Impact of Age on the Strength of Experience and Education Role in Fatal Injuries Prevention in Iranian Construction Craft Workers
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Over the past two decades, the construction industry has encountered the challenge of rapid aging of craft workers in many countries. In addition, the shortage of skilled workers that has emerged over the past three decades ...
BIM-Based Maintenance Management System for Healthcare Facilities
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: The reliable maintenance management system of medical equipment influences the patients’ treatment and the hospitals’ performance. Although building information modeling (BIM) technology has evolved the construction industry, ...
Influence of Repair on Corrosion-Failure Modes of Square-RC Columns Located in Tidal Zone
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Chloride-induced corrosion is the main cause of premature deterioration and failure of RC structures in corrosive environments. Therefore, modeling chloride permeation and investigating different methods for the repair and ...
Optimized Mobile Crane Path Planning in Discretized Polar Space
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Improper planning and management of heavy lifts is a major cause of cost overruns, delays, and, more importantly, safety incidents in industrial megaprojects. Automated lift planning is widely acknowledged as an effective ...
An Integrated Framework for Operation and Maintenance of Gas Utility Pipeline Using BIM, GIS, and AR
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: To maintain underground utilities in a safe condition, the need for a comprehensive management and maintenance system is becoming more prominent. There are several problems with the current operation maintenance applications ...
Optimizing Heavy Lift Plans for Industrial Construction Sites Using Dijkstra’s Algorithm
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Planning lift activities of mobile cranes for a modular project can raise productivity and improve safety. An optimized lift plan is essential for multiple lifts due to high rental cost of heavy lift cranes. However, ...
Simulation-Based Multiagent Approach for Scheduling Modular Construction
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: Modular construction is a common practice for building industrial plants, particularly in the oil sands region of Alberta, Canada. Each module is a project with its own activities and constraints. These modules are ...
Evaluating Mobile Crane Lift Operations Using an Interactive Virtual Reality System
Publisher: ASCE
Abstract: Cranes are one of the most critical and expensive pieces of construction industry equipment requiring intense safety considerations. Lifting crews should attempt to develop an effective lift plan to improve the operation’s ...
Automated Method for Checking Crane Paths for Heavy Lifts in Industrial Projects
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: At present, industrial projects are constructed primarily using a prefabricated approach. The modules are produced in an off-site facility and transported on transport trailers to the construction site where they are lifted ...
Algorithm for Mobile Crane Walking Path Planning in Congested Industrial Plants
Publisher: American Society of Civil Engineers
Abstract: On-site construction of industrial projects relies heavily on large mobile cranes for the lifting of prefabricated modules, which over the years have become heavier and more voluminous. Industrial construction sites are ...
