Full textAbstract:
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), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), geographic information systems (GIS), and gaming technology. This study comprehensively reviews 191 research articles, published between 2010 and 2019, focusing on providing an overview of the implementation and application of VDC technologies for improving construction safety. The objective of this review is to critically collect and analyze applications of VDC technologies and present a holistic view of the features and functions of VDC technologies that can impact jobsite safety improvement in the construction industry. The review showed that VDC technologies can substantially improve construction safety. Emerging digital technologies, such as BIM, VR, AR, GIS, and gaming technologies can transform the traditional document-oriented safety procedures into digitalized safety practices allowing safety managers to visualize and analysis construction sites virtually to devise proactive safety measures and effective safety trainings. This study also highlights challenges such as research gaps regarding these digital tools that are currently impeding their widespread use in construction safety.

With the advancement of digital design practices in the global construction industry, different aspects related to the project lifecycle are extracting their benefits, including making improvements in safety. The objective of this paper is to ascertain the awareness of these technologies, their potential, and any barriers related to the use of different virtual design construction (VDC) tools, such as building information modeling, virtual reality, augmented reality, and geographic information systems, to improve job-site safety in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. The paper presents an overview of the GCC construction industry and highlights current safety management practices and problems in the region. The potential of VDC tools for improving job-site safety is discussed and presented. The study has used a questionnaire survey to identify the drivers and barriers of using VDC tools in improving job-site safety management in the GCC region. The results indicated that “designing emergency and evacuation plans” and “fall-hazard prevention strategies” are the two best safety applications of these tools if used proactively. Similarly, “lack of knowledge about return on investment for VDC tools” was considered as the predominant barrier, preventing stakeholders from using these technologies to improve construction safety. These results will help the GCC construction industry to build a strategy for the digitalization of proactive constructability analysis techniques for improving job-site safety. Overall, due to the multilingual dynamics of this region, it is recommended that VDC tools should become more prevalent so that the transfer of safety information and hazard prevention becomes easier, mitigating safety risks.

Full textAbstract:
Effective substation management should include engineering and construction costs. While the construction process has to be methodically planned and sequenced to achieve optimized construction costs, substation designers play a vital role for delivering cost-efficient substations. Integrated design and construction has been proposed as a way to achieve effective project management, which historically viewed, was a responsibility of a “master builder”, thus causing Contractors to identify themselves as “master builders”.
As EPC is a highly competitive arena, Contractors are looking for ways to differentiate themselves from their competitors. Some are turning to 3D technologies, while others turn to the design-construction integration. Virtual Master Builder (VMB) supports both 3D technologies and the design-construction integration. Due to a global shortage of worldwide available expertise, Contractors turn to education and training of their employees. While education aims at providing basic skills, training aims to provide the skill necessary to do the job. This paper examines these basic skills as a part of personal mastery before defining organizational learning as a key organizational competence.
Physical Virtuality realm is seen as a fruitful ground for staging of memorable and transformational experiences leading towards achieving “accelerated learning”, and especially 4D models as representations of a “space-time” environment. The project case of Skopje 4 SS 380/110 kV rehabilitation is given as an example of 4D models usage. Project Engineering is seen as a middle ground between engineering and management in order to achieve goals of effective substation management and cost-efficient substation solutions. Project teams are seen as Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) users to achieve these goals.

<p class="Resumo">A implementação de tecnologias da informação na construção civil, como <em>Virtual Design and Construction</em> / <em>Building Information Modeling</em> (VDC/BIM) representam uma nova perspectiva para melhores práticas na AECO (Arquitetura; Engenharia; Construção; Operação). Contudo, no cenário brasileiro, estas práticas carecem de métodos para medição e análise de desempenho processual da informação na gestão do processo de projeto, demonstrando a deficiência da documentação de critérios e seleção de indicadores que contribuam para melhoria do setor da construção civil. Trata-se de uma pesquisa descritiva sobre a exploração do método <em>VDC Scorecard</em> e a adaptação à realidade brasileira, tendo por base pesquisa bibliográfica e documental existentes em bases de dados internacionais e nacionais explorando os seguintes aspectos: benefícios registrados; dificuldades na implementação; boas práticas na gestão do projeto. A pesquisa valida a importância dos métodos de desempenho que se adequem ao contexto nacional, viabilizando a integração e controle da informação entre agentes envolvidos num modelo colaborativo de edificação virtual e apropriação de dados por meio dos modelos de desempenho configurados através da análise contínua dos processos, da organização e do produto. Esta apropriação possibilita a documentação de um banco de dados de práticas eficientes para gestão de processos de projeto configurando o desempenho do modelo.</p>

The recent fourth industrial revolution and the era of post-COVID-19 have ushered in a series of technologies including a 5G network and online systems, such as cloud computing technology. In other industries, extensive studies on cloud platforms utilizing such technologies were conducted. Although the cloud environment has taken on greater importance in the construction sector as well, it was used only for servers, failing to fully reflect the characteristics of the cloud system. In particular, compared to large architectural design firms, it is challenging for small to medium-sized design firms to establish a virtual cloud computing environment, which requires high capital investment. Targeting small to medium-sized architectural design firms in Korea, this study was conducted to introduce the VDI system, one of the cloud computing technologies that was recently used in other industries, to the BIM environment for initial application, operation, and management. Specifically, after an analysis was carried out to see if the VDI system utilized in other industries may resolve the hindrance faced with the BIM environment in the construction industry, the KBimVdi system was created based on an algorithm for estimating server scales by analyzing the VDI system suitable for the BIM work environment. This was followed by a validation of the KBimVdi system based on selected projects carried out by small to medium-sized architectural firms where BIM was used for design work.

