Virtual building for construction projects

IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 2004
Although computer-aided design is widely used in the architecture-engineering-construction (AEC) industry, the exchange of information is still largely a manual process, where 2D paper drawings are reviewed to identify conflicts. Obviously, this process is time consuming and inefficient - not only do many conflicts go undetected but it's nearly ...

Systematizing Construction Project Evaluations

Journal of Management in Engineering, 1996
Present trends toward multiparticipant megaprojects have heightened the need for effective and efficient evaluations by stakeholders, both of themselves and of fellow participants. Feedback from such evaluations helps improve the management of ongoing and oncoming projects. It also assists in a more objective selection of suitable organizational and/or

Ethics in construction project briefing

Science and Engineering Ethics, 2004
The research reported in this paper set out to investigate ethics in the initial stages of construction projects. Briefing is the first real contact stage between the commissioner (client/employer) of a project--at this stage a potential project--and those involved in project realization--the designers and, subsequently, the constructors.

Calculation of contingency in construction projects

IEEE Transactions on Engineering Management, 2003
This paper presents a probabilistic model that considers the random nature of change orders and their impact on the cost and schedule of a construction project. The model incorporates uncertainties in project cost and schedule and calculates the contingency based on the level of confidence specified by the owner.

Injury minimization in construction projects

Injury Control and Safety Promotion, 2004
Over many years, a great deal of effort has gone into reducing the number of people who are killed and injured as a result of performing construction work. Despite countless health and safety initiatives and campaigns, the industry remains dangerous. We believe that there are more effective ways of improving the safety of construction work.

Constructing the Infimum of Two Projections

2012
An elementary algorithm for computing the infimum of two projections in a Hilbert space is examined constructively. It is shown that in order to obtain a constructive convergence proof for the algorithm, one must add some hypotheses such as Markov's principle or the locatedness of a certain range; and that in the finite-dimensional case, the existence ...

The ART of compiler construction projects

ACM SIGPLAN Notices, 2003
Student projects in compiler construction courses are often limited to the implementation of toy languages, making the project's scope manageable but also restricting the number of interesting input programs. ART (Array Removal Transformation) is a language whose compiler translates array-based ART programs into array-less toy language programs which ...

Project designers' role in improving constructability of Indonesian construction projects

Construction Management and Economics, 2007
The concept of constructability in the US evolved from studies into how improvement can be achieved to increase cost efficiency and quality in the construction industry. It is an approach that links the design and construction processes. Studies in the US, UK and Australia have demonstrated that improved constructability has led to significant savings ...
