title: A PRELIMINARY STUDY OF ALTERNATIVE TECHNICAL CONCEPTS IN HIGHWAY PROJECT DELIVERY METHODS IN THE US

description: Department of Transportation (DOT) budgets are being stretched to the limits, while the infrastructure needs of the nation continue to grow. To address this issue, a few DOTs have adopted strategies that promote innovation and motivate industry to propose cost or time saving ideas. The advent of the Design Build (D-B) and General-Contractor-as-Construction-Manager (CM/GC) project delivery methods in highway and bridge construction has established the early involvement of the contractor in the design phase of a project. The next step on this evolution may be Alternative Technical Concepts (ATCs). The Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) has defined an ATC as

title: Prevalence and Value of Building Information Modeling Uses in Construction

description: Despite the growth in interest and rapid technological development of Building Information Modeling tools and processes, the adoption of modeling uses to advance construction tasks in the field have been slow in adoption. A list of 30 modeling uses for construction are presented, based upon previous research that develops a taxonomy of modeling uses for construction specific tasks. This research presents survey responses from over 250 industry practitioners regarding the status of industry adoption, perceived value, and level of difficulty to implement for a list of 30 modeling uses specific to construction. Findings highlight the differing perspectives by industry sector and role. In addition to the providing insights into the status of adoption, the paper will introduce the concept of methods as a key differentiator of construction modeling uses that influence their adoption and value in support of construction tasks.

title: ASSESSMENT OF ADDITIVE AND CONVENTIONAL MANUFACTURING: CASE STUDIES FROM THE AEC INDUSTRY

description: Given the development of Additive Manufacturing (AM), popularly known as 3D Printing, the coexistence of AM and conventional manufacturing (CM) in AEC will be a reality for the foreseeable future. Case studies on two AM metallic building components demonstrated that AM for building components is technologically feasible but cost-prohibitive today, and, in some cases, has lower environmental impacts than CM. Firstly, a feasibility study was conducted to assess the applicability, time to manufacture, and manufacturing cost of AM vs. CM of specific metallic building components. Secondly, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) was used to assess environmental impacts of AM and CM for those two cases. The case studies were the first well-documented comparative analyses of AM vs. CM for building components, and they contribute to the emerging

title: Desired versus Realized Benefits of Alternative Contracting Methods on Extreme Value Highway Projects

description: Highway agencies choose alternative contracting methods (ACMs) to for a wide variety of reasons, primarily their potential for superior cost and schedule performance. Most literature focuses on these two factors by analyzing aggregate datasets covering a wide-ranging contract values. These analyses create two voids that this paper attempts to explore: (1) ACMs provide a wide variety of benefits, which cost and schedule performance alone do not identify; and (2) projects of differing contract values benefit differently. This paper investigates the selection criteria for ACMs and why US agencies chose ACMs for projects at the extreme ends of the cost spectrum (defined as projects at the upper and lower 10th percentiles for each delivery method) and what benefits are realized, above and beyond cost and schedule performance. These findings are presented through a survey of 291 US projects, interviews of sixteen US agency representatives, literature review, agency ACM manual content analysis.

title: BIM - Processes - Lifecycle

description: BIM describes a method to integrate and connect all relevant, building related data into a virtual data model over the whole lifecycle. The superior goal of all BIM-related research projects at the Chair of Construction Management and Economics is therefore to advance the efforts of data model standardization and the corresponding flow of information between all participants involved in a building project. To identify all relevant data, the focus of each project is hence directed to the question who needs which information from whom, how, when and what for.In this context the research project

title: Aldi, Exeter Road, Topsham, Devon. Archaeological Evaluation and Excavation.

description: An archaeological investigation was undertaken by Cotswold Archaeology between October 2015 and January 2016 at Aldi, Exeter Road, Topsham, Devon. An initial evaluation of the site comprised the excavation of six trenches, which uncovered a number of prehistoric and Roman features. Three excavation areas and eight additional trenches subsequently targeted the identified features. The evaluation and excavation identified seven phases of activity between the Neolithic to post-medieval periods. A number of Neolithic pits and several Early Bronze Age cremation burials were uncovered during the archaeological investigation. A probable later prehistoric roundhouse was succeeded by several phases of Roman occupation. Four buildings which have been interpreted as Roman military warehouses were replaced by an area of agriculture in the late 1st to 2nd centuries AD. Some evidence for post-Roman activity is illustrated by a single pit dated to this period and possibly by a number of undated ditches and pits that were stratigraphically later than the prehistoric and Roman remains. Finally, several large post-medieval quarry pits were also found on the western side of the site.