Full textAbstract:
Recently, the concept of virtual data center (VDC) has attracted significant attention from researchers. VDC is made up of virtual nodes and virtual links with guaranteed bandwidth. It offers elasticity and flexibility, which means VDC can adjust resources dynamically according to different requirements. Existing studies focus on how to design the optimal embedding algorithm to achieve high success rate for the virtual data center request. However, due to the resource of physical data center changes over time, the optimal solution may become sub-optimal. In this paper, we study the problem of virtual data center migration and propose an energy-aware virtual data center migration algorithm, called CA-VDCM-ACO. This novel algorithm leverages the migration technique to further reduce the energy consumption with the success rate for the physical data center guaranteed. The extensive experiments show that our algorithm is very effective to reduce the energy consumption.

Full textAbstract:
Allocating bandwidth guarantees to applications in the cloud has become increasingly demanding and essential as applications compete to share cloud network resources. However, cloud-computing providers offer no network bandwidth guarantees in a cloud environment, predictably preventing tenants from running their applications. Existing schemes offer tenants practical cluster abstraction solutions emulating underlying physical network resources, proving impractical; however, providing virtual network abstractions has remained an essential step in the right direction. In this paper, we consider the requirements for enabling the application-aware network with bandwidth guarantees in a Virtual Data Center (VDC). We design GANA-VDC, a network virtualization framework supporting VDC application-aware networking with bandwidth guarantees in a cloud datacenter. GANA-VDC achieves scalability using an interceptor to translate OpenFlow features to prompt fine-grained Quality of Service (QoS). Facilitating the expression of diverse network resource demands, we also propose a new Virtual Network (VN) to Physical Network (PN) mapping approach, Graph Abstraction Network Architecture (GANA), which we innovatively introduce in this paper, allowing tenants to provide applications with cloud networking environment, thereby increasing the preservation performance. Our results show GANA-VDC can provide bandwidth guarantee and achieve low time complexity, yielding higher network utility.

Full textAbstract:
Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) introducerades tidigt på 2000-talet för att främja ett arbete med datorbaserade modeller samt involvering av produktionsplanering i designfasen. VDC är ett koncept som idag har anammats inom många bygg- och konsultföretag för att utveckla arbetet med Building Information Model (BIM), innovationer och samverkan inom byggprojekt. Konceptet VDC förändras ständigt och omdefinieras av enskilda individer och företag. Det här resulterar i att det råder en begreppsförvirring hur VDC ska definieras och hur arbete med VDC ska genomföras. Vidare tenderar många byggprojekt att vara fragmenterade med projektmedlemmar som främst fokuserar på sitt eget teknikområde. För att minska fragmentering mellan projektmedlemmar kan integrerade arbetsmetoder tillämpas. Syftet med examensarbetet är därför dels att undersöka innebörden av VDC som koncept och även hur VDC kan stimulera integrerade arbetsmetoder. Ämnet utforskas kvalitativt med vetenskaplig litteratur och intervjustudie. Den vetenskapliga litteraturen definierar konceptuellt VDC och två integrerade arbetsmetoder Integrated Concurrent Engineering (ICE) och Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). Varvid intervjustudien inkluderar respondenter från byggsektorn vars reflektioner om det studerade ämnet presenteras. Studien är geografiskt avgränsad till Sverige. I resultatet påvisas den rådande tvetydigheten huruvida VDC definieras. För att undvika begreppsförvirring kan det vara behövligt med en gemensam definition av VDC i byggbranschen och även nationella riktlinjer vilka beskriver hur arbete med VDC ska utföras. Vidare kan VDC stimulera ett integrerat arbetssätt genom en ökad samhörighet inom byggprojekt med bland annat gemensamma formuleringar av projektmål och gemensam problemlösning mellan projektmedlemmar.Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) was introduced early in the 21st century in order to encourage work with computer based models and construction planning in the design phase. VDC is a concept that has been embraced by several construction and consulting companies in order to develop their work with Building Information Model (BIM), innovations and cooperation within construction projects. VDC is a concept that keeps evolving and is being redefined by individuals and companies. This has contributed to a conceptual confusion within the construction sector about the definition of VDC. Furthermore, construction projects tend to be fragmented with project members that are working in silos and primarily focusing on their own discipline. In order to decrease the fragmentation within construction projects integrated working methods can be applied. Therefor the purpose of this master thesis is to explore the concept VDC and how it can stimulate integrated working methods. The study is examined using qualitative methods based on scientific literature and an interview study. The scientific literature is defining VDC conceptually and two integrated working methods Integrated Concurrent Engineering (ICE) and Integrated Project Delivery (IPD). Furthermore, the interview study includes respondents from the construction industry whose reflections and thoughts about the subject are being presented. The study is geographically limited to Sweden. The result shows the current ambiguity of how VDC is defined. In order to avoid a conceptual confusion a common definition should be formulated with national guidelines that describe how work with VDC should be conducted. Furthermore, VDC can stimulate an integrated approach through increased cohesion within construction projects, including common objectives within the project and joint problem solving between project members.

