Abstract:
Abstract All of the pollutants found in stormwater runoff at airports, including surface and aircraft de-icing/anti-icing glycols, can be treated and removed to low levels in well-designed sub-surface flow (SSF) constructed wetland systems. There are two common forms of constructed wetlands used for pollution control: those where water flows over the surface among wetland plants (free water surface or marsh type wetlands); and SSF types where the wastewater flows below the normally dry surface of a gravel substrate in which the wetland plants grow. SSF wetlands have no open water to attract waterfowl and are particularly suitable for use at airports. Of the glycol used at Edmonton International Airport (EIA), 80 to 90% eventually entered surface runoff. Edmonton International Airport's operator, the Edmonton Regional Airports Authority (Edmonton Airports) evaluated a number of glycol management options, including constructed wetlands. As a result, a very large SSF wetland system was installed to handle glycol-contaminated stormwater. This paper reviews results of a feasibility study carried out to define design parameters and scale up kinetics for this wetland system, the detailed design that resulted, the SSF wetland's construction, and the start-up of the Edmonton facilities in August of 2000. It also compares the Edmonton wetland system with a similar facility at Heathrow Airport in the United Kingdom.

Abstract:
Background: Finding the best location for the airport reduces the negative effects of construction and its activity on the environment. This study aimed to evaluate the establishment of the airports (Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini airports) in Tehran province through integration of multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods and noise pollution modeling software. Methods: The criteria for zoning the airports were determined using Delphi method, and then, were weighed using analytic network process (ANP). One of the criteria was noise pollution. The computer aided noise abatement (CadnaA) software was used to map the noise level at the airports. The geographic information system (GIS) software and weighted overlay method were used to zone Tehran province for construction of the airports. The percentage of voice annoyance was defined according to the questionnaire provided by the International Commission on the Biological Effects of Noise (ICBEN). Results: Prioritization between the selected criteria using ANP and TOPSIS showed that the most important criteria are the land use (0.069) and the distance from the city (0.0598), respectively. The highest percentage of highly annoyed (%HA) persons was reported at both airports at Lden levels above 70 dB. Conclusion: According to the results of this study, the location of Mehrabad and Imam Khomeini airports is considered 60% and 18% inappropriate, respectively. The results introduce a set of criteria that determines compatibility rate of different activities around the airports based on the noise levels. Finally, it is recommended to study the correlation between aircraft noise pollution indicators in other airports of Iran and design a local model for the whole country.

Abstract:
The article highlights the experience of design and construction with the expansion of existing airports, considers the factors that shape the development trends of modern international airports. Some general principles and methods of expansion of international airports are revealed. The formation of modern airports is influenced by many factors, primarily socio-economic and trends in air transport. In the last 20, 30 years, the largest percentage of the world's reconstruction is with the mandatory expansion of airports. Thus, the main issues of development of modern airports are the principles and methods of their expansion. Additional factors influencing the reconstruction of modern airports are issues of terrorist and virological security. If the issue of terrorist threats has influenced functional decisions for several decades, the virological threat is quite new and requires a comprehensive study and implementation of new measures of various kinds. Also, the purpose of the reconstruction of modern airports is to improve the level of comfort and safety, which are the main factors in the marketing struggle for air passengers and air cargo. The publication considers several typical modern examples of airport reconstruction, both in Europe and in the post-Soviet space - Kutaisi (Georgia), Marseille (France), Oslo (Norway), Amsterdam (Netherlands). The publication highlights that the expansion of the airport requires some mandatory stages. Namely, determining the appropriateness of the expansion and the main functional tasks for which this expansion should take place, determining the principles and techniques by which the expansion of the terminal will be most rational, determine whether the increase in passenger traffic requires runway expansion, determine how the increase in passenger traffic additional functions (parking, trade and food services, etc.). Of the above examples of expansion of modern airports, the most accurate is the method of expansion, which is a kind of symbiosis of building a new terminal with redistribution of functions between the new and old terminal, and with the simultaneous addition of necessary planning transitions and galleries.

