Abstract: E-commerce is steadily becoming a reality in the construction industry. However, despite the increasing rate of utilization by owners and contractors alike, the legal implications of using e-commerce in construction have ...

Abstract: Simulation modeling and visualization can substantially help in designing complex construction operations and in making optimal decisions where traditional methods prove ineffective or are unfeasible. However, there has ...

Abstract: The presented work extends the state-of-the-art of visualizing discrete-event construction simulations in three dimensions (3D). Efficient methods are presented along with a tool,

Abstract: This paper describes research that investigated the application of the global positioning system and 3 degree-of-freedom (3-DOF) angular tracking to address the registration problem during interactive visualization of ...

Abstract: This paper discusses the feasibility of using augmented reality (AR) to evaluate earthquake-induced building damage. In the proposed approach, previously stored building information is superimposed onto a real structure ...
