title: QUANTIFYING THE IMPACT OF CONGESTION ON CONSTRUCTION LABOR PRODUCTIVITY USING AGENT-BASED MODELING

description: Several findings from the construction field stipulate that productivity falloffs are primarily management-related
description: however, this notion does not consider the direct impact of these same management decisions on the workers themselves. For instance, the planning of the workspace layout delves in a spatial configuration which if not properly managed can potentially result in congestion that, in turn, directly affects labor productivity. Previous research efforts developed models to analyze the effect of congestion on labor productivity but failed to capture all the complexities of this mechanism and its dynamics. Therefore, this paper puts forward the groundwork of an agent-based simulation model (ABM) and presents work targeted at quantifying the impact of congestion on the productivity of construction crews. More specifically, the ABM model takes into account two construction trades working in the same area and tackles five scenarios each depicting different congestion and interaction levels. At the heart of this simulation is a quantitative model that defines essential congestion metrics and outputs space interference values. Experiments were conducted and results highlighted that the higher the space interference values the less productive the crews become. Additionally, these values will constitute an integral part in future work when studying the impact of congestion on the crews' learning curve, whereby the latter being a major gauge for levels of productivity.

title: QUANTITY UNCERTAINTIES IN REINFORCEMENT WORKS  COMPARISON OF PUBLIC VERSUS PRIVATE CLIENTS

description: Uncertainties are systematically considered and dealt with by applying probabilistic calculation methods, such as Monte Carlo simulations. When selecting appropriate distribution functions for input parameters, users are constantly faced with the issue of having to choose the "right" distribution function for the relevant parameter. Quantities of individual works play a crucial role for costing and pricing, but also for construction process and logistics planning purposes. Quantities stated by the client in its structural specifications are fraught with uncertainties owing to, for instance, incomplete plans at the time of specification, inaccurate calculations, or mere estimates. This is why actual quantities can either be greater or smaller than the specified quantities. This paper demonstrates how distribution functions can be derived from expert surveys delivering responses from actual construction practice. Specific reference is made to reinforcement works whilst distinguishing between public and private clients. The outcomes of the survey presented and discussed in this paper include descriptive data analyses as well as violin plots and fitted distribution functions.

title: REACTIVE DEVALUATION AS A BARRIER AGAINST AMICABLE CONSTRUCTION DISPUTE SETTLEMENT

description: Disputes are common in construction projects. Protracted unresolved dispute destroys contracting parties' desire to fulfil the project objectives. In this regard, promoting amicable and efficient construction project dispute resolution (CPDR) has been one of the key recommendations of almost every construction industry review. However, disputants' irrational behaviors would derail trajectory to settlement. Notable example of irrational decision is failing to seize settlement option that provides utility to both disputing parties. This can be the result of a deep-rooted psychological barrier called reactive devaluation (RD). RD describes the behavior of habitually devaluing the proposal raised by the counterpart. Disputants would reject a proposal irrespective of the quality and reasonableness of the proposal, just because it is raised by the counterpart. The occurrence of RD in CPDR would block proposal exchanges that are inevitable if a settlement is to be reached. This study aims to examine the application of RD in CPDR. Possible manifestations of RD in CPDR scenario were summarized and a conceptual framework of RD was proposed. Five types of RD were identified: reluctance to change, doubts about counterpart's ability, overconfidence, biased information processing, and mistrust of the counterpart. Furthermore, suggestions to alleviate RD were also discussed.

title: RECTIFICATION THEORY AND REINFORCEMENT PRACTICE BASED ON THE PRINCIPLE OF COUNTERFORCE CENTER

description: Like buildings with other types of foundations, buildings with pile foundations can tilt because of irrational designs, imperfections of foundation treatment, poor construction qualities, even the change of water environment during usage, etc. By studying and analyzing the causes for the inclination, this paper has proposed a theory of rectification and reinforcement for buildings with pile foundations based on the principle of counterforce center, which makes building be rectified by changing the counterforce center of pile foundation so that it can be in the same vertical line with the gravity center of upper structure. Then the calculation method was given. Combining with an engineering project, it has been proved that the principle of counterforce center is a good guidance for the rectification and reinforcement for buildings with pile foundations.

title: REDUCTION OF CO2 EMISSIONS IN CEMENT PRODUCTION BY USING PREHEATER

description: Cement has a pivotal role in the construction industry. However, cement is one of the key contributors to global CO2 emission levels. This is due to the energy-intensive nature of cement production processes. This comparative-descriptive study focuses on the potential factors to reduce the CO2 emission level in cement production and the decision-making process of adopting new environmental-friendly technology in production. Particularly, this study compares alternative technologies in cement manufacturing to reduce CO2 emission. It collects both the industry data and the data from Texas, which is the biggest contributor to CO2 emission in the US, to analyze how a shift in production technology could affect CO2 emission and eventually improve the outcomes of environment protection and energy efficiency. This paper projects a possible improvement of implementing the method of preheater-precalciner in cement production in lieu of wet and long-dry process to upgrade kilns and reduce problematic CO2 emission. This study suggests shifting from wet and dry kilns to preheaterprecalciner systems to obtain the potential benefits of CO2 emission reduction in the cement industry.

