title: THE IMPORTANCE OF ISO 55000 IN SMALL AND MEDIUM SIZED ENTERPRISES

description: All sectors are facing an increasing competitive situation, therefore economic analyzes are increasing in importance in asset management. The market dynamics tends to a continuous improvement. The objectives of profitability and life cycle costs have a significant influence on the strategy of assets and strategic decisions in the organization, so it is important to analyze capex and opex to be able to define the strategies to take. What happens when we are in a medium or small company? Generally, the answer to this is that asset management only takes place on large companies. In this research, the application of an international standard model, such as ISO 55000 in asset management, for medium and small companies, becomes relevant. This standard covers a whole concept of control, monitoring and improvement, which explains what should be done. The application of a management model based on the standard allows meeting specific requirements and characteristics. Our conclusion are that any entity, regardless of its size should establish a strategy in its asset management and ISO 55000 could help them in developing that strategy.

title: THE IMPORTANCE OF PROPERTY ASSET MANAGEMENT IN THE SPANISH PUBLIC SECTOR

description: There are public entities that possess in their hands multiple property assets, that are difficult to manage, being, in many cases, buildings that are considered icons that contribute to the character of their surroundings or that take part of our historical heritage or have some kind of protection. It is difficult for the private sector to manage these assets, if in the public sector, we add the electoral cycle, the problems increase. At a public level, it is more complicated, since it should be understood that the planning of property assets and delivery do not correspond to the political cycles. In addition, policies changes once established, perhaps with the development under construction, will inevitably have serious consequences on: the planning, cost and alignment of the building with the final needs of the asset. Therefore, it is important for all the stakeholders to realize that an approach is needed for the long-term management of property asset portfolios. To achieve this goal, we have developed a structured and programmed approach of Property Asset Management adapted to the public sector, in order to provide the best solutions.

title: EXCEL BASED SETTLEMENT OF BEAMS ON ELASTIC FOUNDATIONS WITH FREE-ENDS AND ARBITRARY LOADING

description: The deflection of long footings placed on homogeneous and isotropic soils involves soil-structure differential equations models whose solution may not be possible for most practical problems. The analytical solution of beams on elastic foundation problem involves soil modulus of subgrade reaction and simplifying assumptions relative to applied loading. The exact solutions are available in relatively simple cases of loading, uniform cross sectional properties of the footing and constant soil modulus of subgrade reaction. Therefore, the Finite Differences Method (FDM) or Finite Element Method (FEM), are typically used to compute the deformation of beams with variable loading and geometry resting on elastic foundations with variable modulus of subgrade reaction. The finite differences method was used to solve this problem for long beams with arbitrary loading and constant cross-sections using an Excel Workbook to compute beam deflections providing both numerical and graphical output. The foundation is modeled as a long beam with free ends and a constant modulus of subgrade reaction. The proposed solution presents an efficient method involving a complex ordinary differential equation model for beams on elastic foundations encountered in engineering practice.

title: Creep Characteristics of Chalk Marl Under Uniaxial and Confinded Compression State Stress

description: This paper studies the time-dependent deformation of chalk marl under uniaxial state of stress in a specially built creep rigs , and confined compression stress state. The tests carried out include : six uniaxial creep tests with vertical and lateral deformation measurements , at different stress levels which lasted for 75 to 268 days , six oedometer creep tests under different stress intensities and different loading conditions which lasted for 80 to 250 days .All tested samples were trimmed from 113 mm diameter cores. For uniaxial tests 0.5% axial strain occurred almost instantaneously in the first series subjected to a stress level of 80% . In the second series subjected to a stress level of 40%, the average initial strain was 0.25% which indicate clearly their stress level dependency. After 75 to 150 days creep period, the measured average creep strain was 0.33% for the first series , which represents 57% of the consolidation strain. For series 2 the average creep strain = 0.26%.which represents 54% of the consolidation strain. This implies that the proportional creep ratio Cr = ( Et - E1 ) / E1 is independent of the applied stress level ,where Et strain at any time t, E1 strain at one day. For 1-D creep tests E1 and the proportional strain ( Et - E1 ) are not affected significantly by the intensity of applied creep stress ,while both of them are highly influenced by the method of load application. From these results, it can be concluded that creep deformation constitute an important part of the total deformation of chalk marl.

