Abstract:

In the majority of university cities in Sweden, a strong demand for student accommodations has initiated various development and research projects focusing on costs reduction and fast execution. The present thesis brings up a solution based on the development of a feasible assembly concept and process, for a Modular Building erection, where prefabricated 3D Modules are assembled into a sway steel frame. The concept has been initiated within FRAMEUP project: Optimization of Frames for Effective Assembling (RFCS contract RFS-PR-10121). One of the main project objectives was to investigate and de

Abstract:

This research uses a novel construction material (lime-pozzolan concrete) and real-world project (a school) as a vehicle for investigating the implementation or applied-innovation process in construction. The implementation of new technologies at a product-level is recognised to be an antecedent of technological change in the construction industry. A ‘real world’ construction project aiming to implement a novel lime-pozzolan concrete in the field, has been used as a process-tracing case study. Rigorous analysis of this case study project, expressly focusing on project-level communication, has

Abstract:

This work presents the development of a new framework for the commercialization of innovative products in the residential construction industry. It is the aim of this work to identify commercialization decisions, actions, risks, barriers and accelerators specific to the residential construction industry market that will increase the acceptance of product innovations for those developing them. Commercialization is broadly defined as the process of developing a business enterprise from an idea, through feasibility and implementation, to its acceptance into a market (USDOE 1999, Goldsmith 200

At an average age of 42 years, 10% of the nation’s over 607,000 bridges are posted for load restrictions, with an additional 15% considered structurally deficient or functionally obsolete. While there are major concerns with decks in 75% of structurally deficient bridges, often weight and geometry of the deck further limit the load rating and functionality of the bridge. Traditional deck systems and construction methods usually lead to prolonged periods of traffic delays, limiting options for transportation agencies to replace or widen a bridge, especially in urban areas.

Abstract:

<p> More production equals more waste, more waste creates environmental concerns of toxic threat. An economical viable solution to this problem should include utilization of waste materials for new products and one that minimizes the heavy burden on the nation's landfills. The importance of recycling is huge because it saves natural resources, saves energy, reduces solid waste, reduces air and water pollutants, and reduces greenhouse gases. The construction industry can start being aware of and take advantage of the benefits of using waste and recycled materials. Studies have investigated the

Abstract:

Tilt-up construction features the use of factory or site cast (not precast) reinforced concrete panels that are tilted about one edge and/or lifted into position to form the walls of a building. This method of construction benefits the builder by offering time and cost savings. It is also attractive to architects because of the variety of surface finishes and panel shapes that can be achieved. Due to this versatility, Tilt-up construction has evolved from its beginnings in factory buildings to sophisticated commercial and multi-unit residential construction.

The management of construction projects has been heavily criticised by government institutions, academics and practitioners for delays, cost overruns and suboptimum performance.

This is consistent with the findings of this study, which again confirms the insufficiency of the techniques available to the general practitioner. This

Abstract:

My intention is to contribute to the field of exhibition-making a repertoire of presentation modes, previously not analysed or documented, that can be applied to the display of fashion in the museum and which will extend those techniques currently available to the exhibition-maker to create meaningful and stimulating exhibition environments. Part 1 contextualises my investigation, through discussion of the exhibition as source material, the methods employed to execute the research and analysis of relevant literature. Part 1 concludes with an introduction to ModeMuseum, Antwerp, which is the pr

Abstract:

The inevitability of the Fourth Industrial Revolution highlights the current lack of innovation within the building process, where the construction site continues to refer to methods strongly rooted in building traditions and narrow technological choices. While the construction industry must manage risks based on economics, labor, and safety, new technologies highlight the need to identify new methodologies to enhance construction roles. Interventions carried out according to a digital data-driven strategy can respond to the growing demand for higher quality with prediclatble times in a comple

Abstract:

A crucial factor to enable low-income families to participate in the gradual development of their homes is to find a link between their building activities and those of the large-scale building sector. Amidst technological development and increasing demand for housing, the large-scale sector, such as government and private groups, resorted to industrialised housing to replace traditional and conventional building materials and methods. Industrialisation, however, resulted not only in expensive and inappropriate dwellings but also eliminated homeowners from the building process and manag

Abstract:

This study has presented a thorough review on steel Modular Building Systems including the execution of case studies on real-world MBS projects to establish an understanding of the current development and shortcomings of this emerging technology for which innovative solutions are later introduced. The review determined that the major limitations of this technology included lack of structurally-efficient designs, poor control of construction tolerances, impractical to construct designs and lack of measures to address fire-resisting performance. Several innovative design concepts were incorporat

Abstract:

This thesis seeks to examine how the meaning of corporate identity was constructed through the corporate advertisements that were published in Nigeria's national press media between 1970 and 2005 by the major operators in the Nigerian banking industry. In order to accomplish this task, this research has been divided into ten chapters. The first chapter introduces the research. It conceptualises a research question and provides an overall trajectory for this thesis. Chapter two established four ontologically grounded reasons for pursuing this research from the social constructionist perspective

Abstract:

This dissertation presents the development of a new framework for international commercialization of innovative structural products in residential construction. Development of his framework required the examination of six subjects related to international commercialization. 1) commercialization models previously developed, locally and internationally, 2) barriers to the process, 3) stakeholders, actions, and decisions critical to the process, 4) characteristics of innovations that are suitable for international use, 5) characteristics of foreign markets that are ideal to adopt such inno

Abstract:

The technical development of highways in Russia is 40-50 years behind the development of motorways in leading foreign countries. Therefore, it can be argued that to date, road construction is not actively engaged in innovative activities. The purpose of this work is to develop a methodological approach to improving the efficiency of road construction enterprises based on their innovative activities. The sources used were educational and research literature, statistical collections, normative documentation, and materials of the scientific press. The master's thesis developed a methodological ap
