The impact that European and French legislation have on the circular economy implementation between market-driven incentives state regulation emerges as main challenge addressed in this chapter. Circular principles normative aspects of constitute best available frameworks to foresee how will evolve building construction sector France. Eiffage case study can be explained by evolution arena compo...

Waste minimization and recycling are principles of the concept of sustainable development that is now globally introduced. Construction in the sense of manufacturing goods and construction and exploitation of buildings generates a significant amount of waste. Therefore, the developing of the concept of waste management and the reverse logistics is implemented to the construction industry. A sta...

Convergence is occurring in the fields of architectural and engineering design, construction, and GIS. The primary goal is to ensure that everyone working on a building, road or highway, and infrastructure project has a seamless flow of design information. The primary business drivers for this transformative technology advance are productivity and efficiency in the design, construction and faci...

Background: Construction site safety is a major issue in the construction industry all around world. In developing country like Nepal, number of industries growing haphazardly at high rate but they are not being able to cope with factors associated safety. Objective: The main objective study explore status management public building projects and suggest measures for improvement. Methodology: To...

Emerging wireless remote sensing technologies offer significant potential in advancing the management of construction processes by providing real-time access to the locations of workers, materials, and equipment. Unfortunately, little is known regarding the reliability and practical benefits of emerging sensing technology integrated with Building Information Modelling (BIM) within an indoor bui...

Building integrated photovoltaic (BIPV) market is under developing stage with a relatively low number of installations worldwide. However, integrating photovoltaic technology into buildings is straight forward as no additional space is required and building materials are simply replaced by PV modules. Although BIPV is considered a promising technology, especially where land for large-scale PV p...

Typical construction materials and practices have a large ecological footprint. Many materials are energyintensive to produce, and construction and demolition debris constitutes a large percentage of U.S. landfill volume. Biocomposites are structural materials made from renewable resources that biodegrade in an anaerobic environment after their useful service life to produce a fuel or feedstock...

The primary goal of this thesis is to analyze current trends in the improvement of the performance and safety of glass during an earthquake. The four sections consist of an overview of glass as a building material, glass installation methods, rehabilitation methods for existing structures, and building code related issues. The thesis is based on an analysis of sources including books, journal a...
