title: DISTRIBUTION OF BREAKS IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

description: The performance of tasks with high physical loads corresponds very strongly with the necessity for breaks, which should be taken depending on the workload. The actual situation on construction sites is totally different, since breaks were traditionally arranged and almost unchanged over the last decades, with no connection to the workload. This claim was substantiated by a recent survey of supervisors (N = 64) and construction workers (N = 177). The results showed that the majority of respondents would not change the current break arrangement, particularly supervisors, who did not see the importance of an evaluated break distribution. However, a need for change is seen in statements of the construction workers? unions to reduce stress additionally caused by high temperatures. The suggested new approach for customized breaks in connection to physical loads in this study leads to the following: The overall working time should be split into three almost comparable shares, with a duration of 2.5 to 3.5 hours, to reach a total of 9 to 10 working hours. But even if these breaks are changed in the way we suggest, the authors would recommend additional breaks if the construction workers have to perform very strenuous work, or if climate conditions increase the strain.

title: ASSESSMENT OF LEED REQUIREMENTS FOR ENERGY AND ATMOSPHERE FOR DEVELOPING A LOCAL CERTIFICATION SYSTEM

description: Building construction is a major industry that uses a considerable amount of energy and causes extensive atmospheric pollution. Around 30-40% of energy consumption as well as 15% of greenhouse gas emissions originate from construction activities. As a result, sustainability is of special importance, from the extraction of construction materials to building operation and maintenance. Given the increasing demand for energy worldwide, energy efficiency and renewable energy sources have special importance for a sustainable future. Green building certification systems, with their increasing importance and popularity in developing and developed countries, pursue higher goals for energy efficiency and pollution prevention. Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) is the preferred rating system in the world. LEED assigns 32% of the available rating points to the energy and atmosphere category. The subject country of this study, Turkey, is developing local certification systems based on the characteristics of the Turkish construction industry. The leading study, Turkish National Green Building Certification - Homes (TNGBC-H), has not been introduced yet as it is still being developed. This study focuses on the codes and standards that will possibly be used in these certification systems, such as the Code for Building Energy Performance prepared by the Turkish Ministry of Environment and Urbanization, and the Turkish standards related to energy and atmosphere. This paper compares the standards and regulations referred to by LEED and TNGBC-H and makes suggestions for a coherent and efficient future certification system in Turkey.

title: INNOVATION DRIVERS IN CONSTRUCTION

description: The construction industry is labeled as an industry that highly sticks to established practice without sufficient innovation. Nowadays, construction organizations strive for survival by adopting cutthroat pricing to the detriment of product quality. This approach stifles long-term competitiveness. Innovation can be defined as ?successful exploitation of new ideas, where the ideas are new to unit of adoption?. Providing an accurate definition is considered to be one of the most crucial means to enhance competitiveness. In spite of enormous literature on the definitions of innovation, there are limited studies exploring barriers and drivers of innovation in the Hong Kong construction industry. This study aims to fill those research gaps. Barriers to developing innovations have been identified, as well as the nature of the construction industry, conventional methods of procuring projects, and risks and cost of innovations. Discovering ways to identify opportunities and drivers of innovations have been explored through a case study. It is found that an innovative procurement system, sufficient information exchange, and a progressive employer drive innovations.

title: WORK-RELATED STRESS, RESTORATION AND PURSUIT OF SUSTAINABLE MOTIVATIONAL FACTORS IN CONSTRUCTION

description: Work-related stress and consequent poor performance of workers require diligent application of innovative strategies on construction sites to achieve a viable labor resource. Humankind?s desire for contact with nature serves an important adaptive function, in the form of psychological restoration that heals mental fatigue and the lack of motivation in the construction workforce. An underlying practical challenge is hereby offered in the ?greening of the construction site?, or the biophilic design concept, as a relevant aspect of construction management and planning. The question explored includes the nature of the biophilic construction site model (BCSM), and the specific design of workplaces to include ?dynamic healing gardens? tailored to the project, environment, and construction processes. The methodology surveys, compares, and analyzes construction sites in South Africa with or without the BCSM. Findings indicate that workers actually achieve restoration and rejuvenation in a natural environment in harmony with the promotion of health and safety, ergonomic strategies in construction, and attention-restorative therapy. We recommend that ?informal dynamic therapeutic gardens? be included within the construction planning of worksites, the interior of site offices and welfare facilities to enhance productivity and quality in construction.