Abstract:
Purpose Metroplex is a system of two or more airports, in physical proximity, with highly interdependent arrival and departure operations. The purpose of this study is the construction of an efficient and effective air route model based on the point merge system (PMS) to reduce aircraft fuel consumption and CO2 emissions for three metroplex airports in Istanbul terminal control area (TMA). Design/methodology/approach A PMS arrival route model is constructed for metroplex airports. In the proposed model, two situations are taken into consideration: for delay which can be defined as flying on sequencing legs (PMSdel) and for no delay (PMSno del). An empirical model is developed using a data set including the flight data records of ten actual B737-800 domestic flights. With this empirical model, both the baseline and the PMS models (PMSdel and PMSno del) are compared in terms of fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and flight distance and time as a theoretical computation. Findings In the proposed PMSno del arrival route model, according to different entry points for Istanbul Ataturk International Airport (LTBA), the analyses show an average reduction of 26 per cent in flight time, 24.5 per cent in flight distance, 17 per cent in fuel burned and CO2 emissions; in addition, for Sabiha Gökcen International Airport (LTFJ) there are 34, 23 and 32 per cent average savings for flight time, flight distance and fuel burned together with CO2 emissions obtained, respectively. Even if the PMSdel model, for LTFJ except only one entry point, for LTBA except two entry points, better results are obtained than baseline. Practical implications The point merge model for metroplex airports in this paper can be applied by airspace designers and Air Navigation Service Providers to perform efficient and effective arrival routes. Originality/value In this study, a point merge model is constructed for metroplex airports. Quantitative results, using an empirical model, are achieved in terms of fuel consumption, CO2 emissions and flight distance and time at metroplex airports.

Abstract:
The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has taken measures to improve safety, reduce costs, increase resilience, and improve the sustainability of the United States (U.S.) airfield infrastructure by using a life-cycle cost analysis methodology to increase the efficient use of economic resources needed for expanding and preserving the airfield system. However, a life-cycle assessment (LCA) approach for evaluating the environmental impacts of decisions regarding airfield infrastructure has yet to be fully developed and applied. The objective of this study is to demonstrate the use of the airfield LCA framework that was developed for the FAA and can be used by U.S. airports. The comparison of alternative pavement designs at Nashville International Airport (BNA) is presented. The scope of the study was from cradle to laid; materials, materials transportation, and construction stages of the pavement life cycle are considered, and the maintenance, use and end of life stages are not considered. Primary data were acquired from BNA and secondary data were used in situations of unavailability of primary data. The case study showed that performing LCA provides opportunities for airports to consider energy use and environment-related impacts in the decision-making process.

Abstract:
According to the ventilation and heat issues of Beijing Capital International Airport T3 Terminal Station Transportation Center (GTC), based on the actual conditions of the building structure, geographical location, climate and other characteristics, the internal environment of temperature and other issues are analyzed and researched. And the relationship of indoor air flow and interior space of the building is established. With methods of CFD, and from the perspective of the Energy Saving and Environmental Protection, natural wind and related technology are utilizes, and natural ventilation and heat transferring guidance systems are designed, so that the internal temperature is reduced and the indoor comfort is improved. Introduction Beijing Capital International Airport is located on a piece of land of Chaoyang District on the northeast of Beijing, 25.35 km from Tiananmen Square. It is the busiest transportation and production major international airports of China, on the most important location, with the largest and most complete equipment. Beijing Capital International Airport T3 Terminal Station Transportation Center (GTC) is located to the south of the T3 Terminal Building, with total construction area of more than 34,000 square meters. 1,2-floors underground are open-large parking garage, the first floor has multi-hub facilities supporting the airport, and the second floor is suburban railway stations. The roof is a glass dome, and used long-span structures. The main functional area is a large space, and the external structure for large area is glass walls. The form is determined by functional requirements of the terminal station and visual and psychological demands of people. More precisely, the form not only is a concrete manifestation of humanized design, but also brings the problem of high energy consumption.

