title: IMPROVEMENT OF REINFORCEMENT METHOD OF R/C CYLINDRICAL SHELL WITH OPENING

description: Reinforced concrete (R/C) chimney with a hole is prone to decrease the strength. Therefore, the particular reinforcements have been placed around the hole. Both meridional and hoop reinforcements have been placed additionally equivalent to the loss amount of reinforcements at the hole and the diagonal reinforcements have been placed to prevent the corner failures as well. Diagonal reinforcements in the shell were curved shape. It is the laborious work to place them. In this analysis, the improved reinforcement method was proposed instead of placing the conventional diagonal reinforcements. In the proposed methods, only the hoop and the meridional reinforcements were arranged around the corners instead of diagonal reinforcements. FEM analyses were done to evaluate the proposed reinforcing method. Numerical model was the cylindrical panel with a rectangular opening. From the numerical analyses, it was concluded that the R/C panel with proposed reinforcement method showed the same behavior as that with conventional reinforcement method.

title: IMPROVING MARKETING FUNCTIONS THROUGH SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE AMONG CONSTRUCTION SMEs

description: With over 3.5 billion people connected to the internet, small and medium-scale (SME) construction businesses have the opportunity to enhance their customer base. The study assessed ways by which marketing functions of SME construction businesses can be improved through social media presence of the firms. The study used a quotapurposive sampling of construction businesses in Nigeria's mega city, Lagos State. The small and medium scale construction businesses comprised of consulting and contracting firms. Using a questionnaire instrument, the social media arm of the marketing unit of SME construction businesses was measured. Presentation of the data was carried out using pie charts and principal component analysis. The study identified two main critical success factors (CSFs)  Firm/Social Media characteristics and Security/Investment factor enabling the Social Media infrastructure for SME construction businesses. A focus on these entities would ensure the successful integration of social media marketing strategies in the traditional marketing functions of construction SMEs. The survival of SME construction business is hinged on the availability of customers which social media exposure helps attract and interact with potential customers. SME Construction businesses of the 21st century must align with the 'global village' trend of incorporating social media applications in their traditional marketing functions.

title: IMPROVING OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY BY USING ADVANCED TECHNOLOGIES AND BIM

description: Despite a slight decrease in the number of accidents at work on German construction sites, a large number of accidents on construction sites occurred as a result of the collision of different trades. An important potential is in the optimization of the safety and health by making available predefined information about work safety for all involved trades. The aim of the project is the application of the BIM-method and the use of RFID-technology and Augmented Reality to improve work safety in the real estate and construction industry. It has to identify, define, and standardize information relevant to work safety so that they can be used for prevention-measures with Building Information Modeling (BIM). To do so, a process map was developed to map all relevant occupational health and safety processes during the lifecycle phases of a building. Therefore, all work safety-relevant processes have to be identified and defined. Furthermore, a demonstrator was developed in order to show possibilities like the usage of Augmented Reality (AR) and a commercially available tablet with a web app, in combination with Bluetooth beacons and RFID technology, based on a common data base. This will lead to the possibility of cross-company planning regarding work safety-relevant processes with BIM as well as the optimization of work safety in additional use of AutoID-Technologies.

title: INCREASING THE HEIGHT OF A GUYED STEEL STACK WHICH IS SUPPORTED ON AN INDUTRIAL BUILDING

description: The paper studied the rehabilitation and increase in height of an existing 30 ft tall, industrial, guyed steel stack, which was built around 1977. The stack is supported on an industrial building. Stacks are an essential part of the industrial facilities. They allow the discharge of chemical waste gases from industries to the atmosphere, under stringent pollution control guidelines. The height of the stack is increased by 40 ft to comply with the new guidelines. Analytical and numerical simulations were performed using MecaStack software (local model) and SAP2000 V.20 software (global model). Analysis and design are based on the ASME STS-1-2016 standard code. Discontinuity around the manhole at the bottom of the stack is investigated with SAP2000 V.20 finite element software. Results in terms of principle stresses, and Von-Mises stress, were used to prepare recommendations, repair and construction documents for the project.