Full textAbstract:
Byggbranschens teknikutveckling har de senaste årtiondena har introducerat många tekniskainstrument bl.a. Computer-Aided Design (CAD) och Building Information Modeling (BIM).År 2001 introducerades Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) av CIFE på Stanford som ettnytt arbetssätt som svar på den minskande produktivitet som drabbat byggindustrin. VDCdefinieras som användningen av multidisciplinära modeller för att uppnå projektmål (Fischeroch Kunz, 2004). Sammantaget används tekniker från BIM, Integrated Concurrent Engineering(ICE) och Lean Construction inom VDC (Mandujano et al, 2015).Studien syftar på att undersöka kopplingen mellan VDC och entreprenörers verksamhetssystemsamt att granska implementeringsprocessen och dess utmaningar. För att göra detta måste ävenentreprenörernas egna definitioner av VDC kartläggas. Arbetet har genomförts med enkombination av en litteraturstudie och en intervjustudie för att täcka den etablerade kunskapeninom den akademiska arenan samt entreprenörernas egna kunskaper inom området.Intervjustudien har inkluderat två företag samt en utomstående expert.Resultatet skildrar att synen på VDC är olika bland entreprenörerna, bl.a. beskrivs det att varaett arbetssätt, ett arbetsverktyg eller ett hjälpmedel för att uppnå en väloptimerad byggnad.Entreprenörerna använder VDC praktiskt i form av ICE-liknande mötesstrukturer eller 3D- och4D-modeller. Den kumulativa implementeringsprocessen hos företagen ha bedrivits genompilotprojekt och kontinuerlig utbildning av medarbetare. Företagen har använt två skildaimplementeringsstrategier för VDC in i verksamhetssystemet. Dels en explicit-strategi därVDC skrivits in direkt i verksamhetssystemet som ett eget ämnesområde. Den andra strateginkallas implicit, där VDC inte nämns alls i verksamhetssystemet, utan istället är detbeskrivningar, guider och rutiner som förändrats för att integrera VDC som ett standardiseratarbetssätt i organisationen.The construction industry's technological development has in the recent decades introducedmany technical instruments, for example Computer-Aided Design (CAD) and BuildingInformation Modeling (BIM). In 2001, Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) was introducedas a new way of working by CIFE at Stanford in response to the declining productivity in theconstruction industry. VDC is defined as the use of multidisciplinary models to achieve projectgoals (Fischer and Kunz, 2004). Techniques from BIM, Integrated Concurrent Engineering(ICE) and Lean Construction are all used within the VDC-process (Mandujano et al, 2015).This study aims to investigate the connection between VDC and contractors’ operationalsystems, and to examine the implementation process and its challenges. To do this, thecontractors' own definitions of VDC must also be defined. The work has been carried out as acombination of a literature study and an interview study to cover the established knowledgewithin the academic arena and the contractors’ own knowledge in the field. The interview studyhas included two companies and one external expert.The result shows that the view of VDC is different among the contractors. For example, it’sdescribed as a methodology, a tool or a utility to achieve a high-performance building. Thecontractors use VDC practically in the form of ICE-like meeting structures or 3D and 4Dmodels. The cumulative implementation process of the companies has been conducted throughpilot projects and continuous VDC-training of employees. The companies have used twodifferent implementation strategies for VDC into their operational system. One company useda explicit strategy where VDC was entered directly into the operational system as a separatesubject area. The second strategy is called implict where VDC is not mentioned at all in theoperational system, but instead it’s descriptions, guides and routines that have been changed tointegrate VDC as a standardized working method within the organization.

Full textAbstract:
Within the last decade BIM technology products have been providing the construction industry with various tools that can be used in all construction phases and aspects with a wide set of potentials that range from visualization to simulation, scheduling and cost estimation (Kam , et al., 2016). As a result, the term BIM started to have new interpretation from a process- oriented perspective beside the product-oriented interpretation. These different interpretations and definitions of BIM creates an ambiguity regarding BIM. The ambiguity about what is BIM takes another direction when the term “Virtual Design and Constructions” VDC is used as synonym of BIM as well in many situations. VDC is defined as the use of integrated multi-disciplinary performance models of design-construction projects to support explicit and public business objectives (Kunz & Fischer, 2012). This study is an attempt to answer the following questions: What are the differences between BIM and VDC and how BIM and VDC interact and affect each other. As a result, a timeline for both terms was created based on a historical analysis for the emergence of both terms. Furthermore, more differences between VDC and BIM were located through literature reviews and empirics and this mapping was used to find how each term affects the other. The study was conducted in Tyréns Swedish consultancy company and it covered two infrastructure projects where VDC is used.

