Industrial buildings are a key element in the industrial fabric, and their maintenance is essential to ensure proper functioning avoid disruptions costly economic losses. Continuous based on an accurate diagnosis makes it possible meet challenges of aging infrastructures, which demands reliable data-based assessment for management implementing corrective preventive actions, according damage criticality. This paper researches innovative digitalized process inspection buildings, leads...

Pavement management systems employ pavement performance models to plan the most effective allocation of public funds. The used are deterministic and probabilistic or stochastic ones. Among models, Markov Chains receiving considerable research attention. In this paper, transition probability matrices (TPMs) presented for Portland Cement Concrete (PCC) road network in Republic Moldova with available International Roughness Index (IRI) data collected spring autumn from 2013 2015. Although...

Pavement performance models play a vital role in any pavement management system. The Regional Government of Biscay (RGB) (Spain) manages 1200 km road network and conducts data collections, including the International Roughness Index (IRI) values. aim paper is to develop an IRI model for two-lane roads with flexible until first maintenance and/or rehabilitation activity performed. Due huge amount available information, deterministic was selected. A literature review showed that, apart from...

It is worldwide accepted that climate change affecting cities and the conservation of cultural heritage contributes to sustainable development. However, despite high level interest research in climate-change risks on socioeconomic, urban natural systems, studies assess impacts contribute a holistic understanding subject present noticeable gaps knowledge. A systematic review meta-analysis was carried out state-of- the-art risk assessment methodologies within systems context change,...

A bibliometric analysis based on Scopus database was carried out to identify the global research trends related pavement management area from 2000 2013, and improve understanding of topics in that period. The results reveal two stable periods annual publications, 2002 with an average rate 27, 2003 2010 a value 51; period increasing production 20 publications per year after 2010. According document-type distribution, articles conference papers have almost same contribution. most productive...

Climate change is threatening urban cultural heritage's preservation and survival. To improve the resilience of systems, planning decision-making processes must consider risks that climate poses to heritage. Nevertheless, despite extensive body research on climate-related hazards, there remains a significant knowledge deficiency related assessment considers heat waves historic sites. This study's primary objective use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) data analyse how locations interact,...

Few other sectors have such a great impact on sustainability as the construction industry, which has expressed growing concerns in this regard for long time, mainly focusing environmental dimension. The assessment methodology tested study is Integrated Value Model Sustainable Assessment – MIVES, applied to industrial buildings. In addition traditional requirements (environmental, economic, and social), non-commercial involves aspects of that are also important (employee safety,...

Few other sectors have such a great impact on sustainability as the construction industry, in which concerns over environmental dimension been growing for some time. The assessment methodology presented this paper is an AHP (Analytic Hierarchy Process) based Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) and includes main factors consideration of industrial building (environmental, economic, social), well that greatly influence conceptual design (employee safety, corporate image). Its simplicity...

Efficient management of urban transportation systems is a challenge for any local government that wishes to improve public wellbeing and comfort. With end in mind, this paper proposes tool decision making policy guidance based on multiple-criteria decision-making methods the sustainability evaluation transportation. The mathematical model applied certain metropolitan areas Donostia-San Sebastian validated practical case study. It used assess overall system area further detail various...

In order to mitigate climate change, reductions of energy consumption are required on heating systems for residential and non-residential buildings. Despite radiant floor being widely used due their high thermal efficiency comfort, further improvements necessary reduce the carbon footprint mortars used. This paper studies use lime mud, a by-product industry, as partial replacement cement environmental impact resulting mortar. For that purpose, reference mortar is compared with 10%, 20%, 30%...

The management of urban transportation systems represents one the most formidable challenges for local government that generates several problems related to well-being and comfort public commute travel in their daily life. Improvements various policies practical measures can move us closer ideal sustainable areas with systems. Nevertheless, these aspirations no way ensure unanimity over effective actions take extent benefits. In response, a mathematical model has been developed...

In the context of climate change, adapting a city's open spaces to heat waves and extreme is crucial for mitigating Urban Heat Island effect ensuring wellbeing its inhabitants. However, adaptation potential varies within city. This study develops an objective replicable method categorise urban areas based on their spaces' adaptive capacity improvement at micro-scale. achieved using clustering approach, eliminating manual operations, openly available data, employing indicators suitable every...

Evidence that the construction sector is aware of sustainability issues may be found in large number tools and methodologies exist to perform evaluation. The great majority centre on environmental parameters only a few cases are economic social components studied. Within sector, it industrial building least familiar with sustainability, an area where for practical applications hardly at all. A methodology evaluation applied buildings proposed this work. It not takes account but also examines...

Skid resistance is a vital issue in pavement management, mainly relation to road safety; hence, agencies must assure minimum friction level of their networks. The regional government Biscay (Spain) uses sideways force coefficient routine investigation machine assess the present surface condition and allocate available funding better. aim this paper develop deterioration model predict skid rural two-lane bituminous roads by means factors that affect it. In an attempt include all possible...
