Production Monitoring and Process Improvement for Floor Panel Manufacturing
Authors: Ritter Chelsea , Li Xinming , Al-Hussein Mohamed
Published: April 2019

Panelized home construction allows for the construction of homes to be completed in a factory, but in only two dimensions, compared to the three dimensional module that is produced in modular construction facilities. Keeping the panels detached until they reach the final destination permits for more efficient transport of panels and allows the factory to be divided into more specialized areas. This paper presents a case study of an established panelized home manufacturer, where the floor production area is identified as an area for potential process improvement. Possible areas for process improvement are identified by conducting a time study, carrying out observation, and constructing a simulation model in which potential process improvements can be tested. Opportunities are identified for process improvement, and the anticipated results of implementing certain changes are quantified through the use of simulation in order to aid management in making decisions regarding which changes are to be implemented and in what order. Some possible areas for improvement of the floor production area, including reducing the waiting time for the multi-function bridge by manually applying glue, aligning the joists in the correct orientation prior to their reaching the floor jig to eliminate the need to rotate the joists, and installing a bridge for sheathing board delivery that eliminates the time spent walking to retrieve the sheathing boards.
Measuring and Tracking Externalized Work to Support Industrialized Construction
Authors: Daneshgari Perry , Moore Heather , Said Hisham
Published: April 2019

The same principles that have made other skilled-trade-based industries more efficient are being deployed in construction through Industrialization, which requires understanding skilled trade work and segregating/externalizing the work from the jobsite. The construction industry still relies heavily on skilled trades and their tacit knowledge, while most of the information available at the points of installation is not passed on. A significant increase of work externalization requires a measuring and tracking method that can: 1) tap into this tacit knowledge as the basis for work planning and control; and 2) understand, quantify, and minimize the manipulation effort done onsite for the prefabricated assemblies. As such, this paper presents a planning and control framework for industrialized construction operations that integrates information entropy and the novel concept of work manipulations to monitor and measure the expected performance outcomes, in a more sophisticated approach beyond measuring äóìhoursäó� and äóìquantitiesäó� of the work. The development of the proposed framework is based on the analysis of a set of case studies that illustrate the impact of information predictability manipulation strategies on construction prefabrication decisions.

Authors: Li Xinming , Han SangHyeok , Gul Mustafa , Al-Hussein Mohamed
Published: April 2019

The construction manufacturing industry in North America has a disproportionately high number of lost-time injuries due to the higher physical demand of labour-intensive tasks. It is thus essential to investigate the physical demands of body movement in the workplace in order to identify worker exposure to ergonomic risk. This paper presents a methodology for converting video-captured body movements in an actual manufacturing plant into 3D virtual animations for ergonomic risk analysis. Through 3D virtual animation, dynamic human body data can be obtained (such as joint angles) for body posture risk assessment analysis using existing risk assessment algorithms. The presented framework enables body motion risk identification by detecting awkward body postures, evaluating handled force/load and frequency that cause ergonomic risk during body movements of workers. The capability of the 3D modelling can be extended to support the re-design of the workplace and optimization of human body movement accordingly in order to mitigate ergonomic risk. The methodology is implemented in a case study in order to analyze operational tasks in manufacturing plants. Modified work recommendations are expected as a result of this systematic 3D ergonomic analysis which will further reduce potential injuries and workersäó» compensation insurance costs in the long term.

Authors: Jung Youngsoo , Lee Ikhaeng , Kim Sungrae , Lee Yunsub
Published: April 2019