Full textAbstract:
Actualmente, los proyectos de edificaciones que se vienen ejecutando generalmente no cuentan con una ingeniería definida al inicio de la etapa de construcción. Esto genera que los proyectos tengan numerosas indefiniciones en su inicio. A consecuencia de ello, las consultas, las órdenes de cambio, y definiciones se dan en mayor cantidad en la etapa de ejecución aumentando el esfuerzo y por lo tanto incrementando el plazo contractual en la solución de cualquier retrabajo.
Las metodologías tradicionales, no colaborativas, suelen tener como común denominador, la gran cantidad de solicitudes de información durante la construcción. Esta situación sumada a de un flujo lento de respuesta a las consultas realizadas en campo puede resultar perjudicial para la entrega oportuna del proyecto.
Esta metodología VDC se basa en “construir” dos veces, es decir construir previamente la edificación en un modelo virtual con todas las especialidades consolidadas y compatibilizadas para una vez teniendo el modelo liberado y libre de indefiniciones, se proceda con la construcción real. Esta metodología, busca la reducción de los recursos innecesarios y la disminución de la variabilidad a través del trabajo colaborativo mediante las sesiones ICE en el uso conjunto de herramientas tecnológicas (BIM) y filosofías Lean.
La presente tesis demuestra que, teniendo un modelo integrado en la etapa de diseño y acompañado de un equipo colaborativo en sesiones ICE, es posible trasladar los esfuerzos de la etapa de construcción a la etapa de diseño y de esta manera reducir el tiempo de ejecución de los proyectos.Currently, building projects being executed, generally, do not have a defined engineering at the beginning of the construction stage. This situation generates that the projects have numerous undefinitions in their beginning. As a result, consultations, change orders, and definitions are given in greater quantity in the execution stage, increasing the effort and therefore increasing the contractual term in the solution of any rework. Traditional, non-collaborative, methodologies usually have as a common denominator, the large number of requests for information during construction. This situation added to a slow response flow to field requests can end up being detrimental to the timely delivery of the project. This VDC methodology is based on “build” twice, in other words, previously build the project in a virtual model with all the specialties consolidated and compatible for, once having the model released and free of undefinitions, to proceed with the actual construction. This methodology seeks to reduce unnecessary resources and reduce variability through collaborative work through ICE sessions in the joint use of technological tools (BIM) and Lean philosophies. The present thesis demonstrates that, having an integrated model in the design stage and accompanied by a collaborative team in ICE sessions, it is possible to transfer efforts from construction to design stage in order to reduce execution time of building projects.

Full textAbstract:
Bakgrunden till studien grundar sig i att mätetal är en viktig del i projekt där VDC, Virtual Design andConstruction, används som metod för projektledning. Det skiljer sig hur företag väljer att arbeta medmätetal och vilka resurser som finns tillgängliga. Denna studie genomförs på uppdrag av Tyréns somär i uppstarten med att använda denna metod i utvalda projekt. De vill med denna studie ta fram enmetod för att visa projektorganisationen och beställaren hur de arbetar med VDC. Studien är därfören inledande studie för att undersöka ett lämpligt sätt att arbeta med mätetal och genomförs genomatt svara på frågeställningarna: • Vilka mätetal, med avseende på BIM, är relevanta att mäta för att uppnå kundens ochprojektets mål? • Hur presenteras dessa mätetal gentemot projektdeltagarna på ett pedagogiskt sätt? Studien har genomförts på Tyréns kontor i Stockholm tillsammans med personal från Tyréns egen BIMavdelning.Materialet i denna studie har tagits fram genom en intervju med avdelningschef JakobBerggren och genom två workshoppar där deltagarna har fått möjlighet till att diskutera ett lämpligttillvägagångssätt gemensamt. Detta material har tillsammans med tidigare studier analyserats för attslutligen presentera två mätetal och hur dessa kan presenteras. Utifrån studiens resultat framkom att tydliga BIM-relaterade mål saknas i dagsläget, vilket är enförutsättning för att mätetal ska kunna vara till nytta för projektet. Trots detta, ansåg deltagarna istudien att, antalet kollisioner i en BIM-modell samt tiden som sparas tack vare automatiska processeranses som lämpliga mätetal att påbörja ett arbete med. Utgångspunkten för dessa mätetal bör dåhandla om att bygga upp en historik av mätetal för att sedan kunna sätta lämpliga mål samt få kundoch projektledning att förstå nyttan med BIM. Genom att förstå nyttan med BIM är förhoppningen attBIM-relaterade mål ska utformas tidigt i projekt. Mätetalen bör presenteras på projektets projektsida där Tyréns använder Microsofts programSharePoint. Presentationen sker lämpligast i form av en dashboard och den visuella utformningen ärav stor vikt för att ge projektdeltagarna en tydlig och konkret bild av mätetalen utan att vilseleda.Slutligen presenteras ett lämpligt förslag på utformningen av denna dashboard med hänsyn tilllämpliga riktlinjer som framkommit under studien.The background of this study is that the measurement figures are an important part of projects which use VDC, Virtual Design and Construction, as a method for the project. How companies choose to work with the measurement figures and which resources they have available differ. This study is carried out on behalf of Tyréns, which is a company that is at the beginning of using this method in selected projects. Together with this study, they want to bring forth a method to show the project organization and the client how they work with VDC. This study is, therefore, an initial study to examine a suitable way to work with measurement figures and is accomplished by answering the questions: • Which measurement figures are relevant to measure, concerning to BIM, to achieve the customer's and the project's goals? • How can these measurements be presented to the project participants in an educational way? The study has been conducted at Tyrén's office in Stockholm together with staff from Tyrén's own BIM department. The material in this study has been produced through an interview with Jakob Berggren, who is the Head of the Department, and through two workshops where participants were allowed to discuss an appropriate approach in common. This material has been analyzed together with previous studies to finally present two measurement figures and how these can be presented. Based on the results of the study, it was found that clear BIM-related goals are currently lacking, which is essential for measuring figures to be useful in the project. Despite this, the participants in the study considered that the number of collisions in a BIM model and the time saved thanks to automatic processes are considered as appropriate metrics, to begin with. The initial work should then be to build up a history of these two metrics to set appropriate goals and get the customer and project management to understand the benefits of BIM. By understanding the benefits of BIM, the expectation is that BIM-related goals will be formulated earlier in projects. Furthermore, the metrics should be presented, according to the participants of the study, on the project's project page which is SharePoint, developed by Microsoft. The presentation of the metrics is most suitable in the form of a dashboard. The visual design is of great importance to give the project participants a clear and concrete picture of the metrics without being misled. Finally, an appropriate proposal for the design of this dashboard is presented at the end of the report and taking into account the appropriate guidelines that emerged during the study.