Abstract:
Sustainability and the concept of sustainable development now forms part of governmental policy around the world. The United Arab Emirates is no different, recognising that its ecological footprint and continued growth require management of resources and waste streams. A fundamental part of this is sustainable construction and operation of civil engineering projects such as buildings, roads and airports. Geotechnical engineering is required on practically all civil engineering projects yet is often overlooked when design and construction decisions are being made regarding civil engineering sustainability. One of the most common ways to measure sustainability in civil engineering projects is through rating tools. Rating tools have grown and developed internationally for decades and are used across the world for various different projects (buildings, roads, infrastructure etc.). The United Arab Emirates have developed their own local ratings tools (and sustainability frameworks) and have mandated their use in certain projects. There is significant scope for geotechnical engineering to contribute to improving sustainability and rating tools are one element that can be developed. A detailed review of local and international ratings tools is carried out to understand where geotechnical engineering can currently contribute and the possibilities to improve geotechnical sustainability in the United Arab Emirates are discussed.

Abstract:
Bali, an island east of Java, is one of the five international gateways connecting Indonesia with the many foreign countries from Asia, Australia, the Americas, and Europe. The island has a richness of natural scenery and cultural events based on strong Hindu's beliefs.All of these unique phenomena attract people from different cultures and nations to visit and be part of these celebrations, as well as to enjoy the warm breeze and palm trees along the beaches.A 1989 Department of Tourism, Post and Telecommunication in Indonesia's Report suggests that the number of tourist coming to private agencies are working together to improve the island'sBali increases as much as 15 percent annually ( 1989 Indonesia Hand Book). To accommodate this development, the Government and infrastructure and build accommodations which range from three to five star international hotels. The other important element that the island needs is to expandthe airport facility to accommodate the fast growing number of international flights that accommodate this.The major goal of this project is to plan and design new airport facilities with emphasis on the new design for the international terminal. This design of the new international terminal building at the Bali International Airport, Indonesia, is an attempt to introduce a new concept of a built form using vernacular architectural concepts as the starting point. The technology required by the functions inherent in the program will be used by the architect to translate these considerations into reality.The design approach for this project is mainly based on the beliefs and order which have been traditionally followed and applied by the people of Bali. However, the intention of this project is not to literally design something which has a form borrowed from the traditional form, but that which is developed beyond the traditional concept and utilized this concept in concert with modern structural engineering and materials. Therefore to ensure the success of a design for this important facility, it is imperative to find the essence and the spirit of the traditional architecture and represent them through a modern built form.

