Three-dimensional (3D) printing in the construction industry is growing rapidly due to its inherent advantages, including intricate geometries, reduced waste, accelerated construction, cost-effectiveness, eco-friendliness, and improved safety. However, optimizing mixture composition for 3D-printed concrete remains a formidable task, encompassing multiple variables requiring comprehensive trial-and-error experimentation process. Accordingly, this study used seven machine learning (ML)...
The construction sector is a major contributor to global greenhouse gas emissions. Using recycled and waste materials in concrete practical solution address environmental challenges. Currently, agricultural widely used as substitute for cement the production of eco-friendly concrete. However, traditional methods assessing strength such are both expensive time-consuming. Therefore, this study uses machine learning techniques develop prediction models compressive (CS) rice husk ash (RHA) ML...
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a model for building information modelling (BIM) implementation at small and medium-sized construction contractor organisations (SMOs). proposed BIM adoption assesses benefits, costs challenges faced by SMOs. Correlation between in SMOs the associated impacting factors, including knowledge support motivation, captured through model. Design/methodology/approach A literature review was first presented. Research data, collected from 80 Australia...
Since the 1980s, smart buildings have aroused interest of researchers. However, there is still no consensus on what intelligence a building is, and enhances that intelligence. The purpose this paper to identify correlate main drivers systems buildings, by associating them with beneficiaries: users, owners, environment. To these we carried out comprehensive, detailed, interpretative literature search. From selected articles, sorted information, extracted concepts knowledge, and, finally,...
This paper presents a multi-product, multi-period construction supply chain model, accounting for supplier capacity and material demand uncertainties. Robust optimisation is adopted to address model Research questions proposed are focused on: i). back-up sourcing backordering decisions' sensitivity associated cost factors, ii). effects of the inventory system on overall risk management. The answers these provide valuable insights enhancing resilience chains informative general contractors....
Climate change is one of the major concerns worldwide and greenhouse gas emissions plays an important role in increasing temperature earth's atmosphere. Furthermore, construction industry that presents a considerable environmental impact as it consumes large amounts natural resources energy. Aiming to investigate impacts, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) methodology evaluates products services showing similarities differences evaluating midpoint endpoint categories. This study reviews LCA from...
The regulation of urban property use is a fundamental instrument for the development cities. However, most norms that set general guidelines policy predate transformations smart city concept has brought about in way cities are appropriated and perceived by society, even today, studies on how these regulations collaborate to make smarter more sustainable. This work contributes filling this gap investigating main Brazilian City Statute have greatest potential contribute having sustainable To...
The choice of a suitable tower crane along with its location may considerably affect the costs and duration construction process. determines travel time transporting material between supply demand points thus operation costs. On other hand, distance as well affects minimum required load moment capacity cranes cranes' rental operating Previous studies on optimizing site have focused mainly minimizing through their time, overlooking effect This paper presents modified optimization model that...
Worldwide the construction industry presents a significant demand for new technologies ensuring certainty, cost-effectiveness and time efficiency. Modern relies on digital resources, one of most prominent novelties is Building Information Modelling (BIM). Construction planning effectiveness based clear communication integration between project planners other participants, such as engineers, architects, suppliers, workforce. The possible connection 3 D models or scheduling potentially reduces...
Buildings demand a significant amount of energy during their life cycles, hence, effective design measures need to be adopted ensure efficient usage and management in buildings. This study proposes framework based on various performance parameters enable decision-makers utilizing standard procedures software empower the process sustainable use buildings, through parametric analysis different climatic conditions. Experimental is within via related building (i.e., construction materials for...