Full textAbstract:
Building Information Modeling (BIM) plays an important role in today's construction industry. Models are tools that help stakeholders communicate, visualize building geometry, perform trade coordination and clash detection among others. A less popular aspect of BIM that shows high potential is the quantity take-off (QTO) feature. Yet, its implementation among commercial general contractors (GC) has not received as much attention. The purpose of this study was to identify how the BIM QTO features were being implemented among commercial general contractors, what challenges they faced and how they worked to overcome those challenges. Through a three-step process including semi structured interviews with estimators, preconstruction, BIM and Virtual Design Construction (VDC) managers, valuable insights on the BIM QTO implementation state among general contractors were gathered and analyzed. Links between BIM QTO benefits, project design phases and delivery methods, software, training, leadership and jurisdictions were discussed. The data indicated that BIM QTO's benefits were best leveraged through early general contractor involvement, the adequate contract framework, trained BIM QTO estimators, and early and strategic communication between owners, designers and estimators. The conditions for increased efficiency were discussed along with the solutions to the common BIM-based QTO challenges.

Las nuevas construcciones exigen un mayor nivel de planeamiento y flujo de información entre todas las áreas de producción y soporte de una obra. Es importante tener en cuenta que una buena planificación en obra conlleva a minimizar los desperdicios, re-trabajos e inconsistencias en el entregable final para el cliente. En la actualidad, la empresa GYM se encuentra en la búsqueda de nuevas estrategias de trabajo donde no solo se busque anticipar los problemas e inconvenientes que pueda suscitarse en obra, sino que a la par tengamos la visión del cliente sobre el trabajo realizado a la fecha y puedan irse mejorando las observaciones y levantando las no conformidades paralelamente al avance del proyecto. Una deficiencia encontrada dentro de los proyectos ya realizados, es la gran cantidad de Solicitud de Información (SI) que se identifican durante la construcción, estos son derivados al especialista encargado del diseño o al cliente y, en muchos casos, terminan definiendo una ruta crítica dentro del cronograma de avance de construcción y/o al dilatarse el tiempo de respuesta o nunca tenerla, derivan en toma de decisiones en campo que crean la posibilidad de rechazo ante la entrega final al cliente. Por otro lado, se encuentran un gran número de No conformidades (NC) que repercuten en el incremento de horas hombre y, por ende, en consumir gastos de levantamiento de observaciones que no se encuentran contempladas dentro del presupuesto de obra, un desperdicio de recursos (mano de obra), materiales, equipos, etc. que es importante minimizar para beneficio del proyecto.
Por ello, para minimizar estos desperdicios se plantea el uso de VDC mediante sesiones colaborativas e integradas con parte del equipo de Proyecto: Sub contratistas, Contratista principal y proveedores; el objetivo del proyecto se logrará si cada una de las partes involucradas trabaja desde la etapa de planeamiento de manera integrada. De esta manera, se logrará llegar a la etapa de ejecución con menos probabilidad de incurrir en gastos que no crear valor al entregable final.
The new constructions require a higher level of planning and information flow between all areas of production and support of work. It is important to keep in mind that a good planning on site leads to minimize waste, re-works and inconsistencies in the final applicable to the client. Currently, the company GYM is in search of new work strategies where not only can anticipate the problems and inconveniences that may arise in the work, but at the same time has the vision of the client about the work done to the date and the observations can be improved and the non-conformities parallel to the progress of the project. A shortcoming found within the projects already carried out is the large amount of Information Request (SI) that was identified during the construction, these were derived to the specialist in the design of the client and in many cases, they end up defining a critical path within the construction progress schedule and / or when the response time is extended or never, resulting in decision making in the field that creates the possibility of rejection of the final delivery to the client. On the other hand, there are a large number of non-conformities (NC) that have an impact on the increase in man-hours, therefore, in consumption of expenses for the collection of observations that are not included in the work budget, a waste of resources (workforce), materials, equipment, etc. which is important to minimize for the benefit of the project.
Therefore, to minimize this waste, the use of VDC is proposed through collaborative and integrated sessions with part of the Project team: Sub contractors, main contractor and suppliers; the objective of the project will be achieved if each of the parties involved works from the planning stage in an integrated form. In this way, it is possible to reach the execution stage with less probability of incurring expenses that do not generate value to the final deliverable.Tesis

