Stochastic simulation optimization has been proposed by several researchers to optimize construction operations. Traditionally, explicit averaging is used to estimate the objective functions of candidate solutions. This is carried out by calculating...

The power of the relationship between building information modeling (BIM) systems and advanced artificial intelligence models holds considerable weight for users of BIM. This relationship allows the generation, analysis, and deduction of insights fro...

Modern research is increasingly focused on the use of sustainable materials in concrete to increase its mechanical properties in order to enhance its performance for different applications. Banana leaf ash has great potential to increase the compress...

Multi-parametric valuation techniques, in real estate valuation, are particularly useful to understand and define all the factors that contribute to the determination of market prices. Even though a plethora of building features influence the way pri...

The aim of this study is to question the need for alternative project delivery methods to foster the integration of concrete 3D printing in the construction industry. For this purpose, a literature review was carried out. The results indicate that th...

Maintenance decisions at the end of building components’ service life are frequently driven by subjective motivations that can arise from various sources, including the building owner’s personal preferences, sentimental attachments, aesth...

In the field of technological construction tools, 360-degree panorama provides a panoramic virtual reality capable of representing the construction environment in great detail. While there are many studies on their pedagogical and safety applications...

Taking Yan Garden as the research object, this paper mainly looks at the evolution process of its campus planning during the past century. In the early stage, many aspects, such as orientation and cultural symbols, showed that Yan Garden greatly refl...