title: Calculation of the labor consumption rate for shuttering works whilst considering uncertainties

description: This paper focuses on the systematic consideration of uncertainties in calculating labor consumption rates for shuttering works. The magnitude of labor consumption rates results from a production system assessment. This paper outlines the basics of labor consumption rates and important factors that influence their level. A specific value must be selected at the end of any calculation. In labor-intensive activities, labor consumption rates are highly significant for calculating construction time and cost. To make important decisions, it is essential to know the chance/risk ratio relative to key parameters. For any quotation, this ratio illustrates the chances or risks associated with certain works and the entire project. To select the chance/risk ratio, existing uncertainties must be integrated into the probabilistic calculation (using Monte Carlo simulations) by distribution functions. The probabilistic calculation of labor consumption rates thus creates the basis for any conclusions regarding chances and risks associated with specific costs or prices. Appropriate precautions can thus be taken as part of systematically managing chances and risks. As a result, the process of preparing and making decisions is characterized by a more systematic and target-driven approach. Furthermore, decision reliability and transparency are improved. An example of calculating the labor consumption rate for shuttering works demonstrates the influence of the selected distribution functions on results. It also illustrates its subsequent effect on the chance/risk ratio of adopted decisions.

title: Multi-Objective Optimization for Conflict Resolution in Construction Projects

description: In construction projects, the different interests and objects of stakeholders can result in increased occurrences of conflict, which can bring negative effects or even project termination. In particular, understanding the causes and finding a solution get more difficult because of the larger and more complex projects. Thus, quantitative research should be conducted to find conflict alternatives. This study aims to find optimal alternative combinations for conflict resolution in public projects. To understand level of conflict and effect of conflict alternatives, the survey was conducted in three points of view, 1) economic; 2) social; 3) environmental. After survey, the optimization process consists of two steps. First, weights of conflict factors are estimated through regression analysis. Second, multi-object functions which are each economic impact, social impact, environmental impact are optimized. For multi-objective optimization, optimal alternative combinations could be deducted and results present how alternatives affect to conflict level. Although there are some limitations, this result is significant in that it has found an optimal alternative considering three impacts in order to select a combination of alternatives for conflict resolution.

title: The effect of earthquake acceleration records and their equivalent harmonic loads on earth-dam response

description: In this paper, the dynamic behavior of a typical earth-dam using non-linear dynamic analysis under different earthquake records is studied. One of the most important components in non-linear dynamic analysis of earth-dams is the evaluation of their stability considering the permanent displacement as a performance indicator. Varieties in acceleration time histories coupled with various geometry and heterogeneous material properties of the earth structures lead to diversity in non-linear responses under different real accelerograms. In this study, an equivalent harmonic load related to earthquake records with specific magnitude and frequency is defined and is applied to a 70m tall earth-dam during four real acceleration time histories. The induced-displacements were then measured under each real time record along with their defined harmonic loads at the dam crest. The resulting displacements and their harmonic equivalent loads are compared showing a good agreement in their deformations at the crest. Appropriate parameters including equivalent number of cycles and peak ground acceleration (PGA) for unique equivalent harmonic load were obtained based on the response analyses.

title: COMPARATIVE INVESTIGATION OF STRENGTH PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE MIXED WITH VARIOUS POWDER AS ALTERNATIVE CEMENTITIOUS MATERIALS

description: Mineral admixtures are often mixed in concrete as an alternative cementitious material. The use of powder materials indirectly contributes to mitigation of environmental impact caused from Portland cement production which is a major source of CO2 emission. Furthermore, some of powder can improve properties of fresh and hardened concretes. A huge number of reports examining effects of admixture have been published in the world. However, it is not easy to compare the effect of admixture under a certain test condition. The present study aims to examining strength properties of concrete incorporating various admixtures. All admixtures tested herein were mixed in concrete as an alternative cementitious material, and the cement replacement ratios were in the range of 0.2 to 0.6. The tested powder materials are fly-ash, blast furnace slag powder, silica-fume, limestone powder, and inorganic admixture which was recently developed to increase chloride resistance. The focus of the study is to quantify the effect of these admixture on concrete strength. The paper reports compressive, split tensile and flexural strengths of these concretes, and discusses the effect of powder materials.