Full textAbstract:
Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) is currently used more and more within construction design and planning as well as construction as a streamlining tool aiming to improve communication and decrease the number of construction defects. VDC is constantly developing, but what comes next? The augmented reality (AR) technology is currently not used within construction in Sweden but should be considered as the next step in line regarding the integration of reality and digital information. Using this technology design can become reality even before it’s actually built. The purpose of this study has been to carry out an inventory of the existing AR technology and its shortcomings, and also to identify possible applications within the construction phase. VDC has also been investigated in order to identify the weaknesses in this technology and an assessment has been made as to how these can be eliminated and hence how VDC can be improved. Based on that this thesis has been carried out with the following main question: How can augmented reality be implemented in the construction industry and how can it become integrated with VDC in order to achieve a streamlining effect in construction? The theoretical background is based on a literature study where information about augmented reality has been collected from technical reports from all over the world. A study of the technology behind augmented reality and its possible areas of application as well as a description of the future possibilities and ongoing research has been made. VDC has only briefly been examined in the literature study. Interviews with construction staff and experts within AR and VDC have been conducted in order to obtain a basis for an analysis of the current situation. Based on these interviews gains and shortcomings of the VDC technology have been identified, and requests for the AR technology’s future applications have been plotted. The result of the literature study is that a positioning technique that is more accurate and more robust than the ones on the market today needs to be developed in order for the AR-technology to work properly. There are a number of beneficial areas of application for AR in construction given that the previously mentioned problem is overcome. VDC in construction brings substantial benefits in terms of financial and time savings. It serves the communication between design and construction. AR will be easier to use for marketing purposes and early stages of projects than in construction. As for VDC more focus needs to be put on the implementation of the technology to a broader crowd rather than developing the technology further in a small group of experts. In order for augmented reality to be implemented in the construction industry VDC and its support need to be further developed towards construction before yet another technology is introduced. Augmented reality will not solve the shortcomings of VDC today.I dagsläget används Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) mer och mer inom byggprojektering såväl som inom byggproduktion som ett effektiviserande arbetssätt för att förbättra kommunikation och minska byggnadsfel. VDC är under ständig utveckling, men vad kommer efter denna? Förstärkt verklighet (AR, eng. Augmented Reality) används i dagsläget inte i byggproduktion i Sverige men ses som nästa steg i ledet av integrering av verklighet och digital information. Med hjälp av denna teknik kan projektering bli verklighet innan det är byggt. Syftet med denna studie har varit att inventera existerande AR-teknik, dess brister samt att kartlägga möjliga användningsområden inom byggproduktion. VDC har även undersökts för att identifiera denna tekniks svagheter och en bedömning av hur dessa kan avhjälpas och VDC förbättras har gjorts. Utifrån detta har arbetet utförts utifrån följande huvudfrågeställning; Hur kan AR-teknik implementeras i byggbranschen och hur kan den integreras med VDC för att uppnå en effektivisering i byggproduktionen? Teoribakgrunden bygger på en litteraturstudie där information om AR-teknik från tekniska rapporter inhämtats. En studie av tekniken bakom Augmented Reality och dess möjliga tillämpningsområden inom byggproduktion har gjorts, samtidigt som framtida möjligheter och pågående forskning har beskrivits. VDC har endast undersökts flyktigt i litteraturstudien. Intervjuer har genomförts med produktionspersonal och sakkunniga inom VDC och AR för att erhålla underlag för en nulägesanalys. Utifrån intervjuerna har nytta och brister med VDC-tekniken kunnat utrönas, samtidigt som önskemål på AR-teknikens framtida tillämpning har kunnat kartläggas. Resultatet av litteraturstudien är att en positioneringsteknik som är noggrannare och mer robust än de som finns idag måste utvecklas för att AR-tekniken ska fungera i syftet. Det finns ett flertal fördelaktiga tillämpningsområden för AR i byggproduktion förutsatt att ovanstående problem övervinns. VDC i produktion innebär stora fördelar i form av ekonomiska och tidsmässiga besparingar. Det främjar kommunikationen mellan projektering och produktion. AR kommer att vara lättare att använda i marknadsföringssyfte och i tidiga skeden än i produktion. Vad gäller VDC behöver mer fokus läggas på att implementera tekniken till den stora massan istället för att utveckla tekniken ytterligare i en liten expertgrupp. För att AR-tekniken ska kunna implementeras i byggbranschen bör VDC-tekniken och dess stöd först utvecklas fullt ut mot produktion innan ytterligare en teknik introduceras då denna inte kommer att åtgärda de brister med VDC som finns idag.

