title: Calculation of NORMAL CONSTRUCTIONTIME FOR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTSWHILST CONSIDERING UNCERTAINTIES

description: Construction time has a major influence both on the cost-efficient execution of construction works and on the overall project outcome achieved by the client. Clients would do themselves a disservice if they specified short or extremely short construction periods for their projects. The same applies to time made available for project preparation, particularly for the design and tender stages. Any project that is poorly planned, tendered and executed under time pressure will adversely affect actual construction work but also the building

title: PROPERTY ASSET MANAGEMENT IN SPAIN: STATE OF THE ART AND PROPOSALS OF ACTION

description: Currently, in the Spanish market, some entities possess considerable amounts of property assets, as we have seen in large holders: banking entities, public hospitals, developers, etc. Property assets are the slowest resources of an entity, when it comes to answering to changes, due to the complexities associated with the purchase, sale, lease, alteration, development of property assets, etc. For these and many other reasons, all the activities related to property assets, take more time than expected and are generally more expensive than in the initially budget. Then, why are there so many organizations that are surprised repeatedly, for the delays, the shortage of funds or with buildings that do not match with the initial expectations? That is why, the vast majority of organizations, cannot align the disposition, quality and efficiency of property assets with their current business strategy, that is, they are poorly managed. There is a necessity to develop the Property Asset Manager figure, in order to achieving at least similar numbers to our neighboring countries (UK, France, Germany, etc). For this to happen, we have studied, researched and analyzed diverse documentations, especially at an international level. We need to develop a definition, functions and methodology that helps to create a specific field in Spain

title: Genetic Algorithm Optimization of Multiple Resources for Multi-Projects

description: Optimization of resources is very important in all construction projects. Project managers have to face problems regarding management of cost, time and available resources for single projects. This is more challenging when managing multiple projects. Most of the recent studies focused on optimization of resources for a single project, or a single resource. This paper presents a numerical model of multiple resources optimization for multiple projects using Genetic Algorithm. Most of the companies in the construction industry optimize the resources for single projects only. However, with the presence of several mega projects in several developing countries running at the same time, there is a need for a model to enhance the efficiency of available resources, and decreases the fluctuation as much as possible and try to maximize the use of the available pool of resources. The proposed model is user friendly, and it can optimize up to nine resources in three different projects running at the same time. The model is used on the identified critical resources. It calculates the cost of each resource, minimize the cost of extra resources as much as possible and generate the schedule of each project within a selected overall program.

title: Optimizing Multi-Wall Panel Configuration for Panelized Construction using BIM

description: With the rise of Building Information Modeling (BIM), off-site construction is gaining momentum in the construction industry. This construction method can benefit the industry through improved productivity and reduced waste. However, it also poses new challenges to building designers and construction practitioners with respect to building design and construction planning. This is due to the fact that, in the offsite construction paradigm, building design must be transformed from product-focused to manufacturing process-driven. As such, when designing building products, designers needs to consider not only product performance but also manufacturing process constraints in order to harness the benefits of manufacturing technology. At present, considerable human involvement and off-site construction knowledge are required to adapt building design (e.g., panelize building objects) for manufacturing processes within BIM environments. In this regard, this research contributes a BIM-based algorithm for panelizing building components. The proposed algorithm is capable of determining the granularity of wall panels and optimizing the configuration of multi-wall panels under engineering constraints, thereby improving productivity. The proposed approach is implemented within an Autodesk Revit environment through application programming interface. A case study of a residential building is used to demonstrate the proposed approach.

title: Improving productivity, workflow management, and resource utilization in precast construction

description: Construction industry has long dealt with problems such as low productivity, unstable workflow in projects and low utilization rate of resources. Off-site construction, which is a hybrid of mass manufacturing and construction, has significant potential to address aforementioned problems. In order to realize this potential, off-site construction needs to avoid replicating the traditional subcontracting approach and therefore fragmented practice in the construction industry. The current research focuses on restructuring the interaction of resources by using cross-training. Findings show that cross-training resources results in transferring excess capacity from underutilized to over utilized resources in direct or indirect pathways. Such initiatives can significantly improve productivity, workflow management and resource utilization in precast construction that highly specialized resources are not required. The study contributes to the construction management literature by providing insight into dynamics of using multi-skilled resources in off-site construction.

