geographic information systems (gis) are one of the fastest growing computer-based technologies of past two decades, yet, full potential of this technology in construction has not been realized. based upon gis capabilities, construction site layout is one of the areas that gis could be applied. the layout of temporary facilities (tfs) such as warehouses, fabrication shops, maintenance shops, co...

objectives: behavioral-based safety is a term used to describe the prevention of accidents, injuries and loss in the workplace. an effective behavior-based safety program relies on engaging employees to understand how unsafe behaviors lead to injuries and how to eliminate them from the workplace. this paper examines behavior-based safety program in a massive construction site. methods: for this...

The online observation of a construction site and processes bears significant advantage to all business sector. BIM is the combination of a 3D model of the project and a project-planning program which improves the project planning model by up to 6D (Adding Time, Cost and Material Information dimensions to the model). RFID technology is an appropriate information synchronization tool between the...

rough sets theory is a mathematical approach for analysis of a vague description of objects presented by a well-known mathematician, pawlak (1982, 1991). this paper explores the use of rough sets theory in site location investigation of buried concrete water reservoirs. making an appropriate decision in site location can always avoid unnecessary expensive costs which is very important in constr...