title: Development of Portable Vibration Experiment Device to Support Intuitive Understanding

description: The scale of vibration is expressed by such measures as the acceleration and seismic intensity. However, it is not realistic for those who have no experiential sense for the scale of vibration. The intuitive feel of vibration helps to foster motivation to learn such the subjects as the earthquake disaster prevention, vibration and earthquake resistance in the department of civil engineering and the architecture.This paper introduces the portable shaking experiment device which is developed as a teaching material to support the intuitive understanding of the scale of vibration such as acceleration and seismic intensity as well as Fourier spectrum. The data of vibration recorded by the accelerometers installed at the shaking table and structure model are processed immediately and the wave form, maximum acceleration, seismic intensity and Fourier spectra are shown in real time.The effectiveness of the proposed experiment device is discussed by the questionnaire survey.

title: Effects of Residual Rust on Strength Recovery of Corroded Steel Plate Repaired with Patch Plate

description: In Japan, there have been found a lot of corrosion damages recently in steel bridges aged for fifty or more years. If the strength of a steel structure is decreased by serious corrosion damages, the structure must be repaired to ensure its safety. In order to supplement the strength loss of a steel member with local corrosion, steel plate bonding method is often adopted, where the corroded area is covered with steel plate bonded by adhesive. In this case, surface preparation is the most important issue to bond the cover plates completely. In this method, surface preparation is most important issue to bond the cover plates completely. However, it is quite difficult to completely remove rust and wastes in the fieldwork of surface preparation. Thus, this paper presents recovery effect of local corroded steel plate by steel plate bonding method when rust is not completely removed. Specimens are rectangular steel plates with irregular surface which imitated local corrosion in the center of plate. And rust is also imitated rather than actual one to quantitatively evaluate the recovery effect. Axial tensile tests were conducted for these specimens repaired with patch plate. Then, the size of patch plate and amount of rust were changed and investigated how these differences affect the peeling off of the patch plate.

title: Effect of Fly Ash Content in MBC Bonder for Sustainable CFRP Retrofit

description: The rehabilitation and strengthening of reinforced concrete structures have been attracting increasing attention due to various factors including increase in traffic volume and weight, structural aging and environmental impact. Various techniques such as grouting, guniting and external post-tensioning are being used to retrofit or strengthen deteriorated members. With recent developments in the application of fiber composites in structural engineering, externally bonded Fiber Reinforced Polymer (FRP) system has become one widely used repair techniques because of its durability and long-term cost-effectiveness. In the FRP bonded retrofit technique, epoxy is often used as the bonding material. Because of environmental impact and health issues, construction sector is always looking for sustainable alternative bonding materials for FRP retrofit. A new trend on using Mineral Based Composites (MBC) has garnered the attention for a possible alternative to replace the use of harmful epoxy in FRP retrofit. MBC is formed by mixing the cement with some other minerals together and some concrete admixtures. As a part of a project to investigate optimum mix for the MBC, a series of tests were carried out to study the effect of fly ash content in the MBC mix as a partial replacement of cement. This paper discusses the results from this experimental program and evaluates the optimum fly ash content for the MBC and its associated properties.

title: Optimal budget allocation model for rehabilitation of sewer system considering social and environmental changes

description: Municipalities face to challenges related to urban infrastructure, mainly related to aging infrastructure. The metropolitan area of Seoul, Korea, reported that more than half of the entire sewer systems are over 30 years old. The deteriorated sewer systems caused serious safety disaster such as sink hole and other social problems. Furthermore, these phenomena continue to accelerate because the sewer systems are seriously affected by variability of rainfall which results from the climate change and human migration from the social change. Therefore, it is necessary to do proactive rehabilitation instead of overdue maintenance considering the social and environmental change. This research presents the conceptual framework for deciding the priority for investment in the borough of Seoul which is based on the extensive evaluation for identifying the sewer pipelines which need rehabilitation work. To address the comprehensive evaluation of priority for investment, Genetic Algorithm(GA) is adopted to find optimal budget allocation for each borough which is derived from considering the technical, economic, environmental, and social aspects. The result can be used as reference to budget allocation to improve the sustainability of the sewer systems.

