Abstract:

This article has certain goals and tasks for solving some engineering problems. The analysis of the situation regarding the applicability of risk management in the construction industry of the Russian Federation is presented. The reasons for the low prevalence of this means of ensuring the mechanical safety of buildings and structures are revealed. Examples of the application of risk management in the West, as well as examples and reasons for non-use in Russia are given. Measures and recommendations are proposed to change this situation in the construction sector. References are given to sourc

Abstract:

The accurate measurement of labor productivity data can mean the difference between the success and failure of a building construction project. Due to the sheer diversity and complexity of international building construction practices, minimal research has been performed on comparative labor productivity between countries. In this paper, the authors present a research project that was conducted by comparing the Chinese labor productivity with the U.S. labor productivity in building construction projects. The labor productivity data were collected from different jobsites in the U.S. and China b

Abstract:

Rapid technological progress in construction requires that more and more attention should be paid to human security issues. Threats occur both at the stage of building facilities and during their use. Some impacts are easy to identify during construction stage like shocks and vibrations, others are hidden from sight and direct sensing like the harmful effect of chemicals. In addition to accidents that happen on construction sites, there are still objective threats, which may occur throughout the lifetime of the facility. In addition to clearly perceptible ones such as earthquakes, hurricanes,

AbstractThe construction industry in India is the country’s second largest industrial sector, after agriculture. The construction industry makes a remarkable contribution to the Indian economy and provides employment to a large number of people of India.

At present European buildings typically consume two to five times more energy than predicted at the design stage. An important cause of this performance gap is the discrepancies between the design specification and the As-Built condition. Such discrepancies are mainly due to the gaps in knowhow between design, production and construction professionals. Design is more and more contained into a virtual environment and loses touch with the physical production and construction sites.

Construction is regarded as an essential industry, at least in a limited capacity, in many states, and it is cur¬rently challenged to keep workers safe on the jobsite. Social distancing, the first line of defense, requires workers to be a minimum of 6 ft (2 m) apart. But construction, especially concrete construction, often requires teams to be much closer together for some work functions, so other measures become important. Work on construction sites is being made safer through health screening, respirators and other face coverings, and frequent cleaning, among other things.

Abstract:

Due to the economic growth and improvement of the construction industry witnessed by most countries, there has become a crucial need for employing modern possibilities in the construction sector to build taller, longer and deeper structures. However, one aspect that heads forward with the same intensity is the generation of 100 million tons of construction waste every year. This generation has occurred due to several factors with different levels of importance. Hence, this study reveals 15 factors influencing construction waste generation and categorizes them into 3 groups, (materials manageme

The history of the construction industry worldwide is full of projects that were completed with significant time and cost overruns. In an attempt to reverse this trend, this study aims at establishing the relationship between time overrun and labour productivity on construction sites in Lagos, Nigeria. 43 technical and management staff of some medium and large construction firms based in Lagos, Nigeria were sampled and administered a questionnaire survey. The questionnaire contained 18 causes of project time overrun and 14 causes of low labour productivity which had been identified from the li

Abstract:

The British Standard Code of Practice for noise control on construction and demolition sites has been in existence for 21 years. In that time, it has evolved and been expanded to cover both other open site activities and also to include vibration. This paper considers the evolution and some of the thought processes and driving forces to implement the changes which have occurred. It also reviews experience of the use of the Code and perceived shortfalls, and whether these have any material impact on the Code's validity. Experience has shown that the Code has stood the test of time and served th

Abstract:

The construction industry is prone to major safety hazards owing to the complex and onsite nature of construction projects. Hence, construction researchers have been pursuing concepts, methods, and tools using advancing technologies to improve construction safety management. Subsequently, the rapid digitization of construction work practices is providing opportunities to improve construction safety. Research has revealed that construction safety management practices can benefit from the applications of virtual design construction technologies (VDC), such as building information modeling (BIM),

The issues of environmental impact on building processes constitute a permanent aspect of the building industry, irrespective of various preventive actions (prefabrication, robotics etc.). The proposed method was developed in the course of tracking problems that arise during performance of building processes exposed to weather impact (as an example of interruptions) on construction sites of airports, highways, logistic centres, or installation of tall building facades. The proposed approach is based on creating multiple variants for process realization options, thus enabling adaptation to curr

The Malaysian government has endorsed the use of an industrialized building system (IBS) in domestic projects. These have shifted the focus of the nation's construction industry towards mass production and modular products. A proper study on site selection criteria for new IBS precast manufacturing sites has now become essential. The preliminary study in this research determines the IBS precast manufacturing site selection criteria from literature reviews. Questionnaires pertaining to IBS acceptance and preference criteria were send to manufacturers, policymakers, academicians and contractors.

On the territory of the Russian Federation, a sufficient number of regulatory documents in the construction industry have been developed and put into effect, which regulate the activities of designers and builders in the field of energy efficiency, including in matters of energy losses. However, today this direction is not sufficiently developed: more than 10 % is spent on air heating during infiltration, while the process itself requires the most detailed study.
