This paper presents a building material information system that helps construction manufacturers, architects and builders to manage building material information quickly and precisely throughout the life-cycle of a product. In the construction industry, it is getting more difficult to manage all the building resources for design and construction due to the rapid development of construction tech...

Abstract Today, due to the rapid growth of population, development of the construction industry is a necessity. All around the world, new subjects such as sustainable development, environmental pollution, conservation of resources, and reduction of CO2 emission have become the most important research topics among the scientific societies. In recent years, especially after 1997, new tools were i...

General Authority for Educational Buildings (GAEB) in Egypt is responsible for new construction and maintenance of the educational building [1]. According to the Sixth Five- Years Plan in Egypt, the program of educational structures includes new construction of about 2915 schools, with 39.8 thousand classes. Also, maintenance works for buildings about 1250 schools. These works needs a high budg...

An efficient approach to the synthesis of 1,2,3-trisubstituted indolizines is described via one-pot reactions of pyridine and dialkyl acetylendicarboxylate in the presence of ethyl 2-chloroacetoacetate in MeOH at room temperature. The corresponding 1, 2, 3-trisubstituted indolizines may be useful building blocks for the construction of complex indolizine derivatives.

Mismanagement of building materials has constantly plagued the construction industry resulting in issues of cost overrun, delay, high levels of construction waste, wastefulness, project abandonment, climate change etc. The purpose of the research is to examine an IT management of building materials’ planning and control processes using web-based technologies. The study made use of a desktop rev...

Italian railway architecture, dated from the last decades of the XIX Century, is characterized by the opposition between conflicting realities, tradition and innovation, that is historicism and modernism. So, it is often at the centre of the architectural debate to find a connotative language for this typology. Railway architecture was born from an almost “independent” culture encoded by manual...

Despite the utilization of several earthquake resistant traditional techniques in Iranian architecture throughout the centuries, the high seismic vulnerability of Iranian vernacular constructions is obvious. One of the latest innovations in building earthquake-proof emergency dwellings, prior to introducing the modern seismic design codes, took place during the successive destructive earthqu...

The rapid development of emerging technologies such as BIM has greatly promoted the intelligent prefabricated building construction. This paper adopts a research method that combines on-site investigation, field testing, and technological to explore quality control in construction integration buildings with Focusing on three key - component installation, layout, steel connection—the examines te...