title: EXPLORING BARRIERS IN IMPLEMENTING BUILDING INFORMATION MODELLING: A PRELIMINIRAY STUDY

description: This study involves with Building Information Modeling (BIM) and exploring the reasons behind the slow speed of implementing this method in the construction industry in developing countries in general and Jordan in specific. The aim of the research was achieved through a survey which considered 15 barrier factors and 13 driving factors. The study revealed that the level of BIM implementation in construction projects is generally low. In addition, the significant barriers affecting the adoption of BIM are lack of qualified staff to operate the software, difficulty learning BIM, the existing system fulfils the need, resistance to change and uncertainties concerning return on investment of BIM. Also study pointed out the most important factors that could help implementing BIM in the Jordanian construction industry. These are providing BIM training program, introducing BIM in the university curriculum and providing the efforts by the government to push implementation of BIM in their projects.Finally, the paper presented some recommendations if followed the level of (BIM) implementation in this country may be improved.

title: Influence of baseboard height on wind force of scaffolds at building edge

description: When scaffolds are installed in construction sites, their resistance against wind force needs to be calculated. Japanese design guidelines require a specific scaffold resistance against wind force, but such rules and regulations are applicable solely to old-style scaffolds. A number of risks are inherent in the existing guidelines. First, new-style scaffolds are used in construction sites without practitioners knowing whether the design guidelines are appropriate for modern building components. Second, scaffolds are set near buildings, but workers are unaware of the effect of the wind force at the building edge. Finally, conventional designs feature the use of baseboards as scaffold components. While considering the aforementioned issues, a wind tunnel test was carried out as part of this study to examine the wind force exerted on scaffolds erected near a building edge. The parameters used in the test were baseboard height and the distance from the building edge. From the results, when the distances between the building

title: Studley Castle Hotel, Warwickshire: Level 4 Building Recording of 1938 Accommodation Block (headland3-263965)

description: Headland Archaeology were commissioned to carry out a Historic Building Recording (HBR) survey of the 1938 wing of Studley Castle Hotel, near Studley in Warwickshire; as part of a wider archaeological mitigation strategy for the proposed re-development of the castle and grounds. The HBR survey was carried out in accordance with specific Level 4 standards from the Historic England document entitled Understanding Historic Buildings (2006). An interim report was produced in June 2016 which summarised the information gathered during the fieldwork and set out the work still to be completed, this was submitted to the planning authority to allow the demolition of the block. This document completes the building recording of the 1938 block. The fieldwork confirmed that the conversion of Studley Castle to a hotel in the late 20th century had resulted in physical changes to the layout of the 1938 wing and also the loss of some historic fabric. However it was possible to identify the original layout of the building when it was in use as accommodation for the Women's Agricultural College. The physical evidence allowed some conclusions to be drawn regarding the use of spaces within the building and documentary sources provided supplementary evidence.

title: Sustainable nitrogen removal using appropriate technologies

description: Nitrogen and phosphorus are two major pollutants that lead to eutrophication, adversely impact ecosystems, and lead to degradation of water quality, which impacts human health and sustainability. Pollution from point sources like wastewater and industry discharge is easier to control than non-point source pollution due to agricultural runoff and related activities. The USEPA is considering more strict standards for nitrogen and phosphorus discharge from point sources. The objective of this study was to use an appropriate low-cost wastewater technology to demonstrate removal of nitrogen from wastewater discharge using rotating biological contactors (RBCs) using different carbon:nitrogen ratios. The first-order nitrogen removal rate constant was found to be about 3.88 day-1 in experimental reactor systems, using RBC media from a local wastewater treatment plant (Greater Peoria Sanitary District). Phase I experiments, at C:N ratio of 2:1, with nitrogen removal rates of 60% in a single flow-through system. Phase II experiments for the limited carbon availability condition showed that the removal rate constant reduced by 30% and N-removal efficiency dropped to around 48%. Modeling showed that even under these conditions, multiple bioreactors operated in series can help achieve design treatment goals. The system achieved stability within a week of operation. Economics and sustainability issues are analyzed to determine if the process developed in this research is scalable to pilot- and full-scale conditions.

title: Factors Influencing Productivity in the KSA Construction Industry

description: Over the past three decades, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) has witnessed a significant increase in new building projects and construction industry activity. The KSA construction industry is expected to continue developing and growing at a significant rate in the coming decades. However, several serious issues currently face the construction industry, in particular low productivity, which have contributed to poor outcomes where projects have been delayed or postponed. This paper discusses the major factors influencing productivity in the KSA construction industry. A questionnaire survey using a 5-point Likert scale was used to measure the importance of these factors. It was administered to 176 respondents from Grades 1, 2 and 3 construction companies, which are registered in the Contractors Classification Agency under the Ministry of Municipal and Rural Affairs (MMRA). The questionnaire included five major factors identified from the literature review: managerial, labor-related, materials, tools and equipment, financial, and project-related. Using descriptive statistical analyses, it was found that the most important factors influencing construction productivity were financial factors, including issues such as the limited financial liquidity of the company, payment delays by owners, and limited cash flow. The next main influential factor was project-related, followed by factors related to materials and equipment, labor-related factors, and administrative and managerial factors.

