ABSTRACT

C. B. Tatum,1 Fellow, ASCE1Prof., Dept. of Civ. Engrg., Stanford Univ., Stanford, CA 94305-4020

Themanagement challenges of integrating construction methods, such as preassembly

andmodularization, with design approaches are described. Effective integration of these

methods brings about many project benefits. First we describe how construction

methods relate to the other major considerations in defininga project. We then identify

benefits of integration that relateto the project's environment and benefits that assist in

meetingthe project's objectives.

The project changes and the management challenges of integrating consideration of

major methods and fundamental design approaches for both the overall project and

specific functional operations are also described. The practical applications describe

managerial actions to realize the benefits, and the conclusions indicate the broader

implications of integrating construction methods and design approach.

ABSTRACT

Current construction simulation systems need detailed architectural models and

schedules inorder to estimate costs and visualize the construction process. However,

the process of developing a building model, formulating a schedule, and eventually

synchronizing them is a time-consuming and laborious process.When changes occur,

the model and schedule must be modified or rebuilt using the same time-consuming and

laborious process. Therefore, systems of this kind are used only for some

demonstrations.

This paper describes a new way to automate construction simulations using simple

architectural information and predefined construction method templates. Anumber of

construction method templates are computer readable and arestored as a knowledge

base. The writer proves the concept by implementing a computer system to process

building models andconstruction methods.

The concept allows designers and construction engineers to

build a model and simulateconstruction processes in a short period of time in the early stage of construction

projects.

The article describes a new way to automate construction simulations using

simple architectural information and predefined construction method templates.


The writer proves the conceptto be usefulby implementing a computer system to

process building models and construction methods. Since the process of

developing a building model, formulating a schedule, and eventually

synchronizing them is a time-consuming and laborious process, thus, theproponents have designed the methods described. Furthermore, the methods

solve the problems such as when changes occur, the model and schedule must

be modifiedor rebuilt using the same time-consuming and laborious process


It helps me in my future job because the concept allows designers and

construction engineers tobuild a model and simulate construction processes in a

shortperiod of time in the early stage of construction projects.

Construction Methods and Costs of Stress-

Laminated Timber Bridges

Issue Date: September/October 1990

ABSTRACT

Edward F. Sarisley,1 Member, ASCE1Assoc. Prof., Constr. Engrg. Tech. Dept., Central Connecticut State Univ., New

Britain, CT 06050

Modern timber bridges are being considered by several states as a cost-effective

alternative to steel and concrete bridges for municipal and rural use. Before full-scale

adoption of stress-laminated timber bridges canoccur, a U.S. bridge specification needs

to be developed incorporatingresearch findings from experimental structures that have

recently been built in this country. Although much attention has been focused on

defining structural behavior and modeling pre-stress forces, little has been

written aboutconstruction methods, engineering development, and the transfer of construction

technology.

This paper presents the results of an analysisof the construction process for a prototype

stress-laminated timber-deck bridge.

The constructability, material specifications, projected maintenance, and life-cycle costs

are addressed and compared to conventional bridge construction. This case study in

Connecticut documents that relatively short project duration was achieved (three

months), along with significant cost savings, despite the experimental nature of the

study.

conventional bridge construction to develop model and compare laminated

timber as more cost-effective material in municipal and rural areas than other

materials.

Recently, a construction method for installing a precast pile nearby an existing driven

pile has been developed considering the drainage of buried soil excluding the

embedded soil of the ground. Thistype of displacement pile may affect the behavior of

thesurrounding ground.

This study examines the influence of the displacement pile on the behavior of the

surrounding ground with axisymmetric elastoplastic finite element analysis. In the

analysis, increment of volumetric strain is applied to simulate the construction of the

displacement pile. The behaviors of the ground consisting different types of soil

characteristics such as cohesive soils, sandy soils and mixing

of different soils arediscussed.

Thispaper describes the major stages and component steps leading tothe realization of

the technical and commercial potential of a new construction technology. It

encompasses a process of innovation and invention, which is generically applicable to

any construction innovation. Acase illustration of a new asphalt compaction technology

is also described within each stage to provide a real life example. Motivation for the

new technology came from the fact thatexisting, conventional rollers can cause serious

damage to the compactedasphalt mat at the time of construction. This damage is in the

form of construction cracks, often termed roller checking, which can result in

accelerated, in-service deterioration.

The new technology originally termed the Asphalt Multi Integrated Roller (AMIR),

overcomes theproblems of current rollers through stiffness compatibility with the asphalt

mix and a different geometry than conventional rollers. Commercial realization of the

technology has been achieved through a new generationof AMIR, termed HIPAC. The

paper also provides background on the issues of concern to pavement engineers,

including limitations of current compaction methods. It explains in functional terms the

unique difference provided by the new technology. As well, it describes the major

Trenchless technology is an emerging area of construction involving innovative methods,

materials, and equipment used for the installation of new and

the rehabilitation orreplacement of existing underground infrastructure with minimal or no need for open cut

excavation. This technology providesan alternative to traditional methods of open trenching

construction, which is often associated with major disruptions to surface activities. The

results of a survey of trenchless construction methods in Canada are presented in this

paper. The survey, which was sent to 87 municipalities across Canada, provides an

indication of current and future trends in the application of trenchless construction

technologiesin the municipal arena including type and frequency of technologiesemployed,

percentage of projects that employed trenchless technologies, and contractor selection

methods. The survey results indicate that trenchless technology is gaining increasing

popularity among municipal engineers across Canada. The percentage of all municipal

projects utilizing trenchless construction methods has grownover the past 5 years by 180%
