Abstract: Based upon technical feasibility and interest in Augmented Reality as a flexible framework for the development of visualization tools and human–machine interfaces for the architecture, engineering, and construction industry, ...

Abstract: Varied computing devices and automated sensors will enable new human-computer interface paradigms for interacting with digitally managed project information. The writers therefore propose the development of Mixed Reality ...

Abstract: Life cycle cost or total cost analysis of a facility begins with the initial design concept and ends with the decommissioning of the facility. Decisions made during the design and construction phases routinely consider ...

Abstract: Rebar fabrication is a labor intensive operation that uses scrap or “trash” steel for raw materials and therefore can benefit greatly from improvements in safety, productivity, and quality. Shared control through a ...

Abstract: Ordinarily, minimum design costs are associated with all construction projects regardless of their size or complexity. Consequently, the design costs are a higher percentage of the overall costs for small projects. This ...

Abstract: Intelligent compaction (IC) technologies yield a large number of data useful for quality control and quality assurance (QC/QA) in the construction of soil subgrade and embankments. A main challenge of using IC technologies ...

Abstract: Proponents of advanced technologies for the delivery of constructed facilities assert that information and automation technologies can significantly reduce construction costs. However, technology transfer has been greatly ...

Abstract: Although guidance is available for state transportation agencies to establish constructability review processes (CRPs), nationwide implementation has been slow due, in part, to a lack of clarity regarding related costs and ...
