title: COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT OF TRANSPORTATION SUSTAINABILITY RATING SYSTEMS

description: The construction industry contributes a significant amount of greenhouse gas emissions to the environment. This highlights the need for this industry to implement sustainable practices to mitigate its negative effects. Sustainability in the construction industry involves considering project development in terms of economic, social, and environmental aspects (triple bottom line). In the transportation sector of the construction industry, several transportation sustainability rating systems (TSRS) have been developed to measure and promote sustainability. However, studies show that these TSRS have not been developed within a consistent "sustainability scope". This raises the question of the consistency of these TSRS in measuring sustainability of transportation projects. This study assesses three prominent TSRS to determine how each measures sustainability with respect to the triple bottom line. The TSRS that are in the scope of this study are: (i) Envision  a third-party rating system, (ii) INVEST a self-assessed rating and, (iii) GreenLITES  an in-house developed self-assessed rating system for the New York State DOT. Results show that while these three rating systems provide different levels of credits/points with respect to the triple bottom line, they all place the highest focus on the environmental aspect.

title: Conceptual Business Models of Strategic Logistic Services for Small-sized Contractors

description: The new Indonesian Construction Service Act has explicitly introduced the importance of supply chains for construction project delivery and sustainable supports of smallsized contractors to the Indonesian construction industry's efficiency. Most of the construction cost comes from the material cost to be delivered to the project site that needs proper logistic management. For large and medium-sized contractors, their capacities and projects values enable them to access closer tier of the supply chains
description: to the producers of strategic materials with more efficient transactions. This is not the case for small-sized contractors, therefore, there should be a strategic logistic service provided for helping them. This paper presents a development of a conceptual business model of a strategic logistic service, especially the third-party logistic service, for small-sized contractors in a small coverage area of operation. Seven business models were identified with the preliminarily identified potential to be the model for the region of Greater Bandung, Indonesia. The models were derived based on the origin entity that could transform or be created as a new business or extended business. The conceptual business models will be used for further research to develop proper and feasible business models of strategic logistic services for small-size contractors in the Greater Bandung area.

title: Cooperative Project Development - Influence of participants on success factors of real estate projects

description: Successful project development is characterized by a multitude of risks and high uncertainties. Particularly for the correct assessment of the input data, such as market and location factors, as well as the right estimation of the requirements of the user, high competences are demanded by the project developer. Many decisions, which are required for a successful project development, therefore have to be made in very early stages of the development process. Based on this it has been postulated that an early involvement of stakeholders in the process of project development has influence on the project success. In this context there was executed a quantitative survey to examine competences of planners, contractors, brokers and operators to influence deducted success factors of project development. Findings revealed that the early integration of the participants influence the project success strongly. Particularly planners have a very high influence on object based factors like building design and layout of the ground plan. For optimizing the market and location factors also an integration of brokers and operators is essential. For developers it is recommended that they are informed of the possibilities of influencing the different success factors by an integration of the main participants. So the security for project relevant decisions in the early stage of the development process can be provided.

title: Crushing Characteristics of Soil Particle on the Effect of Stress Path

description: In previous studies, we have conducted tests under various conditions of stress for the particle crushing. Anyway, it is necessary to perform the crushing test that assumed stress conditions in ground under controlled each principal stresses individually, to find the mechanical characteristics of the soil with particle crushing. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to confirm the effect for particle crushing under various stress paths in the combination of principal stresses. We planned four combinations of principal stresses when operate the mean stress p and deviatoric stress q up to the Shear Failure Line (SFL) on the ?-plane. First, we set tri-axial extension test as Lode angle ?=60ฐ and tri-axial compression test as ?=0ฐ, and set two of the remainder as ?=40ฐ, 20ฐ. The crushing tests are carried out using the high pressure true tri-axial compression apparatus under the planned stress paths. As a result, the progress of the particle crushing becomes active in order of ?=40ฐ, 20ฐ, 60ฐ, 0ฐ, and found out that deviatoric stress q has essential effect on the particle crushing.

title: DEFORMATION PERFORMANCE IMPROVEMENT IN TIMBER COLUMNGROUND SILL JOINT REINFORCED USING ARAMID FIBER SHEET

description: We report the progress of an experimental study conducted to understand the seismic performance of a timber columnground sill joint reinforced using an aramid fiber sheet, and to improve the deformation property of the reinforced joint. An aramid fiber sheet is a new material that weaves high-performance aramid fibers in one or two directions. In previous research, certain problems were found: (a) even when applying a similar reinforcement, the sheet did not necessarily demonstrate the same failure mode, and (b) when the sheet was peeled off in stretches, the joint is destroyed through brittleness. In this study, based on the preceding research, we proposed a new sheetpasting method for an improvement in the deformation property, and conducted a bending test under cyclic loading for some columnground sill joint specimens to verify the seismic performance and failure behavior. It was found that, by splitting the sheet, the problems of the preceding research are avoidable.

title: Design and build  A delay reduction method for construction projects

description: The paper reports on a study of the impact of traditional and design & build delivery methods to ameliorate schedule delays in the South African construction projects. A case study approach of two similar projects was adopted for the study. Data was compiled from document analysis and semi-structured interviews. Selection of projects was purposive and convenience based. A comparative analysis of the two projects was performed on delays to inform on which delivery method ameliorated better the impact of schedule delays. Findings were that design and build marginally reduced the impact of consultant related delays. Little impact was however found for client, contractor and design change related delays. Most construction projects suffer delays, which inevitably increases the contract sums. Reducing the impact of delays is therefore critical. Choice of a delivery method offers an opportunity to reduce the delays and therefore it is valuable to understand which delivery method offered better results. Findings underscore the importance of seeking alternative methods to improve performance. The design and build method seemed to perform better than the traditional method on delay reduction. The implication is that although clients prefer "safe' methods, alternative delivery methods offered better results.