title: The study on the properties of Ca concrete under natural environment

description: The Ca-based solidification material has neutrality so that it would be expected to be new material to reduce environmental load instead of cement in the construction field. The concrete using this material, which is Ca concrete, is useful for construction material from our past research. In previous researches, we showed that the compressive strength of Ca concrete and the compressive strength of AE concrete which contains the entrained air had nearly equal strength under same mixture condition, and the behavior under compression loading of Ca concrete showed a tendency similar to cement concrete. Also, the compressive strength of Ca concrete obtained the stable strength when it had the curing for four weeks. Therefore, Ca concrete would be used in the same way as cement concrete for construction field. This study investigates to consider further properties of Ca concrete. Particularly, it is paid attention to the water absorbability, water retentivity, and the compressive strength under natural environment. As a result, it is clear that the Ca concrete has the higher water absorbability and the water retentivity as compared with cement concrete and the compressive strength of Ca concrete under natural exposure does not decrease even if the length of natural exposure passes for 104 weeks. Hence, the Ca concrete would apply to construction material under natural environment as one of the measures against urban heat island phenomenon.

title: PUNCH TEST FOR THE ASSESSMENT OF FRACTURE ENERGY ON CONCRETE MIXED TO NATURAL PLANT FIBERS

description: Ductility of a material that collapses because of the propagation of cracks depends on elastic properties of the material, on the fracture energy as well as on the structural dimensions. In this paper we discuss the use of the punch tests for the assessment of both the tensile strength and the fracture energy of cylindrical concrete specimens with different volume content of natural fibers derived from a very common plant of Sicily (agave). For the validation of the experimental results a numerical simulation of the test was also carried out a FEA using models in which tensile strength and fracture energy value, obtained by punch test, are an input of the material so that the failure load P can be obtained. A good accordance between numerical and experimental data permits us to support the use of the Punch Test (PT) as a more attractive testing method for the evaluation of the mechanical proprieties of the materials. PT, in fact, is much simpler to perform than the split cylinder test method. Besides, the study shows the improvement of the post cracking behavior of concrete element reinforced by the use of natural and renewable fiber.

title: Self-healing Concrete Using Fly Ash

description: It has been recognized that concrete deterioration is accelerated by growth of the fine cracks which was induced by dry shrinkage and/or freezing damage. Research of the concrete which carries out self-healing of these fine cracks has been abundantly expected. To confirm the ability of fly ash on self-healing, we conducted fundamental test of mortar using fly ash (replacement ratio 20%) which was deteriorated by accelerated freeze-thaw cycle until the relative dynamic modulus of elasticity reduced to 80% and 60%. The mortar specimens were then cured in water at 40

title: An Exploration of Team Integration and Group Cohesion in Design-Bid-Build Projects between the US and Spain

description: A recent large sample study of project delivery in the United States (U.S.) concluded that more integrated teams led both directly and indirectly to more successful construction projects. Concurrent with this U.S. study, construction projects in Spain were surveyed using the same data collection questionnaire. While the sample size of participating projects in Spain was not as large as the U.S. and targeted only design-bid-build (DBB) deliveries, there were notable differences in the levels of team integration between the two data sets. Comparable DBB projects in Spain had significantly fewer team members participating in high-quality, multidisciplinary interactions than their U.S. counterparts. However, they relied on greater use of qualifications and experience in selection. DBB projects from the U.S. and Spain data sets are compared, with respect to their use, and proportion, of the team participating in: design charrettes, joint goal-setting, building information modeling (BIM) and construction phase co-location. To further explore these differences, we also examine how DBB delivery is implemented in the U.S. and Spain. While it was discovered that Spanish DBB projects did use some tools to increase team integration, the findings of this comparison suggest that the Spanish industry could improve team integration by: (1) incorporating earlier construction team involvement; (2) promoting cost transparency with open book construction contracts that transition to a lump sum near the completion of the project, and (3) encouraging the designer and contractors to use BIM throughout the project.
