At the present time, electronic data exchange in construction industry is mainly used for the exchange of information related to technical design, most of the time using proprietary data formats from the CAD systems in use. Planning, control and management activities are very often not supported automatically, and standard models to enable their automatic data exchange are just now coming from ...

[email protected] Abstract — As powerful as Building Information Modeling (BIM) tools are in modeling the built environment, current BIM strategies limit the size of facilities that can be modeled while increasing the time needed for modeling and the quality of BIM models produced. In the same way that prefabricated modular construction techniques are improving the speed and quality of const...

Prefabricated construction offers numerous advantages, such as high efficiency and energy efficiency. However, its promotion is impeded by the significant associated costs. Thus, primary objective of this study to investigate overall life-cycle costs prefabricated construction, with a specific focus on hidden To achieve objective, establishes comprehensive evaluation index system comprising 31 ...

Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from construction processes are a serious concern globally. Of the several approaches taken to assess emissions, Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based methods do not just take into account the construction phase, but consider all phases of the life cycle of the construction. However, many current LCA approaches make general assumptions regarding location and effects, ...

Traditional houses (Figure 1) in Southeast Asia are typically constructed using prefabricated of ready-made housing components. This construction technique is feasible due mainly to the geography and climate of the region, namely proximity to the sea and high annual rainfall, and has been passed down through generations by the local people. However, a shift of socio-economic pattern from tradit...

A new principle for radon protection is currently presented which makes use of a system of horizontal pressurised air ducts located within the lower part of the rigid insulation layer of the ground-floor slab. The function of this system is based on the principles of pressure reduction within the zone below the ground-floor construction. For this purpose a new system of prefabricated lightweigh...

The prefabricated pier structure has the advantages of low energy consumption, high mechanized level, which meets green development trend construction industry, with broad application prospects. This paper analyzes process and principle top platform bearing pier, describes bearer structure, structural operation proposed a new type structure.

Abstract Prefabricated construction is attracting increasing interest in recent years, since this method has various advantages as compared to the cast-in-situ method, such less time, higher quality control and reduced environmental impact. As a typical type of prefabricated structures, precast segmental column (PSC) been used substructure accelerate speed bridges. This paper reviews performanc...

Prefabricated slab has been widely used in the global construction industry due to energy saving, environmental protection, and good economic advantages. In this paper, a new type of fully prefabricated staggered flip-down without cast-in-situ operation proposed. First, experiments were carried out on slab. The structural performance was compared with slabs composite same specification. experim...