Full textAbstract:
A lot of companies are investing in new working methods and technical innovations that is developed to improve productivity in the construction industry and to make it more efficient. One of these innovations is a working method called VDC, Virtual Design and Construction. A project called Sörredsmotet is a design-build project with Veidekke Entreprenad AB as a design-build contractor. The client of the project is Trafikverket. One of the ambitions with the project is to use VDC in the design phase of the project. The purpose with this study is to in cooperation with Veidekke examine how the working method is implemented on the project, what conditions are needed to implement VDC and also how VDC affects designers. The research questions are: I. How has the working method VDC been implemented on the project Sörredsmotet? II. What conditions are needed to implement VDC? III. How does the working method affect designers? To answer the research questions three studies have been carried out; a literature study based on earlier research, observations of design meeting and VDC-network meetings and an interview study with 18 respondents. One demarcation for the study is to examine the VDC in design phase only. Conclusion for the first research question is that the project works partially with VDC, but the working method cannot be considered as implemented on the project. One ambition was to carry out the design phase with ICE-sessions, but organization and working method for external organization made it difficult to gather the right people and to make decisions on meetings. The layout was changed to have design meetings inspired by ICE methodology instead of ICEsessions. Part of the design is made in a cloud based 3D-model while other parts of the design is made in 2D. Veidekke has developed a visualization model for the project. It requires both organizational conditions and conditions for individuals to start using the working method. Due to the construction industry’s project -based structure many so-called innovators and early appliers are requ ired. It is necessary to look at the project’s prerequisites and to make plans about the project’s goals, how to achieve the goals, what is needed to achieve them and to make the reason for the change clear. To get as good prerequisites as possible, both for internal and possible external organization, this should be done at an early stage of the projects. Motivation is also important for implementation of the working method. New skills that may be required are mainly concerning models. For designers the working method means that the workflow changes when work is done with BIM, Building Information Model, which is a tool in VDC. More planning and communication is required when working with BIM. To work model-oriented instead of working with 2Ddrawings requires different ways to think. There are a lot of challenges working with BIM, but also many advantages, mainly in projects that requires a lot of coordination.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Anthropomorphic hydraulic manipulator arms are extensively utilized for moving heavy loads in many industrial domains, e.g., in off-shore, construction and mining. By equipping these manipulator arms with an additional 3 degrees-of-freedom (DOF) spherical wrist mechanism, the dexterity and working envelope of the manipulator can be increased. For versatile operations, the motion range for the hydraulic wrist actuators should be close to 360 degrees with high torque output, with a compact volumetric size. Although the wrist can provide a high power-to-weight ratio, the actuators also introduce significant non-linearities in their dynamic behaviors. The complex dynamic behavior combined with high loads yield significant challenges in closed-loop control design. In this paper, we design a novel subsystem-dynamics-based controller for a hydraulically actuated spherical wrist mechanism utilizing the virtual decomposition control (VDC) approach. The proposed 3-DOF wrist controller is designed to be modular; thus, it can be connected as an plug-and-play subsystem into our previously designed state-of-the-art controller for a 3-DOF hydraulic manipulator arm. Stability proof of the overall 6-DOF system is provided. Experiments with a full-scale commercial hydraulic manipulator arm equipped with the 3-DOF spherical wrist demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Full textAbstract:
A formação do arquiteto e urbanista requer a associação de habilidades e conhecimentos de maneira holística, com o desenvolvimento de competências e habilidades técnicas, tecnológicas e interpessoais. O profissional que vai atuar na Industria 4.0 deve apresentar características como a colaboração, o pensamento crítico, a comunicação etc. Neste contexto, BIM (Building Information Modeling) e VDC (Virtual Design and Construction) atuam como pontos centrais para permitir a colaboração entre as pessoas e o gerenciamento de dados em todo o ciclo de vida da edificação. Diante disso, os cursos de graduação devem promover a formação deste profissional. O curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo do Centro Universitário Facens, desde sua abertura em 2018, promove esforços para a implementação de VDC/BIM no curso contando com apoio e incentivo institucional, da coordenação e toda a equipe docente. Este trabalho apresenta a situação atual e perspectivas futuras do uso de VDC/BIM na matriz curricular do curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Facens. Os componentes curriculares do curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo da Facens são divididos por eixos temáticos, sendo estes: linguagens de arquitetura, projeto, tecnologia do ambiente construído, história e formação geral. As disciplinas que compõem os eixos temáticos de Linguagens de Arquitetura e Projeto são voltadas ao desenvolvimento de conhecimentos e habilidades de representação, tecnologia e processo de projeto. Cada uma das disciplinas, trabalha com um ou mais propósitos de VDC/BIM, como: concepção e modelagem, coordenação, colaboração, parametrização, fabricação digital, apoio à tomada de decisão etc. Nas disciplinas do eixo de Tecnologia do Ambiente Construído, a aplicação dos conceitos de VDC/BIM volta-se principalmente para simulação e síntese do projeto. O eixo de História é composto por disciplinas que tratam de teoria e história, patrimônio e estudos socioeconômicos; nestas, conceitos importantes de BIM são abordados. E, por fim, as disciplinas do eixo de formação geral tratam de conceitos gerais para subsidiar a formação do arquiteto e urbanista. O uso de VDC/BIM na Matriz do Curso de Arquitetura e Urbanismo do Centro Universitário Facens perpassa praticamente todos os semestres do curso, com exceção do primeiro, na qual são trabalhados conceitos importantes de BIM, e do último, no qual o uso de BIM no trabalho final de graduação é de escolha do estudante. Nos demais semestres, todas as disciplinas de Desenho Digital e Arquitetura Digital, são voltadas principalmente ao ensino de um ou mais propósitos de VDC/BIM, como: modelagem, coordenação, colaboração, parametrização, fabricação digital etc. Já as disciplinas de projeto de arquitetura e projeto de urbanismo, trabalham principalmente na aplicação destes aprendizados no desenvolvimento de um projeto. As disciplinas com potencial aplicação de BIM, estão concentradas principalmente no eixo de tecnologia do ambiente construído. Este eixo é composto por disciplinas como: sistemas estruturais, conforto, instalações elétricas e hidráulicas, topografia etc. O uso de BIM nestas disciplinas está sendo incentivado pela coordenação, através da capacitação do corpo docente e interdisciplinaridade. As disciplinas que não possuem interface com BIM, estão concentradas, em sua maioria, no eixo de formação geral; estas disciplinas são focadas no aprendizado de conceitos gerais, comuns a vários cursos da área. Os resultados demonstraram que 36% das disciplinas do curso adotam BIM, 20% trabalham conceitos importantes de BIM, cerca de 35% têm potencial de aplicação de BIM e em apenas 9% das disciplinas não se visualiza nenhuma interface com BIM, por enquanto. Deste modo, verifica-se que a maioria das disciplinas do curso já trabalham com os propósitos de VDC/BIM. As ações futuras centram-se na busca pelo uso de VDC/BIM em todos os semestres do curso e em todas as disciplinas. Pretende-se, a curto prazo, adotar o uso de BIM já no primeiro semestre do curso. Além disso, busca-se, também a curto prazo, o uso de VDC/BIM nas disciplinas com potencial uso de BIM, a fim de auxiliar na análise, simulação e síntese do projeto, através do incentivo, capacitação docente e interdisciplinaridade. A interdisciplinaridade é um dos instrumentos que auxiliam na adoção de VDC/BIM em todas as disciplinas do curso, a partir da colaboração e comunicação não só entre os alunos, mas também entre os docentes, através do uso de VDC/BIM na otimização deste processo. A busca pela transdisciplinaridade do curso, no qual o conhecimento é adquirido de maneira holística e contextualizada, passa também pela adoção de novas tecnologias e novas formas de aprendizagem. A coordenação, em conjunto com o corpo docente e a instituição, está se esforçando para implementar BIM, não só em cada disciplina, mas também entre todas as disciplinas, de forma a preparar o aluno para ser um profissional capacitado. Este trabalho irá contribuir na temática do ensino de BIM no Brasil, podendo ser utilizado como referência e auxílio ao planejamento e análise da adoção de VDC/BIM em outros cursos de graduação. Ainda que, este artigo seja voltado para o curso de arquitetura e urbanismo, a mesma sistemática pode também ser utilizada em outros cursos, como o de engenharia civil.