title: HEALTH OF GREEN BUILDING OCCUPANTS: BOTH INDOOR AND NEIGHBORHOOD ENVIRONMENTS MATTER!

description: Commonly adopted green building standards, such as LEED and BEAM PLUS, tend to focus on the sustainable performance of buildings. There is a lack of comprehensive consideration on the associations between building environment and health of occupants, let alone the impact of neighborhood environment on the occupants. This study thus aims to investigate the impact and interplay of indoor and neighborhood environment on health of green building occupants. To achieve this aim, two green buildings, which locate in contrasting neighborhood environment in Hong Kong, are selected for case study. Based on the data collected by post-occupancy evaluation (occupant health), indoor environment assessment (thermal comfort, indoor air quality, ventilation, visual comfort, and acoustic comfort) and neighborhood environment assessment (neighborhood building density, neighborhood building height, neighborhood green area, and neighborhood cleanliness) through questionnaire survey, the results reveal that the relationship between indoor environment and occupant health is significantly moderated by neighborhood building height. The results lay foundation on how the green building standards can be further developed to enhance occupant health by taking neighborhood environment into account.

title: A FINITE ELEMENT ANALYSIS APPROACH TO IMPROVE INTEROPERABILITY FOR THERMAL ENERGY SIMULATIONS

description: Information exchange between architectural design models and Thermal Energy Simulation (TES) tools still suffers interoperability problems. The main challenge is to robustly translate the geometrical information required for TES. The current practice involves a cumbersome and iterative manual correction of the model between the architect and the engineer, which is prone to human errors. Interpreting the geometry solely based on the IFC file is not a trivial process due to its complex nature, in which different attributes are cross-linked to each other. To address this issue, an approach based on the Finite Element Analysis (FEA) is proposed, which aims to provide straightforward readability of geometrical information as well as a reliable and flexible thermal simulation. To demonstrate this approach, an IFC model of a residential building was transferred to a commercial FEA software and a thermal analysis was conducted. Interoperability problems regarding robust transfer of geometrical information was not encountered and the process was deemed to be efficient. FEA also revealed another strength by providing thermal analysis of individual components of the structure. This can be employed in the early design stage by rapid prototyping of different components (e.g., geometry, thermal properties) and their role on the thermal performance of the whole structure. Results are presented by comparing the proposed approach with the current practice and the potential advantages are highlighted.Keywords: Industry Foundation Classes (IFC), Energy performance, Prototyping, Building Information Model (BIM), Building Energy Model (BEM), Information exchange

title: ANALYSIS OF EMPIRICAL COMPRESSION INDEX EQUATIONS USING THE VOID RATIO

description: This paper proposes a new method to evaluate the reliability of published empirical formulas in terms of accuracy and applicability to different soil types. Different empirical models are proposed to properly approximate the compression index for a wide range of void ratio and soil types. They were developed using a unique technique and a substantial number of published regression equations and compression data. Familiar empirical equations were examined for their reliability in predicting the compression index of clay for any void ratio. A comparison was made between available and newly-proposed empirical formulas using combined regression data sets compiled independently by several authors. The newly proposed empirical compression index equations are applicable to wide ranges of clay soils and void ratios, validating other published relationships. The degree of scatter and variations in the computed compression index values are minimized for any void ratio.

