Improvement of Buildings' Structural Quality by New Technologies by Christian Schauer,ENG. Federico Mazzolani,Gerald Huber,Gianfranco de Matteis,Heiko Trumpf,Heli Koukkari,Jean-Pierre Jaspart,Luis Bragança Pdf

Launched in May 2000, the aims of the COST C12 cooperative action were: to develop, combine and disseminate new technical engineering technologies to improve the quality of urban buildings to propose new technical solutions to architects and planners to reduce the disturbance caused by construction in urban areas and improve urban quality of life. This volume contains the proceedings of the COST C12 final conference held in Innsbruck, Austria from January 20-22 2005. The book reflects not only the outcome of the four years’ work of the cooperative, but also the contributions made by other international experts at the conference, focused on three broad themes: mixed building technology; structural integrity under exceptional actions; and urban design.

COST C16 Improving the Quality of Existing Urban Building Envelopes by L. Bragança,C. Wetzel,V. Buhagiar Pdf

As a result of changes in the composition of the population, society changes continuously with respect to various factors including age-structure, family composition and the availability of energy. Changes lead to situations that are reflected in the commissioning of buildings, which is gradually shifted from new construction to the reuse and renovation of existing buildings. The adaptation of buildings often requires the modification of facades and the construction behind. The scope of this action within the COST Transport and Urban Development Domain is to improve techniques and methods for envelopes of buildings constructed during the last half of the 20th century in the COST countries. In other words it is directed on the building envelopes of the so-called non-traditional buildings. This publication is based on a support by COST, an intergovernmental European framework for international cooperation between nationally funded research activities. COST creates scientific networks and enables scientists to collaborate in a wide spectrum of activities in research and technology.

Construction Innovation and Process Improvement by Akintola Akintoye,Jack Goulding,Girma Zawdie Pdf

Innovation in construction is essential for growth. The industry strives to remain competitive using a variety of approaches and needs to engage structured initiatives linked to proven innovation concepts, techniques and applications. Even in mature markets like the Architecture, Engineering and Construction (AEC) sector, where business behaviour is generally considered as being risk averse, it is increasingly important to embed innovation into mainstream business practices. In Construction Innovation and Process Improvement a number of wide ranging issues from construction practice in different countries with different contexts are presented to provide a rich collection of literature embracing theory and practice. Chapters are divided into three broad themes of construction innovation relating to: Theory and Practice; Process Drivers; and Future Technologies. Several questions are posed, including for example: What is particularly unique about construction innovation in theory and practice? What are the major drivers of construction innovation? What factors are needed to support and deliver future construction technologies? In attempting to respond to such questions, the book sheds new light on these challenges, and provides readers with a number of ways forward, especially cognisant of the increased role of globalisation, the enhanced impact of knowledge, and importance of innovation. All these can have a significant impact on strategic decision-making, competitive advantage, and sustainable policies and practices. Part One deals with change management, technology, sustainable construction, and supply chain management; Part Two addresses innovation and process improvement drivers, including strategic management, concurrent engineering, risk management, innovative procurement, knowledge management; Part Three explores future technologies in construction – and particularly, how these can be harnessed and leveraged to help procure innovation and process improvement.

Technological Advancements in Building Construction by Mohammad Arif Kamal Pdf

Technological progress has introduced many innovations in the field of the construction industry. In recent years, the building construction industry is continuously being updated and upgraded with the latest technologies to improve the cost, safety, efficiency, and quality of construction. Construction is essentially the process of moving and assembling materials and equipment into a completed, operational facility. Technology adds significant value at every stage of construction, from planning to the commission, by optimizing efficiency and productivity. The building construction technology covers a wide range of modern techniques and practices that encompass the latest developments in materials technology and their applications, design procedures, quantity surveying, structural analysis and design, the functioning of components and systems, procedures and details of building assembly and so on. New advanced materials offer opportunities to change how we construct and retrofit buildings. They give added value in terms of increased performance and functionality. The use of machinery and automation has made its way through the civil engineering, architectural and construction industries. In the rapidly changing scenario of the building sector, architects, engineers and builders should search for new construction technologies to adopt in future constructions that benefit energy efficiency, resources and water conservation, improved indoor air quality, life cycle cost reduction, durability and low maintenance. Therefore, to attain these objectives, application and knowledge of latest advancements in various building construction technologies are of prime concern. This book 'Technological Advancements in Building Construction' contains Six chapters that introduce some scientific methods and state-of-the-art building technologies that may be beneficial to architects, engineers, building scientists and construction industry professionals.