title: Nondestructive techniques for grouting

description: Techniques for improving the ground base have been used since ancient times. The need of the geotechnical engineer to use zones with weak (cracked or high porosity) soil poses new, increasingly complicated problems. The solutions must consider requirements for the materials used and restrictions over the invasion.The use of natural (inorganic) materials is an approach resulting from the low speed of the change of the properties. The insignificant effect of the environment on the properties of the materials to be injected is unquestionable. Here we should consider a number of factors connected with the anthropogenic conditions. An important aspect in the choice of materials is the expected positive changes in the structure and properties of the natural materials - improvement of soil skeleton structure, preservation of the migration of water, filling saturation, decreasing the consolidation deformability and others.The use of techniques of injection with relatively small influence over the structure and properties of the natural materials requires certain basic mechanical parameters. Here we should pay attention to the scale of the interventions as a whole, the effect of which is considerably smaller than in usual techniques for different deep foundations. Another important aspect of these techniques is the economic effect which creates conditions for a number of optimizations concerning the use of small-scale resources, by-products (colloidal clay, flay ash, lime, gypsum), small quantities of waste products, short periods for realization and others.

title: EVALUATE OF CRYSTALLIZATION WATERPROOFING ADMIXTURE ON PORTLAND CEMENT CONCRETE

description: The search of reduction of the permeability of concrete structures, and consequently, increase the durability of the structural elements has led to develop new products for this purpose. One of the options is the use of crystalline waterproofing admixture (CWA). This research evaluated the influence of the use of crystallization admixture for waterproofing on the Portland cement concrete porosity. The Water absorption and compressive strength of concretes with crystalline waterproofing admixture at the dosage recommended by the supplier were evaluated and the results were compared with regular concrete, without addition of admixture. The results show a reduction of porosity with reduction of absorption from 3,30% to 0,32% at 56 days of age after specimens molding. A reduction of compressive strength by 7.89% in concrete with admixture was also observed.

title: Characteristics of Fundamental Diagrams Due to Shockwave by Non-lane Based Heterogeneous Traffic

description: If the global context of traffic flow researches are highlighted, it is observed that many researches have already been conducted with the Fundamental Diagrams of traffic flow for lane based homogeneous traffic. Studies related to propagation of shockwaves are being conducted as well. But for developing countries such as Bangladesh, it is predominant that non-lane based heterogeneous traffic exists in most of the roads. Firstly there is scarcely any lane concept among the drivers at all. Moreover frequent lane changing is a common phenomenon. For these reasons, responses of Fundamental Diagrams' shape are quite distinctive from already established shapes. Thus the main concern is to trace the deviation of the prevailing traffic flow parameters of traffic flow from those established equations. Video footage has been taken of roadway section marked suitably for measurement. Shockwaves due to lane changing for non-lane based and heterogeneous synchronized traffic flow has been accomplished and modelled using R and MATLAB analysis for a highway of Dhaka city, Bangladesh. After modeling the calibration and validation are done accordingly to distinguish the variation from ideal models and to verify that the study outcomes converge as well. It has been detected that shockwave induces significant decrement in flow and speed in case of specified traffic condition.

title: Heavylifting operations for the assembly of the arch of the Walterdale Bridge Replacement

description: One of the main requirements for the Walterdale Bridge Replacement in Edmonton was to minimize the impact on the river during the construction. This was a big challenge, as the use of ordinary construction methods such as falseworks and cranes was almost impossible. Furthermore, the river was not navigable. Consequently, all water equipment used, such us barges, had to be modularized, land transported and assembled directly on site, limiting the capacity. Then, it was decided to split the construction of the arch in different stages, performing several special heavylifting activities. Firstly, a partial arch (the central part), weighing 1.000 metric tons was manufactured on a riverbank. After that, it was skidded and loaded-out onto two modular barges, which moved the segment to the area between the abutments. By means of two towers specifically assembled, which included four strand jacks, the arch was then partially lifted and connected to additional sections of the arch, creating a new 1.800 T and 146-m long arch. Following this, the new arch was also lifted to its final position, in a similar way. This paper describes all the special heavylifting operations and the equipment used to assemble the arch of the bridge, facing with severe weather conditions, such as temperatures down to -20