Full textAbstract:
In many areas of modern engineering, especially in the field of plant engineering, models have become indispensable. Models are not only used for construction, but also to simulate the system behavior e.g. for the control design or during virtual commissioning (VC). In all applications, it has to be decided how detailed the created models should be. For this, a methodology for selecting the modeling depth can be used, which is based on four different modeling depths. However, if requirements change during the operation of the system, it may be necessary to change the modeling depth during simulation run time. The main purpose of this article is to present an approach which allows the modeling depth to be adjusted in terms of changing conditions during simulation runtime. This approach is illustrated by an example of a material flow system.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The CODY1 Virtual Constructor is a knowledge-based system that enables the interactive assembly of 3D visualized mechanical parts to complex and novel aggregates in a virtual environment. Two interaction modalities are provided: The user may (1) either directly manipulate the virtual scene by grasping, moving, and assembling parts using the mouse or similar input devices; or, (2) the user can instruct the system using simple commands in natural language. The basis for these interaction facilities is provided by a knowledge based approach, COAR (“Concepts for Objects, Assemblies, and Roles”%), that is especially tailored towards the representation of ongoing assembly tasks. In COAR, a structured model of a target aggregate can be specified. The system will then — while an aggregate is assembled in the virtual scene — recognize constructed subassemblies of the target aggregate. Furthermore, if multifunctional parts are used, as is likely when considering standardized construction kits, the system also recognizes the specific functional roles assumed by single parts in different subassemblies. We foresee potential manufacturing applications of virtual assembly (a) in the rapid design of novel assemblies and (b) in planning and simulation of assembly processes.

Full textAbstract:
As society moves into the digital age, the expectation of instantaneous electricity at the flip of a switch is more prominent than ever. The traditional electric grid has become outdated and Smart Grids are being developed to deliver reliable and efficient energy to consumers. However, the costs involved with implementing their infrastructure often limits research to theoretical models. As a result, an undergraduate capstone design team constructed a small-scale 12 VDC version to be used in conjunction with classroom and research activities. In this model Smart Grid, two houses act as residential consumers, an industrial building serves as a high-load demand device, and a lead-acid battery connected to a 120 VAC wall outlet simulates fossil fuel power plants. A smaller lead-acid battery provides a microgrid source while a photovoltaic solar panel adds renewable energy into the mix and can charge either lead-acid battery. All components are connected to a National Instruments CompactRIO system while being controlled and monitored via a LabVIEW software program. The resulting Smart Grid can run independently based on constraints related to energy demand, cost, efficiency, and environmental impact. Results are shown demonstrating choices based on these constraints, including a corresponding weighting according to controller objectives.

The I SEA project aimed at the development of a non-obtrusive, valid and replicable method to evaluate audience attitudes about science communication projects through an immersive virtual reality environment that can improve exhibitions while educating and empowering citizens. To achieve the objectives of this highly complex, highly interdisciplinary, and innovative project, a permanent articulation of the scientific approach with the technical and design development took place, aiming the construction of the non- invasive evaluation method. Because it is an intricate project, it required constant iterations and interactions among the team members. So, we’ve learned somehow to consider limitations as engines for developing the project, instead of seeing them as obstacles.