title: CLIENT SATISFACTION FROM THE SERVICES OF ARCHITECTS ON BUILDING PROJECTS

description: The concept of satisfaction in the building industry is important, as the industry?s future depends on clients? satisfaction with their investments. The purpose of this study is to assess the satisfaction levels towards architects who, as the originator of building design, has a lot of responsibility in managing the project to a successful completion. Data are obtained through qualitative and quantitative surveys of a target population of clients and project managers from the clients? representatives. The variables are ranked with a mean score for both importance and satisfaction feedback regarding architect services. Results indicate higher scores for importance variables. However, many important variables were ranked lower on the satisfaction scale than they were on the importance scale. This research is an ongoing study as part of the authors? doctoral work. The final outcome is expected to improve the understating of client needs and satisfaction in Nigerian building industry.

title: SIMULATION MODELS FOR CEMENT LOADING PROCESS

description: Reduction of waiting and throughput times of cement trucks in cement-loading processes generally requires additional input resources, such as cement-loading machines and operators. However, a superfluous number of input resources can increase idle time. On the other hand, minimizing input server resources can significantly save costs for cement plants, but would result in excessive waiting time and throughput time of trucks, limiting the number of trips that trucks could travel to transport cement. To maximize the utilization of cement trucks and input resources, a trade-off between truck waiting time and server idle time is necessary. This study developed a simulation model maximizing the utilization factor of truck waiting time and machine idle time. By using EZStrobe software, the current operations of the cement-loading process were simulated based on data obtained between August 2012 and June 2013 at Asia Cement Plant, Thailand. The results show that a new design of operations with alternate layout, which operates by using four regular cement-loading channels with two extra channels during the 8-hour peak duration, is recommended for the cement-loading process to optimize performance, since they reduce truck waiting time, throughput time, and queue length, with the lowest machine idle time possible.

title: Procedure for obtaining frozen cores from liquefied crystal silica sand model(Experiment 2 Laminar Box)

description: The purpose of this experiment is to develop a procedure for obtaining frozen core specimens from centrifuge tests. The attempt is to liquefy the soil prior to testing. In the first experiment, a rigid box was used. The changes from the first experiment to the second was the use of a laminar box that would allow shearing of the soil better than that of the rigid box. However, liquefaction was again not present, therefore the test was deemed unsuccessful.

title: THE EFFECT OF FIBER DISPERSION ONSTRENGTH PROPERTIES OF FIBER-REINFORCED CEMENT COMPOSITES WITHMWCNT

description: This experimental study was intended to improve the strength properties of Multi-walled Carbon Nano-tubes (MWCNT) reinforced cementitious composites. CNT is a very promising construction material with excellent mechanical properties. However, the strong van der Waals force between their particles hinders their dispersion, limiting strength development. Therefore, homogeneous dispersion is required to obtain enhanced strength of composites by incorporating MWCNT. With this purpose, the variables considered in this study are the level of sonication, the amount of surfactant, the replacement ratio of silica fume, etc. Studies through an optical microscope indicated that the fiber dispersion of CNT was improved with the increase of sonication period, and that compressive strength was enhanced as the degree of sonication increased. When superplasticizer as a surfactant had a SP/CNT ratio of 4?6, the best improvement in strength was obtained. Silica fume was shown to produce the highest compressive strength at 10% replacement.