ENGLISH ABSTRACT: The demand in air travel is continuously increasing. In order to handle this increase in demand, airports need to physically expand or the management of the airports needs to improve. When the demand at OR Tambo International Airport gets too high, more passengers will need to travel to Lanseria International Airport, which will therefore need to be expanded. The study was done in collaboration with Virtual Consulting Engineers, who decided that the concept of Atlanta International Airport in Georgia, USA, which is ranked the busiest airport in the world, will be used in this expansion. The aim of the study was to minimise passenger walking distances and waiting times at Lanseria International Airport. This was done by comparing di erent airport apron layouts, using simulation, and improving the aircraft gate assignment, using the cross-entropy method. Four di erent designs of airport layouts, all based on that of Atlanta International Airport, were compared in the study. A model of each was developed using simulation. The performance measures used to compare the designs included 1) the average walking distance of arriving and departing passengers at the airport, 2) the average time spent at the airport by arriving and departing passengers, 3) the average distance travelled by aircraft at the airport, 4) the average time by which each aircraft is delayed and 5) the average number of aircraft present at the airport. The walking distance of arriving and departing passengers was largely a ected by the way in which ights were assigned to gates. The gates at the airport are of three di erent sizes: small, medium and large. Small aircraft can park at any of the gates, while medium aircraft can only park at medium or large gates and large aircraft can only park at large gates. Three rules for the ight-to-gate assignment process were developed. In the rst two rules an arriving ight was assigned to the available, suitable gate closest to the terminal building. The constraint that small aircraft cannot be assigned to medium or large gates if there are small gates available and that medium aircraft cannot be assigned to large gates if there are medium gates available, was used in Rule 1 and not in Rule 2. In the third rule, metaheuristic optimisation was used to determine a ight-to-gate assignment schedule with the objective of minimising the passenger walking distances. This metaheuristic optimisation was performed in real-time and was thus repeated every time a delay occurred at the airport. The background of airports, simulation, metaheuristics and relevant case studies were investigated in the literature review. The simulation and metaheuristic optimisation models were then developed. The results identi ed the best of the four designs that were compared. It was also concluded that the use of metaheuristic optimisation, using the cross-entropy method, results in a reduction in passenger walking distances at the airport.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Die aantal lugpassasiers neem aanhoudend toe en om in staat te wees om hierdie toename in vraag te hanteer moet lughawens sies uitbrei of die bestuur van die lughawens moet verbeter. Wanneer die vraag by OR Tambo Internasionale Lughawe te hoog raak, gaan meer mense na Lanseria Internasionale Lughawe moet reis. Die lughawe sal dan dus moet uitbrei. Die studie is in samewerking met Virtual Consulting Engineers gedoen. Hulle het besluit dat die konsep van Atlanta Internasionale Lughawe in Georgia in die VSA, wat die besigste lughawe in die w^ereld is, gebruik sal word in die uitbreiding Lanseria Internasionale Lughawe. Die doelwit van die studie was om die loopafstand en die wagtyd van passasiers op Lanseria Internasionale Lughawe te minimeer. Die doelwit is bereik deur verskillende lughawe uitlegte te vergelyk met behulp van simulasie en deur die toekenning van vlugte aan hekke te verbeter, deur gebruik te maak van die "cross-entropy" metode. Die konsep van Atlanta Internasionale Lughawe is gebruik om vier verskillende lughawe uitlegte te ontwerp. Simulasie is gebruik om die vier ontwerpe te vergelyk op grond van 1) die gemiddelde loopafstand van passasiers wat aankom en vertrek, 2) die gemiddelde tyd wat passasiers wat aankom en vertrek spandeer op die lughawe, 3) die gemiddelde afstand wat vliegtuie a ^e op die lughawe, 4) die gemiddelde tyd wat vliegtuie vertraag word, 5) die gemiddelde hoeveelheid vliegtuie teenwoordig op die lughawe. Die loopafstand van passasiers wat aankom en vertrek is grootliks beinvloed deur die manier waarop vliegtuie aan hekke toegeken is. Die hekke op die lughawe is klein, medium of groot. 'n Klein vliegtuig mag by 'n klein, medium of groot hek parkeer, 'n medium vliegtuig mag by 'n medium of groot hek parkeer en 'n groot vliegtuig mag net by 'n groot hek parkeer. Drie reels waarvolgens vliegtuie aan hekke toegeken kan word is ontwikkel. In die eerste twee reels word 'n vliegtuig wat aankom aan die beskikbare hek naaste aan die terminaal gebou toegeken as die hek geskik is vir die vliegtuig. In die eerste reel is die beperking dat klein vliegtuie nie aan medium en groot hekke toegeken mag word as daar klein hekke beskikbaar is nie en dat medium vliegtuie nie aan groot hekke toegeken mag word as daar medium hekke beskikbaar is nie, ingesluit. Hierdie beperking is nie in die tweede reel ingesluit nie. In die derde reel is metaheuristiek optimering gebruik om vliegtuie aan hekke toe te ken. Die doelwit van die metaheuristiek optimering was om die loopafstand van die passasiers te verminder. Elke keer as 'n vliegtuig op die lughawe vertraag was, is die optimering proses is herhaal. Die agtergrond van lughawens, simulasie, metaheuristieke en gevalle studies is bestudeer in die literatuur studie. Daarna is die simulasie en metaheuristiek optimering modelle ontwikkel. Die resultate van die studie het aangedui watter een van die vier lughawe ontwerpe die beste is. Dit is ook beslis dat die gebruik van metaheuristiek optimering, en spesifi ek die "cross-entropy" metode, die loopafstand van passasiers op die lughawe verminder.

