbeit werden in einer Handlungsempfehlung für Bauherren zum Einsatz der Taktplanung zusammengefasst. - This work analyses the time effect that occurs due to the use of takt planning and takt control during the construction process from the perspective of the client. At first the historical courses of takt planning and takt control (TPTC) are aggregated. For an appropriate handling of the time reducing mechanisms three parameters are derived. The findings of this work are summarized into a recommendation for the use of takt planning for owners.
Driving Transformational Change in the Digital Built Environment
"This book focuses on some of the current developments in practice and education within the construction industry towards facilitating the transformation in the digitally-built environment. In particular, from a practice perspective, developments are presented to enhance the client's understanding of digitally-enabled collaboration, interoperability and open standards, and maturity/capability and offers approaches to embedding digital construction within education"--