title: INFLUENCE OF CURVED WEB CLOSED STEEL SECTIONS IN BRIDGE DESIGN

description: A bridge is nowadays more than a structure that connects people over an obstacle. When a bridge has to be built in an urban area, either it has to be a landmark or it should blend away in the environment. The use of curved steel panels is one option to obtain these requirements. However, due to a lack of knowledge, engineers end up with a conservative design to implement these structural elements. For that reason, a Finite Element Model is made of a railway bridge, where the outer webs of the main girders have a varying web curvature. Six different models are made and compared. The most important parameters that are compared are the deformations and the stresses in the webs. The study finds that curved webs have an equal or even better behavior than flat webs, even with smaller web thickness. This makes that designers can use curved webs in their design, without needing extra steel to make their design safe

title: Alaskan Population Demographic Information from Decennial and American Community Survey Census Data, 1940-2016

description: These data comprise Census records relating to the Alaskan people's population demographics for the State of Alaskan Salmon and People (SASAP) Project. Decennial census data were originally extracted from IPUMS National Historic Geographic Information Systems website: https://data2.nhgis.org/main (Citation: Steven Manson, Jonathan Schroeder, David Van Riper, and Steven Ruggles. IPUMS National Historical Geographic Information System: Version 12.0 [Database]. Minneapolis: University of Minnesota. 2017. http://doi.org/10.18128/D050.V12.0). A number of relevant tables of basic demographics on age and race, household income and poverty levels, and labor force participation were extracted. These particular variables were selected as part of an effort to understand and potentially quantify various dimensions of well-being in Alaskan communities. The file "censusdata_master.csv" is a consolidation of all 21 other data files in the package. For detailed information on how the datasets vary over different years, view the file "readme.docx" available in this data package. The included .Rmd file is a script which combines the 21 files by year into a single file (censusdata_master.csv). It also cleans up place names (including typographical errors) and uses the USGS place names dataset and the SASAP regions dataset to assign latitude and longitude values and region values to each place in the dataset. Note that some places were not assigned a region or location because they do not fit well into the regional framework. Considerable heterogeneity exists between census surveys each year. While we have attempted to combine these datasets in a way that makes sense, there may be some discrepancies or unexpected values. The RMarkdown document SASAPWebsiteGraphicsCensus.Rmd is used to generate a variety of figures using these data, including the additional file Chignik_population.png. An additional set of 25 figures showing regional trends in population and income metrics are also included.

title: KEY KNOWLEDGE ENABLER FACTORS FOR EFFECTIVE BIM IMPLEMENTATION IN CONSTRUCTION ORGANIZATIONS

description: Building information modeling (BIM) is an innovative approach that is widely used to overcome various challenges in the construction industry. Current BIM implementation mainly focuses on information management, but puts very limited effort on knowledge. That is, the current BIM practice is information-centered, but it is not mature enough to generate and capture experiential knowledge. In addition, knowledge management (KM) is limitedly adopted for BIM implementation. Based on this paper's rigorous literature review as well as a survey questionnaire, nine knowledge enablers and 52 knowledge enabler factors for BIM implementation (KEFBIs) are identified. In this paper, we deploy ISM fuzzy MICMAC to identify and classify the key KEFBIs that influence BIM implementation by contractors. The results can guide contractors to avoid difficulties while adopting BIM so that they can plan and allocate their resources optimally.

title: INFLUENCE OF PROJECT PREPARATION QUALITY ON THE PROJECT OUTCOME: A QUALITATIVE APPROACH

description: To achieve the targets of all project key stakeholders, construction projects, in particular, require sufficiently long preparation and execution periods that go beyond ensuring project break-even. Assessing the break-even, or commercial viability, of a project directly depends on its complexity and underlying conditions. Time and funds are necessary to achieve a sufficiently high quality in construction project management, planning, and specification. At the project planning stage, the budget associated with specific use requirements should be calculated whilst also determining the quantities and quality standards achievable within a pre-defined budget. To successfully plan and execute construction projects, it is crucial to identify available resources in terms of funds and time in advance, thus making it possible, at a very early stage, to strike a realistic balance between the (financial) project targets and the available budget. If these targets exceed the budget, works are often specified incompletely, or specified quality standards are lowered with a view to arrive at lower costs in early project phases in order to ensure that the required permit is issued. This paper adopts a qualitative approach to highlight the influence of project preparation (i.e. project lead time and project preparation budget) on achieving the client's/owner's project targets.