title: REHABILITATION OF MARINE TERMINAL PIERS

description: This paper presents practical methods and techniques for rehabilitation and strengthening marine terminal piers in the USA. These piers are waterfront structures for berthing of large cargo vessels and cruise vessels. Typically, the piers consist of timber or concrete deck supported on multiple pile bents. The piers are subjected to large impact forces from the mooring of the vessels acting at the fenders and bollards, in addition to the other normal vertical dead and live loads. Depending on the size of the vessels, the design service loads on the bollards are in the range of 100 tons to 200 tons. Other possible severe loads are from the winds and waves during the hurricanes. The piers are continuously exposed to outdoor, marine and coastal environments, which are corrosive in nature. For these reasons, all piers of 15 years or more are normally up for repair/rehabilitation. Typical deteriorations found are: cracked and spalled concrete, rust in exposed reinforcing bars, broken timber piles, timber piles with reduced cross sections, cracked concrete piles, corroded steel piles, and displaced out-of-plumb piles. The paper presents the methods for repairing the above-mentioned defects. For concrete crack and spall repair: sealing with epoxy, concrete patching and shotcrete are used. For pile repair: concrete jacketing of piles is used for splicing or strengthening of piles.

title: RESEARCH ON THE MEASURES AGAINST LARGE EARTHQUAKES AND TAKING REFUGE AT ONE'S OWN HOME

description: The possibility of a huge earthquake striking Tokyo in the future is high. In the event of such an earthquake, many people will face problems such as the inability to return to their homes, which will cause complete disorder and confusion in the city as it will be impossible for everyone to access emergency shelters. If buildings remain safe, it will be desirable for residents to take refuge at home. In this study, we investigated the disaster awareness of 461 residents in central Tokyo using an internet survey. Our results reveal that approximately 60% of residents expect to take refuge at their own homes. However, almost none of the respondents have emergency supplies such as water, food, and other daily necessities. This lack of preparedness could result in many people having to move to emergency shelters when disaster strikes. By analyzing these results, we aim to develop a method for avoiding confusion in the aftermath of a disaster and educate building residents on their needs and the preparatory actions they must take in such situations.

title: RESEARCH ON WIND PERFORMANCE AND FIELD EXPERIMENT OF LARGE SCALE COMPLEX SURFACE SPACE TRUSS WITH STEEL PIPE

description: The wind-induced performance response of large-span truss curved roofs is extremely complex and changes obviously under wind load. This paper has taken the large-span steel roof of Liu Zhaike highway toll station as an example to analyze by both numerical simulations and field tests of responses of the steel canopy under wind load. In this case, simulated analysis results using finite element software were calibrated and verified by the field test results. In addition, a new method of large structure field testing was proposed which obtained the internal force and displacement of the canopy structure. Moreover, this paper analyzed and determined the actual stress state of the rectangular pipe truss. Finally, the safety condition of the roof was evaluated based on the monitoring data and the simulation of the finite element model. And the analysis methods provides references for similar engineering field tests, as well as guidance for the operation and maintenance for this project.

title: RESPONSE SURFACES FOR PROPERTIES OF CONCRETE WITH CLAY BRICK POWDER AS SUBSTITUTE FOR CEMENT

description: This study examined the application of pulverize clay brick wastes as alternative constituent for Portland cement replacement in green concrete production using the response surface methodology (RSM). The adopted response surface approach is central composite design (CCD). The statistical models were developed between the concrete constituents (clay brick powder and water cement ratio) and their response variables (slump, compressive and split tensile strength). Relationships were established and mathematical models in terms of actual factors from predicted responses were developed. The influence of the considered factors on the properties of response were visually observed from the contour and response surface plots. The statistical models of experimental values clearly depict that the obtained experimental values are in close agreement with the predicted values, which validates the response surface models with desirability value of 1. The results show that pulverized clay brick waste have significant influence on the properties of concrete than the water cement (w/c) ratio, however, a declining trend was seen for all analyzed concrete properties. In addition, this study showed that the pulverized waste brick can be used as alternative substitute for Portland cement up to 20% in the production of sustainable concrete.

title: Parkes observations for project P991 semester 2018OCTS_08

description: Finding radio pulsars orbiting near Sgr A* is a major goal of pulsar surveys with existing telescopes and future telescopes such as the Square Kilometer Array (SKA). The discovery of such pulsars will allow us to measure relativistic effects through timing of pulsars in tight orbits around Sgr A*, to characterise the distribution of dark matter near Sgr A*, to study the stellar population in the GC region and to probe the scattering region around Sgr A*. Although several surveys of the GC region have done, the Ultra-Wideband Low (UWL) receiver provides us a much wider frequency coverage with great sensitivity and therefore it is an excellent chance to revisit the GC region. At around 4GHz, a survey with UWL will achieve a sensitivity significantly higher than previous Parkes and Green Bank surveys, especially for pulsars with short spin periods and high dispersion measures.