In an attempt to disseminate traditional Korean culture, a comprehensive research has been initiated by Korean government in order to modernize Korean traditional housing (Hanok) with the objectives of improved energy performance and affordable construction cost. This äóÖHanokäó» project encompasses a wide spectrum of housing research including public policies, planning methods, standard design documents, new building materials and methods, construction standards, maintenance manuals, and advanced IT applications in an integrated manner. One of the biggest challenges in this äóÖHanokäó» project was to modernize the äóÖtraditional timber structureäó» for industrialization, while keeping the traditional way of aesthetic representation. As a solution to meet this complicated requirement, a hybrid timber system was developed by combining traditional methods and industrialized modular members. Different timbers and methods are used together for different part of house elements resulting in cost reduction by 50% for the timber frame. Major criteria for applying different methods include the aesthetic representation, economy, and deformation behaviour of wood. Automated computer numeric control (CNC) machine, standard 3D-CAD objects, standard classifications, and computer applications were also developed in order to make this hybrid system economically feasible. This paper introduces the hybrid timber system for Hanok along with supportive application systems for industrialization. Three mock-up projects, actually built as part of this research project, are compared and analysed in order to illustrate how the proposed hybrid timber system has evolved during the research and development. Lessons learned and future directions will be also briefly discussed.

Authors: Pang Sze Dai , Liew J Y Richard Liew , Dai Ziquan , Wang Yanbo
Published: April 2019

Prefabricated Prefinished Volumetric Construction (PPVC), also known as volumetric modular construction has recently been adopted for high-rise building construction. However, efficient ways of joining the volumetric units on site have not been well developed. The intended high productivity is thus hindered and costs of the PPVC buildings are considerably higher than traditional construction methods. Additionally, issues such as module alignment and water penetration are often exposed during the assembly of modules. Moreover, local code requirements and geographical varieties often lead to different priorities and concerns in the development of joining techniques. This paper focuses on the generic joining techniques adopted in PPVC systems. Three joining methods are presented based on the different locations where the tightening of bolted connection occurs. The methods are evaluated based on the proposed constructability criteria and structural performance. The information gathered is useful for designers and contractors to understand the priorities and issues when developing new joining techniques.

Authors: Salim K M Emtiaz , Awad Hadia , Gül Mustafa , Knudson Robert , Al-Hussein Mohamed
Published: April 2019

In this paper, an experimental setup developed for an ongoing project to investigate the hygrothermal performance of wall systems under different climate conditions is presented. As a step toward establishing the hygrothermal performance of various wood-frame wall assemblies, this research focuses on field experimentation of two types of multi-functional panels (MFPs), along with a conventional wall assembly, in two different locations in Canada: Vancouver, British Columbia, and Edmonton, Alberta. The three wall assembly types are adjacent to one another along the north- and south-facing walls of the test huts in the two cities. This experiment focuses on the effect of the various ambient weather conditions on the two innovative MFPs and on the conventional wall assembly, and on determining the long-term hygrothermal performance of the tested assemblies; it also establishes the passive solar effect on the south-facing assemblies compared to the corresponding north-oriented assemblies. Both MFPs are fixed on the exterior side of a conventional wood-frame wall assembly. The components of the first MFP are 6.4 mm Oriented Strand Board (OSB), 40 mm wood-fiber insulationäóîan environmentally-friendly and fully recyclable materialäóîand 6.4 mm OSB, while those of the second MFP are 6.4 mm OSB, 25 mm Extruded Polystyrene (XPS) core, and 6.4 mm OSB. Along with the details of the experimental setups, some sample data is presented.
Investigating the effects of reduced technological constraints on cycle time through simulation modelling for automated steel wall framing
Authors: Malik Nabeel , Ahmad Rafiq , Al-Hussein Mohamed
Published: April 2019

Off-site construction constitutes a paradigm shift in construction promoting improved sustainability. At present, North Americaäó»s building construction sector is still dominated by conventional stick-built construction, which is prone to excessive material waste, longer cycle times, high labour costs, and lower quality. In contrast, inspired by the manufacturing industry, off-site construction is an approach in which building components are prefabricated in factories and transported to the construction site for on-site assembly. As the concept of off-site prefabrication gains momentum within the domain of construction, some home builders are bringing the traditional industry practice into a factory setting, thus resulting in stick-building- under-a-roof. This paper describes the development of simulation models for the automated light gauge steel framing process using discrete-event simulation mimicking real-time machine production capacity and cycle time. At present, the literature on the development of such models for automated construction machinery is lacking; in this context, this paper aims to showcase the advantages of simulation as a decision-making support tool. Construction of such models provides a useful tool for understanding bottlenecks in machine operations that can be addressed to meet local demands. Since the steel framing process primarily consists of manual assembly and fastening of cold-formed steel (CFS) frames, these models showcase the potential to increase the level of automation through the addition of various mechanical and control modifications to an existing prototype steel framing machine. The results show that cycle time reductions of 13 percent or greater are possible by applying the proposed modifications.
Predictive Model for Siding Practice in Panelized Construction
Authors: Barkokebas Beda , Ritter Chelsea , Li Xinming , Al-Hussein Mohamed
Published: April 2019