Abstract:
Design and construction functions of skyscrapers tend to draw from the best practices and technologies available worldwide in order to meet their development, design, construction, and performance challenges. Given the availability of many alternative solutions for different facets of a building’s design and construction systems, the need exists for an evaluation framework that is comprehensive in scope, transparent as to the basis for decisions made, reliable in result, and practical in application. Findings from the literature reviewed combined with a deep understanding of the evaluation process of skyscraper systems were used to identify the components and their properties of such a framework, with emphasis on selection of categories, perspectives, criteria, and sub-criteria, completeness of these categories and perspectives, and clarity in the language, expression and level of detail used. The developed framework divided the evaluation process for candidate solutions into the application of three integrated filters. The first filter screens alternative solutions using two-comprehensive checklists of stakeholder acceptance and local feasibility criteria/sub-criteria on a pass-fail basis to eliminate the solutions that do not fit with local cultural norms, delivery capabilities, etc. The second filter treats criteria related to design, quality, production, logistics, installation, and in-use perspectives for assessing the technical performance of the first filter survivors in order to rank them. The third filter evaluates the financial performance expressed in terms of Net Present Value of a skyscraper project over its life cycle as a function of system solutions being considered, and involves treatment of all major cash flow streams (revenues and expenditures), and their timing. Product and process models are developed to provide the cash flow model with the required scope and time information. The most preferred solution is recommended on the basis of filter two and three results. Efficacy of the developed framework and each filter were assessed through their application to many case studies and through interviews with construction professionals. Findings show that the framework addresses the deficiencies identified in the existing literature and can improve the quality of the decision-making process when selecting preferred solutions for building a specific skyscraper in a specific geographic area.

Abstract:
In the past two decades the increase in passengers and frequency of flights has caused commercial air transportation to suffer. The system in current use was designed to satisfy different needs than the contemporary ones. Airports have failed to keep up with increased demands. Movement of passengers and aircraft have not kept pace with advances in technology. Many aircraft arriving and departing simultaneously create unnecessary delays and monetary loss to commercial airlines. The present solutions were based on new additions to existing airports as well as the creation of new airports so that metropolitan flights could arrive to different locations, e.g. JFK, La Guardia and Newark in the New York area; National and Dulles in the Washington D.C. area. The concept of the traditional airport is obsolete and needs to be completely rethought, not modified.

Abstract:
Ever since the airport was conceived as a permanent building type, airport designers have debated what identity an airport should embody. As a threshold of first impressions, the airport should not only introduce the visitor to the local environment but also represent the identity of a country. The aim of this thesis project is to design an airport terminal that reflects the natural and cultural environments of the islands of the Bahamas. Through its architecture, this building attempts to create an engaging experience for its users: passengers, employees and visitors. Local culture and sense of place are abstracted through architectural ideas, realized in the language of contextual modernism. The synthesis of the themes and concepts explored throughout the design process are presented through drawings and commentary. Precedents such as the Taino cosmos, color and nature, place and culture are used to inspire structural systems, form and aesthetics. The plan of the new airport terminal fulfils the functional program while interpreting the land and sea formations of the Bahama islands; ocean currents and land-sea patterns may be associated with movements of people and machines, converging and diverging within the airport environment.

Abstract:
Economic instabilities in our country over the past few decades and improvement in communication technologies, have encouraged Turkish construction firms to utilize business opportunities in foreign countries. However, working abroad brings with it certain risks and problems. The aim of this thesis were to define and clarify problematic factors during the design stages in international design projects (IDP), to collect relevant suggested solutions and to try and determine the sources of these factors. The survey starts with general problems and/or factors which affect international projects and continues to examine whether these problems are the same as those faced in the architectural field. Also, the place of the Turkish construction industry in the world market, the reasons for the increase in international projects and the problems which might be faced while executing IDP have formed the scope of this thesis. To this end informal interviews were carried out with managers and design professionals of architectural firms, based in Ankara, which were involved in international projects, in order to determine types of problems encountered in execution of IDPs. The first questionnaire was based on insight gained from these interviews. Thereafter, the results of the first questionnaire formed the basis of the second questionnaire, which was delivered more extensively. According to the research carried out in this study, the major effective factors in execution of IDPs could be listed as, cultural differences, communication within the project team, information technologies, standards and regulations, client and local authorities and economical situation of target country.

