Risk assessment for civil engineering facilities: critical overview and discussion

The present paper should be seen as a basis for discussion of important aspects of risk analysis and assessment, as well as attempting to describe risk assessment in accordance with the present state of the art. Risk assessment is thus presented in an overview form from the viewpoint of being a means for decision-making and thus within the formal framework of decision theory. First the motivati...

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...