Offsite construction offers an opportunity to standardize processes and better predict schedule requirements when compared with onsite construction. This predictability allows for balanced labor distribution and accurate time estimation. This research investigates the exterior wall siding practice at a panelized home manufacturing facility in order to predict future productivity of this operation based on a time study and known panel design characteristics such as wall length, wall height, and number and size of openings in the wall. The siding workstation is currently a bottleneck in the wall production line. In this area vinyl siding, window and door trim, and other exterior finishes are added to the panels. The case study plant uses a radio frequency identification (RFID) system to track panel locations and the amount of time spent at each station. This system tracks the time the panels spend in the siding area, but not the amount of time that is necessary to complete the work required. This discrepancy results in difficulties identifying the idle time and the working time within the total duration. By applying data science procedures of classification and association applied to lean manufacturing concepts, such as value-added activities and waste minimization, the research in this paper establishes a model to predict the labor requirement for each panel at early design stages. Using the developed model, the case study factory is able to quantify the idle versus working time that panels are subject to at the exterior wall siding workstation, as well as the ratio of value-added activities to non-value- added activities.

Authors: Tannert Thomas
Published: April 2019

Timber-concrete-composite (TCC) floors are an example of hybrid systems that integrate different materials to achieve superior performance than the individual materials can provide. The structural and non-structural benefits of TCC floors over generic timber floors include increased capacity and stiffness, hallower depth, improved sound protection, and superior fire performance. Rapid erection due to the use of the timber as formwork, more economical gravity systems and foundations due to lighter weight, lower embodied energy, and reduced carbon footprint are advantages when comparing TCC systems to concrete slabs. This paper gives an overview of recent developments including research carried out on three novel solutions: 1) the äóìSwiss-Wood-Concrete-Flooräó�; 2) adhesively bonded TCC; and 3) äóìFT connectorsäó� that are embedded in precast concrete. All three solutions are well suited for modular and off-site
construction and show the potential of using wood products beyond current limitations.

Published: April 2019

Modular structure is a new type of steel building with special construction to shorten the construction period and bring other benefits. Some studies on seismic performance of modular structures were introduced. In order to meet much higher seismic requirements with less steel usage, a new type of pretensioned modular frame was proposed, which can develop a more rigid connection between modules. A quasi-static loading test was performed on a full-scale pretension assembled framed modular system, which demonstrated seismic performance of modular connection can be improved through an effective connection. Finally, some technical proposals have been discussed in structural arrangement, calculation method as well as lateral resistant system.

Optimum Assembly Planning for Modular Construction Using BIM and 3D Point Clouds
Authors: Nahangi Mohammad , Rausch Christopher , Haas Carl
Published: April 2019

Geometric and dimensional deviations often create challenges for component aggregation in the assembly of interchangeable components in modular construction. Although the components are designed interchangeably, once they are fabricated, there are inevitable discrepancies between the designed and built states. Such discrepancies create problems for fitting interchangeable modular components. This paper presents a framework for optimally planning the assembly of interchangeable components based on their as-built state. A 3D point cloud model is captured and the critical interfaces between modules are compared to the original state, integrated in the building information models (BIM), as 3D drawings. The optimization framework is implemented based on two different approaches: (1) minimization of the total deviation for minimizing rework, and (2) intervention of rework by finding the best matching component for each investigated slot. Results show that the method can be effectively used for reducing rework in modular construction by optimum assembly planning.

