significant damages incurred across lebanon during the july 2006 war encompassing the destruction of road networks, bridges and overpasses as well as a vast number of dwelling units. it is anticipated that reconstruction works after the war shall unavoidably create a newly founded demand for natural resources, most notably primary and secondary construction material. this paper assesses the war...

Good quality base and sub-base material for road pavement construction is becoming increasingly scarce. Dolerite is one of the more abundant natural road building materials in South Africa. Yet, it seems that the road design and construction fraternity shy away from using it in favour of more expensive commercially produced crushed material – and so artificially increase the scarcity of natural...

BACKGROUND The presence of PCB in caulking (sealant) material found in masonry buildings has been well-documented in several countries. A recent investigation of 24 buildings in the greater Boston area found that 8 buildings had high PCB levels in caulking materials used around window frames and in joints between masonry blocks. Workers removing caulking material have been shown to have elevate...

Background: With advances in technologies that enabled massive visual data collection and BIM, the AEC industry now has an unprecedented amount of visual data (e.g., images and videos) and BIMs. One of the past efforts to leverage these data includes the Construction Material Library (CML) that was created for inferring construction progress by automatically detecting construction materials. CM...

This paper evaluated CSLBs as a building material for sustainable housing construction. The study focused primarily on evaluating its physical properties as a building material as well as a measure of its level of acceptability for housing construction among the populace. The study was carried out in four local governments namely; Ogbomoso North, Ibadan Southwest, (in Oyo State) Ado-Odo Ota, (O...