Abstract:
<p>Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMT) are commonly used to lift and move relatively heavy and rigid structures such as oil platforms and bridges. The aim of this paper is to show how to design and analyse a conventional multi-storey building for transportation by SPMTs. The case study is the design of a major international airport pier to be built outside the secure airport perimeter and moved to its permanent airside location using SPMTs. Large scale modular construction methodologies have been adopted to maximise the reuse of the same transport beams and transporters for each module.</p><p>The benefits of this approach for this project are to ensure the majority of the construction activities can take place on a landside site rather than airside. By eliminating the security checks and subsequent transporting of workers this can save in the order of 4,000 workdays, 2,000 bus journeys and associated security and escorting costs. Furthermore the airside area of the airport is not sterilised by long term construction activities resulting in a 6 month benefit to the delivery programme.</p>

Abstract:
The Ponte dei Congressi is a new bridge designed for the city of Rome over the River Tiber. This design is developed by the professional association of engineers and architects who won the international design competition held for this bridge in 2001. 15 years later this project is becoming a reality, with construction due to start in 2016. The design has been adapted and renewed according to the new conditions of the road and traffic design planned in the area. The new design is a steel bowstring arch bridge with 175 m main span, which holds a 24,5 m wide deck, and two side footbridges that are suspended from the deck at a different level, in order to a link the footpaths and bicycle lanes at both river banks. It forms part of a large road connection operation improving South West access to the city of Rome from Fiumicino Airport.

Abstract:
<p>The 24 km dual carriageway Sultan Abdul Halim bridge project, Penang’s second link was completed in 2014. On the island end is Batu Maung which houses the Penang International Airport. On the mainland is Batu Kawan. The main navigation span consist of a cast-in-situ cable stayed concrete bridge with span arrangement of 117.5m +240m + 117.5m. The approach bridge consist of 55m precast segmental box girders constructed span by span supported on high damping rubber bearing on reinforced concrete piers. Bored piles of 2m diameter are used for the cable stayed bridge and 1.5m at the mudflats of Batu Kawan. Driven 1.0m diameter spun piles are used at most of the pier locations and 1.6m diameter steel pipe piles at chainages where very high piers and deep seabed level is encountered. The 7 km land expressway on the Batu Kawan side traverses on high embankment build along low lying ground of very soft compressible ground extending up to 23m thick. Long term post construction settlement of 50mm for the first 20 years of service requires longer period of surcharge for both the prefabricated vertical drains (PVD) and vibro stone columns (SC). PVD and SC were design for embankment height up to 4.5m and 10m, piled embankment for higher bridge approaches. Once a vast and vacant territory, Batu Kawan is now linked to major highways to other states in the peninsular by the land expressway. In addition to the high number of research facilities that are being set up and with the state government is creating and education hub, making Batu Kawan a prime location for further development. This paper shall describe in detail the planning, design, construction and maintenance of the Second Penang Bridge project.</p>

Abstract:
A pilot facility to capture, upgrade and compress biomethane from a dairy cow-based anaerobic digester is being constructed by the Western Washington University Vehicle Research Institute at the Vander Haak Dairy. A faculty and student team has designed the facility and undertaken its construction. The facility will provide fuel for an Airporter Shuttle/Bellair coach that will operate along the U. S. Interstate 5 corridor from near the U. S./Canadian border to the SeaTac Airport south of Seattle, Washington. The facility is designed to study and develop a renewable energy source for transportation in Whatcom County. This paper examines the benefits of the Biomethane for Transportation project, the challenges facing dairy-derived biomethane and an overview of the system design and construction.
