Academics have been devoting a growing attention to different matters involving public-private partnerships (PPPs), and, as the use of PPPs for delivering infrastructure evolves worldwide, so does number and type papers addressing this procurement model. The objective paper is undertake comprehensive literature review relating private finance initiatives (PFIs), using bibliometric analysis. More than 600 published between 1990 2014 were examined. None previously existing studies analyzed...
The construction industry has one of the highest occupational accident incidence rates among all economic sectors. Currently, building information modelling (BIM) appears to be a valuable tool for analysing safety issues throughout life cycle projects, helping avoid hazards and risks and, consequently, increasing safety. This work investigates BIM methodology application related technologies planning demonstrates potential this technology integrated implementation measures during design...
Purpose The use of building information modelling (BIM) methodology has been increasing in the architecture, engineering, construction and operation sector, driven to a new paradigm work with three-dimensional (3D) parametric models. However, mostly used for as-built models building, not yet widely by designers during project phases occupational risks prevention safety planning. This paper aims show capacity developing tools that allow adding functionalities Revit software improve procedures...
Currently, the world is facing resource scarcity as environmental impacts of human intervention continue to intensify. To facilitate conservation and recovery ecosystems transform cities into more sustainable, intelligent, regenerative, resilient environments, concepts circularity nature-based solutions (NbS) are applied. The role NbS within green infrastructure in urban resilience recognised, considerable efforts being made by European Commission (EC) achieve sustainability goals. However,...
Currently, there is extensive research focused on automatic strategies for the segmentation and classification of 3D point clouds, which can accelerate study a landmark integrate it with heterogeneous data attributes, useful to facilitate digital management architectural heritage data. In this work, an automated image-based survey has been exploited Region- Based Convolutional Neural Network. The training phase executed providing examples images anomalies be detected. At same time, laser...
Nowadays the built heritage has been recognized as one of main sectors that can support economic and sustainable development countries. In last years, subject to several levels interventions, being now clear its need for a proper maintenance conservation management. However, in cases, faces lack building records, which makes harsh, long, expensive process. Therefore, there is an opportunity apply new technologies, like Building Information Modelling (BIM), supporting tool management...
In the context of freshwater scarcity, effective water resource management is essential. This study explores techniques to optimise use local sources and promote conservation, proposing a model balance supply demand non-potable in urban environments. The serves as an alternative or complement public supplies, particularly drought-prone regions. Through qualitative analysis national international regulations, specifications, technical standards, this research identifies key trends highlights...
The construction sector generates large amounts of heterogeneous and dynamic data characterized by their fragmentation throughout the life cycle a project. Immediate accurate access to that is fundamental management, decision-making analysis owners, supervisors, managers, technicians involved in different phases project cycle. However, since are diverse, dispersed, uncorrelated, difficult visualize, reliable basis for can rarely be established management team. Aiming bridge this gap,...

This paper reports results of an investigation about the level knowledge among undergraduate computer science students in Brazil regarding topic simulation. Amid rapid technological evolution, simulation emerges as a crucial resource for training professionals capable facing complex challenges. The research seeks to analyze presence and effectiveness education, exploring students' perceptions, tools used, challenges faced, prospects deeper study. report highlights importance academic dynamic...
The main goal of this paper is to analyse the flexibility and applicability urban sustainability assessment methodologies, propose an approach for sustainable areas, also focused on mobility. Current high importance sustainability, considering its constantly evolving, associated with a growing environmental awareness population, results need reevaluate current management systems centers, trying give them larger organization efficiency, low socio-economic impact. Different methodologies were...