title: INFLUENCE OF RAILING STIFFNESS ON WHEEL LOAD DISTRIBUTION IN TWO-SPAN CONCRETE SLAB BRIDGES

description: The American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) Standard Specifications or LRFD do not account for the presence of railings in the analysis and design of concrete slab bridges. This paper presents a parametric investigation of the influence of railing stiffness on the wheel load distribution in simply-supported, two-equal-span, and one- and two-lane reinforced concrete slab bridges using the finite-element analysis (FEA). A total of 160 bridge cases were modeled and bridge parameters such as span lengths and slab widths were varied within practical ranges. Various railing stiffness were investigated by assuming railings built integrally with the bridge deck and placed on both edges of the bridge. The FEA wheel load distribution and longitudinal bending moments were compared with reference bridge slabs without railings as well as to the AASHTO design procedures. Accordingly, the presence of railings reduced the FEA negative moments by a range of 54% to 72% and the FEA positive moments by a range of 40% to 61% depending on the railing stiffness. This reduction in slab moments due to the presence of railings could be considered an increase in the bridges load carrying capacity. The results of this investigation will assist bridge engineers in better designing and/or evaluating concrete slab bridges in the presence of railings. This could also be considered an alternative for strengthening existing concrete slab bridges.

title: INNOVATION OF USING WASTE MATERIALS AS A REPLACEMENT OF CEMENT IN PCC

description: Portland cement (PC) is used in the production of Portland cement concrete (PCC) to construct many infrastructure components such as rigid pavements. This research aims at studying the effect of using common waste materials in Egypt as a replacement of PC in the production of PCC. Using waste materials in concrete production could be an effective measure in maintaining the environment, improving the properties of PCC, and reducing cost of production. Nowadays, pavement technologist and researchers had put their interests on nanotechnology. This paper outlines the innovation of using Nanotechnology-based waste materials as a replacement of PC to enhance the physical and mechanical properties of PCC. The experimental work, using waste materials such as ceramic waste (CW) and ground-granulated blast-furnace slag (GGBFS), was conducted in five phases. In phase-1, CW was used with 20%, 25%, 30%, 35%, 40% and 45%
description: while in phase-2, GGBFS was used with 5%, 10%, 15%, 20%, and 25% by weight of cement. In phase-3, the best three ratios of CW were used in conjunction with the best ratio of GGBFS. In phase-4, different ratios of CW and GGBFS were used in conjunction with a standard ratio of Un-Hydrated lime (UHL). In phase-5, various mix of CW, GGBFS and UHL were suggested based on previous results. Modified PCC mixtures were produced, tested and compared to the conventional concrete in terms of Index Tests and Advanced Tests (e.g., X-ray diffraction and SEM Microscopy). Results showed that the cost of PCC production is reduced by 34% in average comparing to the control mix.

title: INTEGRATING BUILDING INFORMATION MODELING AND VISUAL PROGRAMMING FOR BUILDING LIFE-CYCLE COST ANALYSIS

description: In recent years, the fierce competition in worldwide real-estate market has pushed the stakeholders towards the sustainability for buildings. Life-cycle cost (LCC) is an effective economic evaluation tool that provides a detailed account for all costs related to constructing, operating, maintaining, and disposing a construction project over a defined period of time. Awareness of better value of money throughout the LCC is beyond the initial price. Governments and Contracting authorities add the LCC as a key provision in the context of National Codes and Council Directives to promote the growth of sustainability concept. Current LCC analytical methods are costly, laborious, and time-consuming due to the difficulties of obtaining information and implementing many single LCC analyses for all building elements, which may be attributed to the inaccuracy of results. Building information modeling (BIM) is a modern technology that can potentially overcome the asperities that obstruct practical LCC implementation. This paper develops a new automated system for performing LCC analyses for new building projects by integrating BIM authoring programming with visual programming. The proposed system consists of two main modules. The BIM module is designed to retrieve 3D geometric and physical parameters of building element types. The life-cycle cost calculation module can perform automatic estimating and report results. This system provides an economic evaluation tool for the owner to manage the total life-cycle budget of their projects

title: INVESTIGATION ON THE EFFECT OF COUNTERMEASURES FOR SUBSIDENCE AT THE APPROACHING AREAS OF ABUTMENTS

description: The purpose of this study is to confirm the effect of soil improvement methods on preventing ground subsidence at the back of abutments. Earthquake seismic analysis is performed for three models. One is a model with no ground improvement. Next is a model with deep mixing method. The third is the model with lightweight banking method. As a result, from the perspective of the passage possibility of the emergency vehicles, both the deep mixing method and lightweight banking method are effective in preventing ground subsidence at the approaching area of abutments. However, in the case of the deep mixing method, it is found that the maximum bending moment of the pile under the liquefaction layer increases because a lump of improved rigid soil that falls down toward the piles.