title: Design and planning of scaffolding system

description: In this paper, the automatic design method of scaffold was proposed. This method was programmed using web based PHP program under the safety standard and the designer's know-how. The size and the numerical quantity of the scaffold were calculated considering the relation between the scaffolding condition and the constructing structure. Three dimensional positions and the numbers of the individual scaffold materials were calculated and recorded in the data server simultaneously. Then, three dimensional structural drawings were made automatically using the AutoCAD with VBA by using the previously designed material positions. Therefore, 3D drawings were done automatically. From the proposed design method, the precise quantities of scaffold materials were obtained. Also, the drawing of the scaffold was done automatically without any laborious drawing by hands.

title: Design of Flexible Pavement using marble dust in subgrade soil

description: Harnessing of industrial waste for improvement of soils is economical and efficient. It helps in enhancing the soil properties and overcoming the disposal problem. Therefore, it is essential to understand the properties of these wastes in order to understand their performance level. In this study, waste marble dust was added to stabilize the soil which was collected from Rajpura Punjab. The various index properties liquid limit, plastic limit was studied by adding Marble dust 10%,15%,20% and 25% by weight of soil. Similarly, California Bearing Ratio (CBR), Unconfined Compressive Strength (UCS) was calculated at maximum dry density obtained from compaction test. It was observed that based on tests that 20% of waste marble dust was optimum for strengthening of the parent soil. Resilient Modulus was calculated afterwards for the subgrade using models specified by Heukelom and Klomp, Thompson and Robnett, Transport and Road Research Laboratory, Erdem Coleri. Based on the results obtained, pavement thickness was determined for designing flexible pavement section as per IRC 37-2012 using IITPAVE. Design was done considering the horizontal tensile strain and vertical compressive strain at the bottom of bituminous base and at top of subgrade, responsible for fatigue and rutting of pavements.

title: Durability and  Pozzolanic Reaction of Fly Ash Concrete Exposed to Various Outside Environments

description: In this study, outside exposure tests of fly ash concrete were started in 2009 at various places in Japan in order to assess the effect of the differences of the exposure environment on the variation of long term durability of fly ash concrete and the degree of pozzolanic reaction of fly ash. This paper shows the results of durability monitoring over seven years from the start of exposure testing and the degree of pozzolanic reaction after seven years. The durability of fly ash concrete is improved due to pore structure complicated by the pozzolanic reaction. The degree of pozzolanic reaction of fly ash in concrete exposed under any conditions ends up being the same when enough time has elapsed, such as seven years, regardless of differences in exposure conditions.

title: ECONOMICAL STABILIZATION BASED ON TURK SALTY MORTAR AND GROUTING PROBABILITY FUNCTION IN SALTY FORMATIONS

description: GOTVAND reservoir dam is located in the Karun River, SW of Iran. Dam Lake's coastline is covered by the salty ridges 500,000,000 tons with 5000 m coastlines length. Layers are combined by Salt, Gypsum, clay, Marl, Silt and dolomite. TSM- Turk Salty Mortar was invented in order to stabilize the salty ridges. Components of TSM are salty water, clay, bentonite and cement. Proportion (% of total by mass) is 65% salty water, and 35% other materials. It is estimated that salty materials inter the lake by 1300 tons per day. Grouting Cost determines more than 1,000,000,000 USD in 2017 that the government was declared previously. TSM is contended to finish the work less than 100,000,000 USD (90% discount). Another suggested layout is based on the diverting the Karun River path. This research is fixed to stabilize salty domes in place. TSM grouting inside the layers needs to draw an accurate plan. Random variable interaction is defined through the salty layer and TSM. Also, it is recommended to use the -TGDF- Turk Grouting Distribution Functions for technical grouting and effective economical radius. ?P is the economical boreholes result that can be used to extend the length of grouting without cost. TGDF recommends the injection in salty layers only.

title: Education: a change agent for project failure?

description: This research paper seeks to critically assess the role of education in addressing the skills gap in managerial competences and resilience to project failure within the project management profession. In order to achieve this it will address issues relating to why projects fail. To conduct this research an unobtrusive approach is undertaken through the use of content analysis. Content analysis is used to examine the qualitative data drawn from 4 case studies on project failure. It will use a thematic approach and coding to identify emergent patterns and trends. This in turn will help to capture and identify lessons learnt that could be adopted to create a new model of educational and leadership competences for project managers. By encouraging more critical reflection in training and educational development programs, it is proposed that this will empower project managers towards a better understanding of their corporate social responsibility within their profession. This paper concludes that failure to properly educate project managers has serious implications on their professional identity and credibility as practitioners, as well as for future pedagogical practice.

title: vFoam

description: The volume of fluid (VOF) method is a popular approach for multiphase flow modeling. The open-source computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software, OpenFOAM, has implemented a variety of VOF-based solvers and provides users a wide range of turbulence models. Since flows under the VOF framework belong to the variable-density incompressible flow category, the isothermal VOF-based solvers in OpenFOAM fail to use the correct turbulence models. vFoam is designed to solve this issue and with the hope to replace all the corresponding existing solvers in the future. With the object-oriented paradigm, vFoam guarantees the usability, reusability and maintainability of the codes. Aside from turbulence modeling, all other features in the original solvers are preserved in vFoam.
