Civil Engineering Quality Assessment in Terms of Construction Safety Index

Quality assessment of coupled civil engineering applications

The software scenery in civil engineering is characterized by a large number of more or less specialized software applications for different tasks. To solve the tasks efficiently, each software application has its own appropriate and optimized data structure. The variety of software tools used to support the design process leads to an exchange of data and information between the involved engine...

Image processing for safety assessment in civil engineering.

Behavior analysis of construction safety systems is of fundamental importance to avoid accidental injuries. Traditionally, measurements of dynamic actions in civil engineering have been done through accelerometers, but high-speed cameras and image processing techniques can play an important role in this area. Here, we propose using morphological image filtering and Hough transform on high-speed...

Sensing methods in civil engineering for an efficient construction management

Sensing methods including Non-destructive testing and monitoring techniques are fundamental tools for performing an efficient condition management system for structures in service. They can on one hand support regular visual inspections and help on the other side to assess the actual condition and performance of a building. These methods provide reliable data for the stakeholders to estimate th...

BIM functions for optimized construction management in civil engineering

Purpose The aim of this study is to suggest configuration methodologies of active building information model (BIM) functions that enable to practically control limitations by optimizing schedule overlapping linked to its space models after analyzing workspace conflict analysis for a bridge model. This study also suggests development methodologies of active BIM-functions, linking an optimized me...