title: INNOVATIVE IMPLICIT FINITE DIFFERENCE SOLUTION TO TIME RATE OF SETTLEMENT IN CLAY

description: The primary consolidation process in clay involves changes in excess pore water pressure (Epwp) with time. The changes in the Epwp is related to permeability, void ratio, and boundary conditions. Closed-form solutions for simple initial EPWP have been published. Such solutions include simplifying assumptions and limited to few impractical initial EPWP distributions. Generally, the initial Epwp encountered in practice is complex, in which case, numerical methods are used. The finite differences and the finite element methods are the primary tools employed in the analysis of settlement behavior of fine-grained soils. Unfortunately, these methods suffer from three main problems: (1) they require evaluation of EPWP vectors at each time increment which results in a large number of calculations; (2) roundoff errors at each time increment; and (3) the solution for a given initial EPWP distribution is achieved at a predetermined integer time increment. An innovative explicit finite difference model is proposed that will permit any initial EPWP distribution, substantially reduces the number of calculations and roundoff errors.

title: Full-scale model test for predicting collapse using inverse of velocity of slope surface during excavation

description: It is important to predict an onset of slope failures or rock falls for the occupational safety because about 15 to 20 workers were killed by these every year in Japan. Approximately half of the victims suffered from slope failure during slope excavation construction. In this research, in order to predict the time of slope failure during an experimental testing on a full-scale model slope was conducted, and the displacements of the slope surface were monitored during the slope excavation. The surface displacements rapidly increased with the elapsed time after the excavation, and the relationship between the displacements and the elapsed time included an exponential function just before the collapsed. We validated that the time of slope failure could be predicted by the relationship between the acceleration and the velocity of the obtained slope surface displacements. However, in order to predict the time of collapse, the data was required to compute only 2 seconds before the collapse. Therefore, we realised the importance of providing advisory and warning signal to give workers enough time to escape the slope failures. We have discovered that by computing the inverse of velocity of slope surface displacement, advisory and warning signals can be provided 2 minutes before the collapse.

title: WORKING WITH WHAT IS AVAILABLE, TO DEVELOP LOCAL KNOWLEDGE TO SUSTAIN FUTURE DEVELOPMENT IN CRISIS SITUATIONS

description: This past April 2016 the coast of Ecuador suffered a devastating 7.8 earthquake. The automatic response was to run to the disaster area and help, not knowing that most of the time these unskilled volunteers became another casualty. Months later, government, universities etc. are working nonstop in order to responsibly restore the area. None the less, are we being efficient in order to prevent the possible effects of disasters to come? Almost 70% of Latin America is built on informality, and almost 80% of the destroyed and demolished infrastructure was due the lack of technical support. As professionals and academics, are we acting where it is necessary? A crisis creates opportunities, and knowing that most of Ecuador is in constant danger because of probable natural disasters, acting local may be more effective and can have a long lasting effect, rather than focus all the resources and effort in the disaster areas. These two academic case studies, one which took place just a couple of days after the earthquake which required immediate attention and the other several months later which required a local analysis, value the endogenous work in order to build a consciousness about our reality as a stronger service than simply rebuilding.

title: SPIRAL PARABOLIC DOME: HISTORICAL STUDIES OF THE IRANIAN ARCHITECTURE

description: Ancient Dezful city is located in the SW of Iran (5000BC-2016AC) near the DEZ River. This spiral domes will be used to demonstrate the symbolic special constructions same as Tombs of the messenger Daniel (500BC), the Lion King Yaghob Saffari Era (800AD) and the Rood-band Syd (1409AD). These structures are constructed through simple and local materials. The common materials were used by the bricks and the Sarooj mixture. The Sarooj is the main mortar and manmade concrete. After thousands of years, it resists again the high tension, stresses, winds, rains erosion, enemies and wars, and sewer exposures. All bricks were set to demonstrate the cubic element around the spiral curve. It is turning around the variable circles radius on the spiral path- line which will makes a conic parabolic sharp dome. Two domes constructed in each parabolic dome. The first dome is fixed between the supports that named the inner dome. It was erected on the semi sphere space. The second dome was constructed by the parabolic conic section to show beautiful, cultural and architectural engineering. Main materials were bricks, dolomite, canes, stone blocks and the special mortar Sarooj. The height of Spiral Parabolic Dome-SPD is almost 10m and radius of inner dome is measured 2m with the ratio 2.5 that would vary with the Geo-technical conditions and architectural considerations.