Authors: Marin Carla E. , Anderson Tess , Lebowitz Eli R. , Silverman Wendy K.
Published: April 2019

Difficulties with attending school are common in children referred to anxiety disorders clinics. Although parental factors have been posited as playing an important predictive role, little is known about which parental factors are associated with school attendance difficulties (SADs). We address this gap by examining family accommodation, parental psychological control, parental anxiety, and parental depression as possible predictors of SADs in children (N=343; ages 6 to 17 years, M=10.40 years, SD=2.93; 84% mothers; M=41.20 years, SD=5.49) who presented to a childhood anxiety disorders clinic. Forty-eight percent (n= 166) had SADs including not attending school, arriving to school late and/or leaving early, not staying in the classroom during school hours, or behavior problems associated with attending school (e.g. morning tantrums). Logistic regression analyses using child and parent ratings revealed that of the parental variables examined, family accommodation and parental depression were significant predictors of SADs after controlling for the effects of parental psychological control, parental anxiety, child age, child anxiety and child depression. The study’s findings suggest that high levels of family accommodation and high levels of parental depression increase the odds of SADs in anxious children.

Jaringan Komputer 4 Konfigurasi Routing Dynamic (Akhmad Syarifudin 175100012)
Authors: Syarifudin Akhmad
Published: April 2019

Dynamic Routing atau Routing Dynamic (dinamik) adalah sebuah router yang memiliki dan membuat tabel routing secara otomatis. Dengan menggunakan lalu lintas jaringan dan juga saling berhubungan antara router lainnya . Protokol Routing mengatur router-router sehingga dapat berkomunikasi satu dengan lain dan saling memberikan informasi antara satu router dengan router lainnya dan juga saling memberikan informasi routing yang dapat mengubah isi forwarding table, Tergantung keadaan jaringannya . Dengan cara ini , router router mengetahui keadaan jaringan yang terakhir dan mampu meneruskan data kearah yang benar. Dengan kata lain ,routing dinamik adalah proses pengisian data routing di table routing secara otomatis.Sebuah konsep dasar dari routing adalah bahwa router meneruskan IP paket berdasarkan pada IP address tujuan yang ada dalam header IP paket. Dia mencocokkan IP address tujuan dengan routing table dengan harapan menemukan kecocokan entri–suatu entri yang menyatakan kepada router kemana paket selanjutnya harus diteruskan. Jika tidak ada kecocokan entri yang ada dalam routing table, dan tidak ada default route, maka router tersebut akan membuang paket tersebut. Untuk itu adalah sangat penting untuk mempunyai isian routing table yang tepat dan benar.Sedangkan Routing Dinamik adalah jenis routing yang bisa berubah sesuai dengan kondisi yang diinginkan dengan parameter tertentu sesuai dengan protokolnya. Routing Dinamik diterapkan pada PC yang berfungsi sebagai router dan dibutuhkan router lain yang sama-sama menerapkan sistem routing dinamik, jadi tidak bisa berdiri sendiri seperti halnya Router static.Kata Kunci : Konfigurasi Routing Dynamic.

Epiphenomenalism is wrong; mental events are physical events; ”the hard problem of consciousness” is not a real problem. All events are inevitable; we are powerless to do anything other than what we actually do.
Towards a quantitative model of epidemics during conflicts
Authors: banerjee soumya
Published: April 2019

Epidemics may both contribute to and arise as a result of conflict. The effects of conflict on infectious diseases are complex and there have been confounding observations of both increase and decrease in disease outbreaks during and after conflicts. However there is no unified mathematical model that explains all these counter-intuitive observations. There is an urgent need for a quantitative framework for modelling conflicts and epidemics. We introduce a set of mathematical models to understand the role of conflicts inepidemics. Our mathematical framework has the potential to explain the counter-intuitive observations and the complex role of human conflicts in epidemics. Our work suggeststhat aid and peacekeeping organizations should take an integrated approach that combines public health measures, socioeconomic development, and peacekeeping in the conflictzone.Our approach exemplifies the role of non-linear thinking in complex systems like human societies. We view our work as a step towards a quantitative model of disease spread inconflicts.