title: CAUSES AND EFFECTS OF VARIATIONS ON CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS

description: Because of their bespoke nature, construction projects are susceptible to variations irrespective of type, size and complexity. The effects of these variations are significant and may include cost and time overrun, productivity, and waste issues at the minimum. Although variations have been widely researched, investigations into the relationship between the significant causes of variations and their effects have not. This study also considers control measures that could minimize variations in residential building projects, where significant variations are happening in the Sri Lankan construction industry. A questionnaire survey was administered to study participants with the objective of identifying significant causes and effects of variations on residential building projects. The participants were professionals across industry groups such as clients, consultants, and contractors who deal with variations on Sri Lankan construction projects. The study found that change in designs or project scope by owners or design consultants were due to owners? financial problems, errors and omissions in design, conflicts between contract documents, inadequate working drawing details, lack of coordination by consultants, differing site conditions for contractors, unforeseen problems and weather conditions. Cost and time overruns are subsequent effects of those variations. The study suggests that variations could be minimized by adopting control measures that are appropriate for both the design and construction stage.

title: WIND LOADS AND WIND-INDUCED BUCKLING OF OPEN-TOPPED OIL-STORAGE TANKS IN VARIOUS ARRANGEMENTS

description: Wind force coefficients for designing open-topped oil-storage tanks in various arrangements have been investigated under experiments involving a wind tunnel and a buckling analysis of the tanks. In the wind tunnel experiment, the wind pressures were measured simultaneously at many points both on the external and internal surfaces of a rigid model for various arrangements of two to four tanks. The effects of arrangement and gap spacing of tanks on the pressure distribution are investigated. The buckling of tanks under static wind loading is analyzed by using a non-linear finite element method. A discussion of the effect of wind force distribution on the buckling behavior follows. The authors provided a model of circumferential distribution of wind force coefficient on isolated open-topped tanks in their previous paper. This paper proposes a model of wind-force coefficient for plural tanks in various configurations by modifying the model for isolated tanks.

title: USING NANOFIBERS IN THE RESTORATION OF HISTORIC COATINGS ? RESISTANCE TO SALT CRYSTALLIZATION

description: The paper presents partial results of research into the application of nanofibers in the stabilization, conservation, and strengthening of historic plasters. Nanotechnologies applied in all basic technical disciplines currently belong to the most popular fields of research. The restoration of historic and cultural heritage buildings must not in any way damage the preserved original coatings. The execution method and the choice of the suitability of used materials must respect the preserved condition based on the original plaster composition. The research addresses the above issues by applying nanofibers to textile carrier fabrics. The suitability of selected electrospun polymers and acrylates for the purposes of strengthening surface layers, and the application methods of nanotextiles on plasters, were investigated. The objective of this study is to verify whether the newly-designed methodology for the stabilization, conservation, and strengthening of historic plasters meets structural and technical demands, as well as the strict criteria set by cultural heritage conservation.

title: INFLUENCE OF CURING CONDITIONS ANDALKALI HYDROXIDE ON STRENGTH OF FLYASH GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE

description: Geopolymer concrete is known as an alternative to Portland cement, with low carbon dioxide emissions compared with the conventional building materials. In this research, the influence of curing conditions and alkali hydroxide were investigated, using curing temperatures between 40 to 100?, curing times from 4 to 12 hours, and various types of hydroxide and concentrations of sodium hydroxide solution. Geopolymerization needs energy and time to occur, and higher curing temperatures resulted in larger compressive strength, while longer curing times resulted in higher compressive strength. At the same curing temperature, longer curing time resulted in a higher compressive strength because the longer curing time extends the chemical reaction. For geopolymer concrete, sodium hydroxide is a better property than potassium hydroxide, because the atomic size of sodium anion is smaller than potassium. Further, the strength of concrete increased when the concentration of sodium hydroxide increased. In conclusion, geopolymer concrete is suitable for traditional building materials. Finding renewable materials to satisfy the increasing demand for building structures will be the primary challenge in future.
