Project
A Project is defined as a temporary endeavour undertaken to create a unique product/service/results.
Product
The product in case of a construction project is the constructed facility such as a building, a bridge, a highway, a dam, a canal, a factory etc.
Estimating is the technique of calculating/computing the various quantities and the expected expenditure to be incurred on a particular work/ project. For all engineering works it is required to know beforehand the probable cost of construction known as the estimated cost. Necessary for preparing an estimate are drawings like plan, elevation and sections of important point’s, detailed specifications about workmanship & properties of materials, Standard schedule of rates of the current year. Estimate is required to invite the tenders and Quotations and to arrange contract, also required to control the expenditure during the execution of work. Construction projects require huge amounts of capital and have many risk factors due to the unique industry characteristics. For a project to be successful, accurate cost estimation during the design phase is very important. Estimate decides whether the proposed plan matches the funds available or not. In this project we estimate the quantities required for the construction of the Tailor shop and later calculate the cost by preparing the abstract of cost.
Site organisation in Construction is one of the major things, that needs major attention for effective running of Construction Projects. How can we use Construction technology to improve site organisation.
Presentation describes important designing parameters, reasons for formwork failures and prevention of such failures. It also touches upon remedial measures.
Construction Project Management is an important subject to learn in Civil Engineering.
Significance • As construction involves various activities starting from the design and planning to project completion and quality check, there is a exorbitant need for Management of construction. • Construction Industry plays a crucial role in the economy and development of a nation.
4. Objectives To complete the project in specified time and with allocated budget. To Plan and schedule the work and distribute between various departments. Deployment of personnel in Different tasks. To achieve High quality workmanship. Creating an organisation that works as a team. Using the limited available resources and producing maximum output. Providing safe and satisfactory working conditions for all personnel and workers.
5. Functions: Planning & Scheduling Organizing Staffing Directing Controlling & Co-ordinating
6. Stages of construction Briefing Designing Tendering Construction Commissioning
7. 1) Briefing Stage • This stage consists of framework required for the construction work to take a shape from the ideology of client and feasibility of Project which involves architects, engineers and project manager.
Objectives Developing Alternatives Feasible Solution ? Evaluation of Alternatives Report & Recommendation Technical and non technical Investigations
8. 2) Designing or planning Stage Prepare construction schedule Prepare final cost estimate Prepare Working Drawings and specificati ons Prepare scheme and detailed designs Soil investigations, Topographic investigation, material supply and market surveys etc Carry out Technical Investigations Final adoption of the most suitable summary Finalize Project Summary
Following are some suggestions for future research. As GFRSCC technology is now being adopted in many countries throughout the world, in the absence of suitable
standardized test methods it is necessary to examine the existing test methods and identify or, when necessary, develop test methods suitable for acceptance as International Standards. Such test methods have to be capable of a rapid and reliable assessment of key
properties of fresh SCC on a construction site. At the same time, the testing equipment should be reliable, easily portable and inexpensive. The test procedure should be carried out by a single operator and the test results have to be interpreted with a minimum of training. Also, the results have to define and specify different GFRSCC mixes. One primary application of these test methods would be in verification of compliance on sites and in concrete production plants, if self- compacting concrete could be manufactured in large quantities..

Flexible and Scalable Modelling in the MONDO Project: 3 Industrial Case Studi...Alessandra Bagnato
Today, system designs and their management are crucial parts of most systems development processes. To stay competitive engineers from several expertise domains use Model-Based engineering (MBE) to design the systems they intend to implement in order to specify, test, simulate, validate and iterate their design as soon as possible. System designs are living and evolving artefacts this imply to be able to manage them in an efficient and agile way. The MONDO FP7 EU project aims to comprehensively tackle the challenge of scalability in system design and management by developing the theoretical foundations and an open-source implementation of a platform and will offer to Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) users advanced flexibility in their different modeling approaches. This paper describes three different industrial demonstrators and three different modelling approaches that will be utilised to evaluate the capabilities of the MONDO technologies. For each demonstrator the interests of the industrial user partners are described along with their current and desired improvements in technologies to support MBE in a much more flexible way. Specific evaluation scenarios are specified for each of the targeted industrial domains as well.
Best Converting Point Cloud to BIM and BIM Laser Scanning.pdfRvtcad
In the ever-evolving landscape of construction and design, the integration of cutting-edge technologies has become paramount for achieving efficiency, accuracy, and precision. Among these technologies, Point Cloud to Building Information Modeling (BIM) conversion and BIM Laser Scanning stand out as game-changers in streamlining project workflows and enhancing project outcomes. In this article, we delve into the best practices and strategies for maximizing the potential of these technologies.
The construction industry is at the edge of digitalisation where several emergent technologies are being implemented. However, it is not possible to make a comparison with other sectors like the automotive or health ones. This is due to the construction’s pain point, that is, its uniqueness of the construction site in every different situation.
Nonetheless, within the sphere of the construction industry, there are also divergences: whereas in the security and safety activities, innovative technologies have already been implemented and they are being developed, in the geotechnical ones, these are not applied yet. Some of these emergent technologies are Augmented Reality, and 3D printing, among others.
On the other hand, the concern about the huge frequency of landslides and their subsequent consequences, sometimes devastating, motivates the study of this research.
This Bachelor Thesis, hence, tries to aim at the AR application together with 3D printing in the geotechnical study field, more specifically in the on-site inspections in order to provide with a sample Augmented Reality app that enhances the routine visual inspections on site focusing on foreseeing landslides from happening because of the observation of specific indicators in the early stages of the movement.
Firstly, an exhaustive literature review regarding landslides, several geological indexes that characterize rock mass, embankment’s inspections and emergent technologies in geotechnics is carried out.
Afterwards, the design of the app is designed and developed by means of different softwares used during the whole process. In the design, several requirements (Key Performance Indicators, KPI) are stablished in order to evaluate afterwards the proposed tool.
Following, the evaluation of the results according to the KPIs proposed in the design phase is performed in order to evaluate the app’s performance. Here, a scale model of an embankment is also created using 3D printing in order to evaluate the app.
